According to recent reports, we may be seeing some of the beloved cast members leave the show after this season. Not to mention, with the addition of Kristin McKinnon starting this week, it seems like SNL is preparing itself for some replacements.
According to this report from US Weekly, a source close to the show has confirmed that the three actors will be leaving the show after this season:
“Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg and Jason Sudeikis are all leaving after the end of the season,” says one insider. “It will be a huge blow to the show. Without Andy’s video shorts and Kristen saving every skit, they’ll need help!”
But not so fast. Another source close to Zap2It.com says no decisions have been made:
“No decisions will be made until later this summer,”
It’s common for SNL stars to not make decisions about leaving or staying on the show until the summer after the season ends. Kristen Wiig has recently said that she doesn’t want to leave the show and that the show is like a family “nest.”
What are your thoughts about the potential exit from the show? We can all agree that Kristen Wiig is one of the funniest women in comedy at the moment. Would you rather see her stay on SNL or do other major projects like the Oscar-nominated Bridesmaids?
