That sucks. I was hoping with Wiig gone that her, Nasim Perdrad and Vanessa Bayer would get more air time. They all seem to have really good comedy chops, but were overshadowed by Wiig. Plus Abby's hot heh.

Elliot was the weak link among them. Nasim Pedrad and Bayer are fantastic, I am not too concerned with her moving on.

It's one of the best reviewed albums of the year....for whatever that is worth. Pitchfork has been losing it's mind over the guy.

The album didn't really do anything for me.

'SNL' adds 3 new castmates
http://jam.canoe.ca/Television/2012/09/10/20185451.html

"Saturday Night Live" has added three new featured players, all associated with Second City and Chicago’s iO theater.

Aidy Bryant trained with iO Chicago and Annoyance Theatre and was an ensemble member of the Second City E.T.C Stage.

Tim Robinson, also an alumnus of The Second City, performed on its mainstage and in its national touring company. He has also performed at the iO Theater in Chicago and at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal.

Cecily Strong has performed as a member of the Second City national touring company and has studied at the iO Theater.

The three will try to fill the shoes of departing castmates Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg and Abby Eliott. Jason Sudeikis, who plays Mitt Romney, may also exit after the election.

Jay Pharoah will be taking over the Obama character this year from Fred Armisen. Overdue but better late than never.

If he can impersonate him like he does Will Smith, Jay-Z and others then I'm excited to see it.

Sudeikis (plays Romney IIRC) is leaving in January, so Lorne must be real confident that Barack is going to win?

You can hear Pharoah's impression at the 7 minute mark of this video. He's pretty good:

Odd as it is to say, he may be too black to play Obama convincingly.

But he better start doing something. He's the most limited performer I can remember SNL keeping around for any length of time.

Yeah, he was pretty bad in the few sketches that they actually had him acting in.

Ya that guy still hasn't won me over yet. I'm admittedly automatically standoffish (maybe even unfairly so) to any new cast member, but pretty much all of the new ones the past couple years have to some degree won me over, except for him.

That's the problem with impressionists, there are only so many times you can see Denzel before you get bored. Especially if he's actually doing a true to life accurate impression and not really presenting any comedy material with it. Take Darrell Hammond. His Trump impression is not spot on but it it's hilarious because of the material he presents. I think if they give Jay some slack to do more characters he's made up, he'll improve vastly. I liked the high school principal character (making announcements at a dance) he's done a couple times.

Pretty weak for a premiere. Macfarlane had his moments, but between some pretty weak skits and a brutal musician, hard not to fast forward through a lot of it.
