SNL Treated Aristotle Athari Unfairly
NBC Makes Another Bad Decision
NBC is known for making bad or weird decisions. The network has struggled with its Olympics coverage for years. I’m still bitter over the mishandling of Community and the way Conan was treated. Sometimes the network sides with what I consider lesser talent or lowest common denominator ideas.
I’m not happy with Peacock, and I refuse to pay $10 a month for the ad-free version. I was perfectly fine with NBC sitcoms on Hulu and Netflix. Peacock is just a money-grabbing streaming service that’s unnecessary. I’m hoping it fails, so the content I like goes back to the streaming services I trust.
SNL Says Goodbye to Eight Cast Members
SNL went through a rather bizarre shakeup before its 48th season. Eight people left, and there is no telling whether people left on their own or got pushed out. I assume Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney, and Pete Davidson left on good terms because they had farewell numbers at the end of season 47.
Four other cast members left before season 48 started. Chris Redd won an Emmy while on SNL; we can safely assume his career will be fine. Alex Moffat also left, which is sad because he was really hitting his stride last season (especially on Weekend Update).
