I have missed Colin, Che, Marcello, Mikey and Bowen.
I would love to see Davidson make a cameo sometime this season too!

How was last night's? Ariana Grande was on.

She was radio silent following her departure, right? I wonder if she signed a NDR?

She resurfaced on the Monday Night Football Manning Cast, so she seems okay.

You say woke like it’s an insult. It’s not.

Wonder if the show will still be entertaining due to the absence of Heidi Gardner.
I also heard that Ego had left but that could have been just a rumour…..(I hope it was!)

I will miss Devon (who will now fill the Pete Davidson void?) and that funny Middle Eastern guy who only did one season - - those two not only added great diversity to the show but were hugely talented overall.

That boring, plain Nepo girl that was brought on last season should never have been given another season.
No shade to her but I feel like she should have been let go and ANYone else taken her place.

Ego is indeed gone. ☹️

Really???

Noooo!

So sad, she was the best

I am surprised that Ego was canned because she had an especially great season last season.

Like her bits on the Weekend Update plus her character from Temecula.

Her void was felt definitely last night during all the dumb skits.

I don’t think she was canned, I believe she left on her own.

I confess I had to look up Ego since I didn't know the name, but I definitely know the face. She's iconic. What a loss.

I really would like to know the back story there. Of course she may have left for better opportunities, but without a show or movie on the horizon, that would seem unusual. (Usually they do some stuff off season to build that up before leaving.) So it sort of feels like she had a falling out with someone at the show about something....really unfortunate because I think she was one of their most talented comedians, along with Bowen and Marcello. Just great timing and the kind of person who can take even mediocre writing and make it funny with the delivery.

BB had been on before as the musical guest but NBC likely figured they could get more viewership because of his name. And see!? We watched - maybe we didn't love it, but we are talking about it. I didn't even realize it was new this week but it's in my YT feed.

SNL doesn't expect people to watch the episodes. They have it on Peacock and they have a Youtube Channel where you can watch the individual skits. The ones that are not popular end up at the bottom and may even get removed?

I am expecting the next weeks' guests are actually actors or comedians and not "just" musicians with limited stage presence.
