SNL Vets Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah Not Returning for Season 42

Each had six seasons of Saturday Night Live under their belt and are now free to explore other projects like Killam was already doing with a movie he was directing. 

We’re guessing that Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah might take a slightly different route post-SNL given their specific comedic skill sets as compared to recent SNL alums like Kristen Wii and, Fred Armisen. That being said, we can see Killam follow the model of Jason Sudeikis’ very successful film and TV career that now spans comedy and drama given that filled a very similar role on Saturday Night Live.
