Meet the 3 Actors Reportedly Joining Saturday Night Live This Season

Nice to see SNL tapping the pulse of comedy and America by hiring more young, white, non-threaten, central casting mopes.
What's it gonna take to get some color on this show?
Can someone please start a Facebook campaign to get Jessi Klein to co-anchor weekend update? They would have saved a lot more money by getting rid of Seth Meyers rather than Will Forte. At least MacGruber was funny(the sketches, not the movie)
Fine, so he can do impressions. Just give me back my Michaela Watkins
Hmmm....whatever. I will continue to DVR SNL (when I remember to) and speed through the unfunny stuff and all the ads after the first half hour (meaning I watch about 35 mins of the show and the musical guest, if they are any good). I'm far out of the target demo of 18-year-olds who keep this show alive.
I think its very important - at least to me. Being physically fit helps me feel sexier - which makes it better for my partner.
