Jenny Slate Is Lowered onto the SNL Chopping Block

Casting changes are apparently not yet complete for Saturday Night Live's 36th season, alleges Deadline this morning. The current cast member whose fate hangs in the balance is reportedly Jenny Slate, the Brooklyn comedian best known for her Hoda Kotb impression, Tina-Tina Cheneuse sketches, and accidental use of an expletive during her first season. Second-generation cast member Abby Elliott is supposedly being asked to return for another season after her fate also hung in "serious jeopardy." [Deadline]
