SNL culling

[Dicktar2023]

Sad to see Heidi Gardner go. Michael Longfellow is hilarious, it's too bad he never caught on.

I didn't know Gardner has been there 8 years, so that makes some sense. She is in Shrinking, commercials, and a few others shows/movies so I think she will be fine. Longfellow surprises me, I really liked him. He did a good job on weekend update spots, and as game show hosts. Surprised he was not asked back.

If they would get rid of Jost and Che, Weekend Update might be funny again. Too bad Norm McDonald is deceased.

Jost is ok, but Che has always been terrible. Like, the whole joke is how awful he is...and that joke wore thin years ago.

In SNL you have to hustle and you get in by either getting into skits or write skits that feature you. Its obvious he did neither, honestly he is simply just standard white guy number 5. He didn't have the signed contract from Satan that Pete Davidson did to get into skits others write,

Some additions...

Veronika Slowikowska from "What We Do in the Shadows"...ok by me.

Hate seeing Heidi Gardner leave, but I figured she would've outgrown SNL by now. She's got a very bright future.

I think Ben Marshall will be a good fit. He seems like a very likable guy and should be a good addition. I liked some of the Do Not Destroy stuff, but it was probably played out. I wonder if they will add something new, since those type of videos (Lonely Island, etc.) have been a staple at SNL for years.

Everybody assumed that Gardner was walking away, but apparently she was fired...

With Nwodim gone, is there a single recurring character left? I can't think of one.
