Saturday Night Live Rumors

August 24, 2006

We work down the hall from "Saturday Night Live." And so we’re privy to all sorts of … internet rumors.

We’ve been waiting to say anything about the rumor mill surrounding SNL this week, because there seem to be new and conflicting reports every ten minutes.

This morning, there were rumors that Horatio Sanz, Chris Parnell, and Kenan Thompson were all being given the boot. But another source has Maya Rudolph and Will Forte leaving because they're sick of the show.

And then this afternoon, we find an interview with Horatio Sanz in today's Chicago Sun Times: "I haven't been approached with anything that's led me to believe I won't be back … I think some executives leaked a bunch of bulls#!^."

So, here’s what we know for sure. Tina Fey is definitely leaving because she’s working on NBC’s “30 Rock.” So is Rachel Dratch, who is now going play several different parts on "30 Rock." (Her original character will now be played by Jane Krakowski. Why?)

So, basically, we're still wondering who the four off of SNL will be. If we hear anything around the elevator bank, we’ll let you know.
