A Somewhat More Official Announcement of The New SNL Cast Members
Weeks ago, some source leaked out the new cast members of this upcoming season of Saturday Night Live, which was kept at a level of heavily rumored at the time. Kyle Mooney, Beck Bennett, Noel Wells, John Milheiser, and Mike O’Brien were all announced, but not officially by NBC, as joining SNL in the coming weeks. In short, we don’t like things that are just heavy rumors.
Yet, this post at The Hollywood Reporter doesn’t include the phrase “heavily rumored”, so we’re about posting about this news now and can say congratulations to all the new cast members as well as the new full time SNL staff writers Brooks Wheelan, Claire Mulaney, and Michael Che.
1) The Full Bridgetown Comedy Festival (@bridgetown) line-up is out! It would almost seem the whole LA comedy scene will be up there for a weekend.
2) Norm MacDonald has his Comedy Central Presents Hour Long Special Tonight at 11:30PM! Charlie Sheen may have stole his thunder from gaining Twitter followers, but that won’t happen tonight… I hope.
3) Also, Norm MacDonald’s Sports Show premieres Tues. April 12th. ALSO, as seen in this staff “weigh-in” video, comedians Sean O’Connor and Doug O. Perkins now write for the show, which deserves a congratulations thrown their way and a definite watching of the Sports Show.
4) Comedian interviews/profiles to check out: Kyle Kinane in NonPopulist/Sean Green on 24/7 Comedy.
5) Conan O’Brien wants your dreams for a secret project. Nothing sounds suspicious about this, right? Check the details here.
