I apparently did not look deep enough into the Wickline family bloodline.

 

Devon’s post from the other day seems to be a bit more of relief. Reading that, Emil’s message and just taking in the songs from Andy Samberg and Adam Sandler about the anxiety and everything SNL causes and all you can do is hope Lorne retires soon and someone else can make it a healthier process for the cast.

 

I don't know if it's possible to completely remove the toxicity (SOAD voice) of SNL, like there can be less competition but people are still gonna be writing sketches until 3 am and going to sleep at 5 am on show days

 

That’s true. There is a nature of the beast aspect to it, but also Lorne just has an accepted cruelty to the way he does things that just kind of sucks.

 

Yeah it’s hard to tell how much of it is encouraged vs simply unregulated. But at this point people will work that way on the show no matter what because we have a half century of world famous celebrities telling us that they did it and that it’s just what it means to work on SNL. As awful as it sounds to work there, there are probably thousands of writers and performers out there who view it as a badge of honor and would do whatever it takes to leave their stamp. Having that mentality anywhere within the staff will always inevitably leave less room for those wanting a healthier work life

 

For sure. I mean, it’s celebrated. As said, the songs by Samberg and Sandler at the 50th, plus the never-ending praise for Lorne show it’s not gonna change easily. It just sucks because it’s mostly an old rich man’s old-timey way of doing things.

 

Totally. And also as stated before, there were probably a lot more helpful… substances being passed around once upon a time than there are now haha

 

I would be so good at doing SNL

 

Lisa Gilroy would show up and you would quit on the spot.

 

i love that someone noticed this (because i didn't)

 

Definitely did. They seemingly always have trouble with POC that aren’t immediately Lorne’s favorites.

 

wow

 

Wow indeed. Surprised on that one.

 

So much for taking over Update

 

Whoa

 

didn't they literally just screentest him on update? or did i dream that

 

I swear to god if update is the same I’m gonna riot

 

Wtf

 

Yeah I wonder if they’re keeping Che and Jost and he was just over it?

 

Yeah they did…that’s what the article from LateNighter said.

 

Maybe the test went badly...

 

Thread is like a fucked up advent calendar rn

 

i love her haha

 

It was just recently reported that he did but the article said it was done "last may"

 

just makes no sense to me that so many of these cast members are due to leave and yet we're dumping people who've gotten max 3 seasons and barely any chance to shine. broken system.

yes i am still mad about chloe troast
