SNL gets an impressive 17 nominations and well deserved, but I’m wondering how they’ll do next season with all of the main cast having already departed the show – Seth Meyers will be leaving by the end of the year for his new talk show gig. I can only hope Justin Timberlake will comeback and do another Christmas episode…maybe we can get a follow-up to D**K In Box? And going head to head for Lead Actress in a Comdey Series are BFFs Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
Kudos to all the nominees! Good Luck!
