The creator and exec producer said that a "year of change" was possible. However, he hoped that Che, who this season became the person with the second most appearances behind the Weekend Update desk, overtaking Seth Meyers, would be a part of that change.
The cast is just too big now, obviously. Lorne used to run the show with an iron fist. Now cast members sign in the week before the season premiere and show up whenever they feel like it. Some actors dream of being on SNL, and now it's Pete Davidson's part time job.

You either give leeway for people having other opportunities or you lose them altogether. I have no problem with any of it.

JFC, don't they have any editors at Deadline?
'Haste makes waste,' especially working under a Deadline.
Three Crooked Squirrels:arrogantbastich: Wow, in before "it hasn't been funny since season 1" crowd.
Not really. See the post above yours.
The others were good. Chevy is the classic. It's like comparing James Bond's to Connery. There are some good, even great ones, but Connery is always the standard from which we compare to.
That said, Che and [white guy married to woman none of us have a shot with] are by far the funniest anchors in the role since Chevy Chase. I'd even argue they're the best, period.
There's nothing funny on TV anymore because it allowed itself to be pulled to the Twitter outrage garbage juice cheap reality celebrity productions. Anyone on the screen who makes a genuinely unsettling joke will be consumed for the food inside and their hair and nails tossed out to warn other jokers.

Banking on one of the least talented cast members who can't play a character or do a single impression, and has all the charisma of an angry chunk of driftwood? Sounds like a typical Lorne move.

Always Team Norm.
This is still one of the funniest series of jokes I've ever seen on SNL.

Punky will be gone. Sarah may surprise us. Atari (yes spelled wrong) seems like he's vanished. New Biden and trump I like.
Main cast...
I think Chloe and Heidi can be the new Cecily and Kate. I can see Alex or Mikey leaving as well.
They're all super talented. I'll miss the old, and will embrace the new.
