i have high hopes for her, based solely on those videos i think she might be able to lighten wiig's workload a bit

I guess most of the lady roles will be Fred Armisen in a wig now?

Meanwhile, Sudeikis has a new movie in the works, Relanxious, where he will star opposite his real-life love Olivia Wilde.
this is one of the worst movie titles ever btw

had no idea he was dating Olivia Wilde, dude is lucky

I still appreciate dude as a comic actor, but irl Sudeikis is a dickweed of the highest order. He hops from starlet to starlet after leaving his wife "because he could get hotter chicks".
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:04 (twelve years ago) link
No results found for "because he could get hotter chicks".
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:05 (twelve years ago) link
Not a direct quote obvs, but relayed to me through about six degrees of comedians. Actually, disregard. It's probably bullshit.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:10 (twelve years ago) link
In his Maron interview he came across as very protective of January Jones even though they weren't dating anymore.
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:14 (twelve years ago) link
Really glad that Wiig is finally leaving, but bummed about Samberg and Sudeikis leaving. I know the SNL Digital Shorts have really dipped in quality, but he brought his moments.

I'll miss Wiig and Sudeikis. Samberg, not at all.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:21 (twelve years ago) link

His wife, the beautiful and hilarious 30 Rock writer Kay Cannon. I mean...come on, dude.
― 1 of paper = 4 of coin (Deric W. Haircare), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:22 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― 1 of paper = 4 of coin (Deric W. Haircare), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:24 (twelve years ago) link
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.

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.
― ferrante's inferranteno (some dude), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:34 (twelve years ago) link
i really had no idea Horrible Bosses made bank like that, damn.
― ferrante's inferranteno (some dude), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:35 (twelve years ago) link
Sudeikis has been kind of the glue of the show for a while imo, i may actually miss him
― ferrante's inferranteno (some dude), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:36 (twelve years ago) link
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.

Meyers is on year 11.
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 22:45 (twelve years ago) link
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.
