This Saturday, September 30, comes the 32nd season premiere of Saturday Night Live. With Dane Cook as the guest host and "The Killers" as musical group, both make their second appearances.
With this latest season, the cast has been cut down from last year's 16 to now 11. Loosing Tina Fey and Rachel Dratch to the new show "30 Rock" and also Seth Meyers as a regular cast member, reportedly. Seth is now going to be a one of three head writers and the co-host of Weekend Update with a returning Amy Poehler.
Also, due to "budgetary cutbacks" - Horatio Sanz, Finesse Mitchel, and Chris Parnell have been let go.
Let us mourn for "Starkisha," "Appalachian Emergency," "Zinger!,"Debbie Downer," and "Merv the Perv" just to name a slight few.
But let us all be happy in that some of the younger upstarts may get an even bigger chance to shine. Hopefully Fred Armisen and Bill Hader will be the stand-outs. This could be Kristen Wiigs breakout season as well. "Lady at Target: THE MOVIE!" Keenan Thompson is a sketch comedy veteran and I really hope that he shows what he has this year, after last year getting some huge laughs. Hopefully Will Forte (please, no THE FALCONER movie ) and Jason Sudeikis can keep up the good work as well. I LOVE Maya Rudolp and has very happy to hear she is staying on. Andy Samberg was really making me happy with the Digital Shorts.
If memory serves me correctly, here is this season's cast:
Keenan Thompson
Kirsten Wiig
Bill Hader
Maya Rudolph
Amy Poelher
Fred Armisen
Andy Samberg
Jason Sudeikis
Will Forte
Darrell Hammond
Seth Meyers (if included in sketches, I hope so)
