2020-2022 SNL lost: Aidy Bryant, Kate MacKinnon, Cecily Strong, Alex Moffat, Vanessa Villasenor, Chris Redd, Pete Davidson, Kyle Mooney, Leslie Jones and Beck Bennett.
You can like or not like any of them but it's a lot of seasoned players, with a few all-timers. And 2017-2020 Lost Moynahan, Jones, Killam, Pharaoh and Bayer.
With Keenan being an outlier, the current new crop is Sherman, Yang, Gardiner, Hernandez and Fineman. Nwodem, Johnson, and Desmukes have their moments. The rest have a lot of ground to gain fast or they'll get replaced. It's just a paper thin cast with really just 2 standouts in Sherman and Yang (IMO).
SNL has always had waves and has never been shy about replacing cast members. I hope it keeps going regardless of if it's in a lull or not. To me it's like the news, or the weather, it just belongs on TV. It's a pretty remarkable thing Michaels created from scratch and has kept alive for 1/2 a century.
