Can’t wait to watch Season 38!!
Good luck to the new featured players!
I may not have a big-screen television set on September 16th. IF the Grand Central Terminal set is still up in Studio 8H after many, many years, I may just smash my nearly $2,000 investment into little pieces.
The NBC release didn’t happen to announce who’s left the show and who’s been promoted from featured player to “NRFPT Player.”
Kristen Wiig and Andy Samberg/Samburg? have already left and Jason Sudeikis may leave after the election. I haven’t seen if anyone has been promoted to featured player but I have a feeling there will be at least one (Taran Killam).
@Suzy
Abby Elliott has also left and it’s “rumored” Jason Sudeikis will leave too.
