New Comic to Anchor ‘Update’ on ‘S.N.L.’

The new season of “Saturday Night Live” will have a significant change in its cast and its most prominent segment, “Weekend Update.”

Michael Che, a comic perhaps best known for his role as a correspondent on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” will replace Cecily Strong, who will remain on “S.N.L.” as a regular cast member.

After trying out what he said were “a number of different combinations” in the last few weeks, Lorne Michaels, the show’s creator and executive producer, said he had selected Mr. Che, 31, who worked on the show last season as a writer, to be the partner of Colin Jost, who began co-anchoring “Weekend Update” in the middle of last season.

COLIN IS THE WORST. CECILY WAS THE ONLY GOOD PART OF WU POST-SETH. **** YOU LORNE. A BIG GIANT **** YOU.

Ugh. He should be replacing Colin not Cecily.

****ing idiots. Everyone hates Colin. Cecily is like one of their best 3 castmembers and singlehandedly made WU watchable. I'm super pissed.

If the premiere wasn't Chris/Ari I would boycott.

I'm pissed about this, but the rumor is that Cecily wanted to opt out of Weekend Update, so she could participate in more sketches. This still sucks though

99% sure it's all for PR. Why bash the show shes still on unless she wanted to make enemies with her bosses? We'll find out the truth down the line when she's moved on from the show.

I'm going to need Ariana to make fun of her alleged Diva behavior. Put those comic acting skills she learned from Nick to use for her one skit that they will give her.

[Lee!!]

I'd be shocked if Ariana showed up in a sketch tonight. She'll likely perform and bounce
