Congrats Bowen!!! And for Chloe also I guess…

as someone who has seen Sarah Sherman (Sarah Squirm) live a few times and have followed her, I'd be *shocked* if she stays on past one year.

I heard her on a pod and she grossed me out, and I’m not precious. Her humor seems v off brand for SNL

[evett]

Happy for Bowen but wait..Beck is leaving and we are still stuck with Kyle Mooney? :( rude

[scriptedending]

Wtf?!? I will miss Beck, but I really didn't see that coming. Idg why everyone was so torn up at the last bows if they weren't leaving?

Lauren never stood a chance - she didn't have shit to do and everyone confused her with Aidy.

I saw Sarah Sherman do standup a couple times and she was so deeply unfunny that I vowed to avoid any further standup shows with her on the lineup, so yeah, not thrilled to see her here. I don't know the other two guys, though.

rumor has it lorne convinced a lot of people to stay over the summer

lauren really does look a lot like aidy, and i feel like if aidy hadn't been away for shrill half the season, she would have 0.00 screentime

Yeah I heard he wants to retire at SNL50 and doesn't want to do it with a cast of newbies, so he's been trying to get people like Cecily and Aidy to stay. Obviously Kenan's already in the bag.

pete and cecily were the only ones who got moments that could be qualified as goodbye and tbh they should've left along with aidy and kate (who will be missing some of this season i think bc she's shooting the tiger king show). lorne convinced them all to stay but who knows if that lasts until season 50 like he wants it to.

Bowen and Ego are the only reason to watch!
