The voice of SNL seems to be hanging up his hat. I guess at 91 it is time to kick back and relax. Thanks Don!

I honestly can't believe what a trouper he is! I wonder if it was the Micheala Watkins firing that was the last straw?

I can't explain why, but the title of this thread is funny to me.

Aw, Don will be missed. I had heard rumors of his departure all summer long. I wonder who they will get to replace him.

SNAFU, there are so many classic Don Pardo name maulings! A few of my favorites:

Ralph Jackman (Hugh Jackman)
Lou-DAY-chris (Ludacris)

I have always adored Don! I will miss him, at 90+ chatting up and flirting with the young ladies backstage then having to tear ass to the booth as not to miss his cue his cue during rehearsals..

I don't think so.

That's sad, but obviously in good reason. I haven't paid that much attention to SNL this past season, but I want to get back into it. I saw the most recent cast list and is it true that Jason Sudeikis is also not coming back? I know that he does movies now as well, but it was him and Bill Hadar that made the show for me.

I liked Michaela Watkins a hell of a lot better than Abby Elliot and Casey Wilson! That's a shame.

And Jason Sudeikis had better be back!

Don will be sorely missed, except maybe by the show itself. As the only person with the show it's entire run, he was never mentioned during any anniversary specials, and I find that shameful.

I killed the boss, you don't think they're gonna fire me over a thing like that!!!!

Casey Wilson was fired too! All I know is I will miss the Hoda and Kathie Lee Show!
