E.J. Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Well, Rob Riggle was on the cast for 5 minutes if that counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Michael McKean, Chris Elliott, Janeane Garafalo, Billy Crystal, Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer and Martin Short are other examples off the top of my head of people with established comedic voices who then joined SNL. It's a bit hit or miss, success-wise. Typically doesn't work out that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I know it is typically reviled, but I loved the McKean, Elliot, Garafalo season. They also had Kids in the Hall's Mark McKinney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Don Pardo died this evening. He was 96 years old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 He started doing voice-over work in 1938. THIRTY!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 That's bananas. Oddly enough, before I went to sleep I was thinking about the movie voice guy and how when he left, trailer vo's kind of disappeared. I thought, maybe it's because that guy was so iconic at his job, that why bother, you know? I feel like that's how Pardo is. Someone else saying the names would just sound so weird.

Bustronaut Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Will Daryl Hammond continue to fill in? If so, will he still be doing his Pardo impersonation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.J. Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Cecily Strong is out from the Update desk, Michael Che is in, Jost will remain as co-anchor. Pretty surprising, last year it seemed they were hell-bent on giving Strong as much air time as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 So Che is returning from The Daily Show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincey Greene Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 They probably should have ditched Jost also. Che and... I don't know. Not Colin Jost or Cecily Strong or anyone else who idolizes Seth Myers. We had enough Seth Myers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimWresPowr Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Press release I read said Che was a writer last season & he & Jost are really close. I liked Strong on there better than Jost but he did seem to loosen up a bit by the end. At least they realized they needed to make some changes. No new cast has been announced but they removed Milhiser, Wells, Pedrad & Wheelan from the site. I would assume they announce the cast next week?

Larry Rydell Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 20 year old stand up Pete Davidson is the newest cast member. His face just screams "punch me in the head as hard as you can" That and his voice is irritating as fuck, very thick Staten Island accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUkered Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I saw that and couldn't believe how long he's been on the show. Feels like he's been on maybe 4 years, tops. And I'm sure I'm completely alone on this, but I dig the hell out of his Steve Harvey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 So the new formula for weekend update is: Tell a couple of our writers to go out and do five minutes of their standup routine. On the bright side, though. That was basically Leslie Jones letting us know that within a few months she is going to be fucking massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I thought she already did that with the slavery bit last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 My favorite part of the episode was the 90s sitcom. It is surprising that Kate McKinnon was barely on since she was one of the breakout cast members from last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimWresPowr Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Weekend Update was drastically improved. Michael Che and Leslie Jones knocked it out of the park. The set & graphics change was a much needed change too in order to make a clean break from the Seth Myers era. Colin Jost was perfectly fine next to Che as well. Glad to see the return of Cecily's "girl at the party" character, one of the few recurring characters they have had in recent years that is both funny and not annoying.
