Ex-SNL Stars Talk Recent Changes That Could Influence Kate McKinnon Exit Rumors

The fans have been generally very positive about the current season. Saturday Night LiveBut one question remains constant: Where is Kate McKinnon? The comedian is currently filming for her new movie. Tiger KingShow and will return at some time. The exact date is unknown, but fans have started to talk about the prolonged absence. Interviews with former actors have made it a hot topic. SNL stars.

Ana Gasteyer, Rachel Dratch, and Ana Gasteyer were promoting their upcoming comedy homages to Hallmark movies. A Clusterfunke Christmas when they were asked about Kate McKinnon’s prolonged absence. Dratch stated that she keeps up with Kate McKinnon SNL “family” but neither have any inside knowledge of what’s going on. That being said, Gasteyer talked about one key change that has happened more recently behind the scenes on the show, and I think it’s an important point when thinking about McKinnon’s future. Here’s what she told US Weekly

People can just kind of move and come back. And so I don’t see any reason why someone like Kate would leave unless she had something else she wanted to go do, because if you can kind of hop in and out, that’s the ideal reality.

For most of the show’s run under creator Lorne Michaels, if you were a cast member on the show, your first commitment was required to be to the show. That’s why so many people over the years have left after getting offers to film a movie that would overlap with production. That’s not the case anymore. It’s not publically known what the exact rules are about how long you can be absent for or how the agreements work, but Michaels is reportedly much more open now to Not Ready For Primetime Players leaving for limited stretches.

Kenan Thompson was one example. He flew back-and-forth between New York City and Los Angeles for a lot of time last season in order to complete both. SNLAnd his sitcom KenanThis included Chris Redd as co-star. This is a common process. Stand-in required during rehearsals. Aidy Bryant is one of many cast members who have had great success while still being a part of the show. For her role in the charming and honest “The Good Doctor”, she was recently nominated for an Emmy. Shrill.

We likely won’t know what’s going on with Kate McKinnon until the end of the Saturday Night LiveSeason or well into the summer. Sometimes cast members don’t even announce they’re leaving the show until right before the new season. In the near future, I would expect to see Kate McKinnon sooner rather than later, and I’d expect, when that happens, for there to be an explosion of support and excitement on Twitter. It’s basically a guarantee at this point that any episode she doesn’t appear in will result in a Stream of tweets from fans wondering where she’s at. So, you’d have to expect a return to produce a much more heightened response.

As for whether she’ll leave or not after the season, I don’t know. Many people love what they do. Saturday Night Live. There’s nothing quite like the excitement and pressure of live television, which McKinnon talked about in her decision to return this season with The Hollywood Reporter

I’m going to Australia [for three months] to shoot something now, and so I’ll see what it’s like to come back. But in the past, it’s just a beautiful counterpoint to every other thing. I love working in other venues, and then I love coming back to a family and to the immediacy of thinking of something on a Tuesday and shooting it and airing it a few days later — there’s just nothing else like it.

Kate McKinnon is a delight to watch Saturday Night Live. She is a great fit for the show because of her sense of humor and willingness and ability to take on any role. Whenever she leaves, it’ll be really sad to see her go. However, the best thing about it is SNL is there’s always new talent waiting for their next opportunity. More have gotten their chance with her prolonged absence at the beginning of this season, and it’ll be fantastic to see her play off them when she returns.
