Earlier this week, it was announced that Seth Meyers will leave SNL after next season to take over Jimmy Fallon’s Late Night NBC show. It was also announced that SNL vet Bill Hader will depart after this weekend’s season finale. Could Jason Sudekis & Fred Armisen follow suit?
According to a report in The New York Post, Armisen is departing and Sudeikis “probably” is as well.
In the New York Times article, Lorne Michaels was asked if Armisen and Sudeikis had decided whether they were going to stay or go. He replied, “I don’t think so. I think they’re making their decisions, and we’ll know soon enough.” Both comedians are in the last year of their “SNL” contracts.
That is 4 of the big stars of the show all leaving at relatively the same time. Someone call Lorne Michaels and tell him that I’m available!!
