He hops from starlet to starlet after leaving his wife "because he could get hotter chicks".
His wife, the beautiful and hilarious 30 Rock writer Kay Cannon. I mean...come on, dude.

I'll miss all three to varying degrees. I think Wiig is moving on to bigger and better things and general stardom. I think Sudeikis is fooling himself a little, because I think he's great on SNL and I think it's the perfect venue for him and I think his film trajectory won't be terribly dissimilar to Joe Piscopo's.

abby elliot may be leaving also depending on if her pilot gets picked up. sudeikis seemed ok on the bs report fwiw, he's norm peterson's nephew iirc.

kind of amazed armisen's sticking around

probably because he had a better grounding in reality than Sudeikis and Samberg and knows he's probably not going to fly any higher than this and Portlandia

Comparing Sudeikis to Piscopo is f'in weird.
Horrible Bosses made 200 mil ww. I don't think Joe Piscopo's combined filmography made that much money.
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:31 (twelve years ago) link
i guess it figures after last year was like the first summer in SNL history with no cast changes that this would be the biggest batch of departures since '94 or '95. Samberg is definitely ready to go, the plethora of non-musica 'digital shorts' has been pretty dire lately.

Sudeikis has been kind of the glue of the show for a while imo, i may actually miss him

Pretty sure I saw Kay Cannon act in plays when she was in college.

fwiw sudeikis costarred in a big (awful) hit comedy last year and is somehow at the point where is name is above the title, he's been on snl a few years, and if there was a time to strike while the iron was hot this is it. if his romney was an impersonation ppl talked about and if romney looked like he was going to win i could see an argument for him hanging around but neither's the case. samberg can still do his shorts whenever he wants, has enough of a fanbase w/ lonely island that he doesn't need the show as much as another cast member might, and he's gonna be in an adam sandler movie that will be a big hit so i can see him thinking it's time (fwiw i think i liked hot rod more than bridesmaids and definitely more than horrible bosses). i never understood really why wiig came back this year, unless it was just an issue of timing.
― balls, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:39 (twelve years ago) link
yeah what up with that could survive w/o will forte but no sudeikis would be a bridge too far. it would be awesome if they could get him to come in to just do that the two or three times they do it a season (seems totally doable).
― balls, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:42 (twelve years ago) link
I think they just wanted to go out together as a graduating class, like the last group.
Sudeikis has been on the show for seven years. There are only a handful of people who have done eight or more seasons.
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:42 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, as much as I may miss any of the folks that leave, I think it'll ultimately be good to shake up the cast a bit. Six of the current cast members (including Seth Meyers) have been around for 5-10 years already.

i wonder if the other lonely island guys will continue to write for the show if samberg leaves?
― techno pink (reddening), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:45 (twelve years ago) link
Most seasons:
Hammond: 14Franken: 11Meyers: 11Meadows: 10Armisen: 10
who is longest serving cast member? tim meadows? xpost not counting seth meyers or al franken or other guys who were primarily writers but did update or popped up in a sketch from time to time
xpost - of course it was hammond
― balls, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:47 (twelve years ago) link
Good catch. Actually, I should've just said "6-11," since none of them (Meyers, Armisen, Thompson, Sudeikis, Samberg, Wiig) debuted later than fall 2005.
― Cuba Pudding, Jr. (jaymc), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:52 (twelve years ago) link
I will definitely miss him in What Up With That.

Okay, maybe Dana Carvey, then. And yes, I know there were extenuating circumstances for his career's nosedive, but still.
Again, I feel the need to point out that I like Sudeikis a lot and wish him the best, but if he's quitting SNL to pursue a film career, I'm not sure that he fully recognizes his own strengths/weaknesses. I think he'd do really well in an ensemble sitcom cast, though.
― 1 of paper = 4 of coin (Deric W. Haircare), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 23:01 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, they need to stop doing 'What Up With That?' full stop if he isn't around to contribute.

taccone already left a couple years ago and i kinda wonder if schaffer even does much besides the digital shorts. samberg has been seemingly doing more live sketches lately but half of them are practically overtly making fun of how shitty samberg's impressions are.

Anyone else get the impression Drunk Uncle went on a little bit longer than scripted this time? Moynihan was in the zone.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 April 2012 18:30 (twelve years ago) link
For the second time, when Drunk Uncle started I thought I'd hate it, but both times he killed it. "Is this wi-fi organic?" Was that the line? Something like that.
And Almost Pizza was SNL at it's best.

Laughed out loud at almost pizza and drunk uncle. I'm such a hypocrite.

Lotta consensus here. Weekend Update winds up being a high point of the show more often than not these days, thanks largely to Hader and Moynihan. Another sure-fire high point being whatever Killam's doing in a given week. His star is on the rise, for sure.
Looks like the Zooey Deschanel Show is the new sketch they're going to suck all of the laughs and charm from through endless reiteration. This one was fine, but Lorne's predictable writing is on the wall.

Kristen Wiig does a really good Drew Barrymore impression, but ruins it by not even resembling her in the slightest. Armisen looks more like Barack Obama than she does Drew Barrymore.

Didn't love new girl in the Bravo skit but thought she was great as Penelope Cruz trying to read the complicated words.

Jay Pharaoh should be doing shit like the school principal all the damn time and Will Smith and Jay-Z impressions very little of the time. Let the man breathe!
Moynihan's dancing during the Empire State of Mind sketch was great. Gotye seems like a chill bro. Loved the open with all the GOP hopefuls at the bar. Laser Cats 7. Josh Brolin was pretty great each time he was on screen, especially in the aforementioned high school dance sketch.
