It looks like Saturday Night Live didn’t hire two new women to increase the female presence on the show, but rather to maintain the current balance. Casey Wilson and Michaela Watkins were let go from the cast and will not appear in the upcoming season, with the exception of any digital shorts they may have filmed.
Casey Wilson and Michaela Watkins rarely appeared on the show, except maybe as female friend #2 or crowd member #1. Were they not funny, or just not given the chance to shine? Let this be a lesson to you, new girls!
This means no more “bitch, pleeze!” segments on Weekend Update, which makes me sad because it’s essentially my life.
