'Saturday Night Live' Will Return Without 1 Longtime Cast Member For New Season
HuffPost
Kate McKinnon, Colin Jost, Aidy Bryant and Kenan Thompson are among those coming back to NBC’s late night sketch series for the show's 47th season.
When Cecily Strong submerged herself in a giant vat of wine while singing “My Way” on last season’s final episode of “Saturday Night Live,” it seemed like an almost-certain swan song.
But it turns out that Strong, as well as some other senior cast members rumored to be departing NBC’s late night sketch series ― including Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Pete Davidson, Kenan Thompson, Colin Jost and Michael Che ― will stick around for another season, the network announced on Monday.
Joining them for the 47th season will be returning faces Mikey Day, Heidi Gardner, Alex Moffat, Kyle Mooney, Ego Nwodim, Chris Redd and Melissa Villaseñor. Chloe Fineman and Bowen Yang have been promoted to repertory players in the new cast, while Andrew Dismukes and Punkie Johnson will return in their roles as featured players.
