Che has walked back his leaving, as he and Melissa are wont to do yearly.
Also rumors are circulating on Reddit that Patti Harrison, who has been performing with Sarah Squirm recently, may be joining the cast next year.
Very sweet send off for Cecily Strong last night. I’d say she was the last of the SNL cast(minus Keenan) that I really grew up on. She’ll definitely be missed, but I think this new cast has proven that they go on without her. I think she has a really lovely voice and would not be shocked if Broadway is on her horizon either in a play or musical.
Agreed. A very sweet send off. Unless I missed him, I found it odd that Che was not onstage with everyone at the end. Jost was there.
Che leaves after Update every week.

Hm, wonder why he leaves without doing the Goodnights? There have been rumors on and off for years that he was unhappy and leaving the show, but as co-anchor of Update, he's also co-head writer with Colin Jost, and they both kill it every week. And they certainly must be paying him enough to stay. Why, then, does he seem cranky about that job? It's one of the most lucrative jobs in television; the cast regulars make $25k per episode, and head writers must make more.
And also...why is no one talking about Austin Butler hosting last week and how HE killed it, as well?!? The guy's racking up award nominations like M&M's (and well-deserved). So is Baz Luhrmann and other departments on the production team for the entire film.
I am wondering what people thought about Sam Harris kind of channeling Lil Nas X. The song chorus sounded a bit like the one in Industry Baby and Harris was also wearing bright pink like Nas and the others in his video.

It’s wild that the spam above me is allowed to stay, yet my harmless thread about cursing was quickly deleted.

What is that link supposed to...link to? It just links to the home page for all threads on the Broadway chat board...
