Dropping the name "Chris Elliot" might work though.

She's cute, but not even the cutest of the current cast.

Nasim Pedrad

Charlie Goose

She's one of the dogs to which I was referring. Mary Gross was cuter.

He's already starred in a couple of recent movies, Hall Pass, Horrible Bosses, Good Old Fashioned Orgy. I'd like to see him try one on his own, rather than second fiddle or group. Maybe he can be like Chevy Chase.

My Other Self

I totally agree with you, I like Sudekis. To me he's just not star material, though.

Technically speaking, Sarah Silverman is a horse. A Jewish horse.

Mr. Cinema

I hope she doesn't leave. I want more "Bein' Quirky With Zooey Deschanel" sketches.

Ben Fox is my Manny?

madcougar

That title would go to Julia Louis Dreyfus.

JeffTheAlpaca

Maybe when she did Drew Barrymore

Tina Fey and Poehler were no dogs

Dr. DVD

Who was her dad?

I hope she doesn't leave, she's easy on the eyes even when her sketches are falling flat. I would be wary about leaving for anything on Fox, as they have a tendency to green light series then pull them after less than a month. Also, most of their live action comedy series blow chunks.

Goldberg74

Her dad is Chris Elliot (of Cabin Boy and Get A Life fame).

TheBang

She was let go after the season ended in May 2009. Happy Endings started in Spring 2011 (but probably filmed in fall 2010).

Actually, not counting Seth, Fred Armisen and Keenan Thompson have been there the longest, at 10 and 9 seasons, respectively. Sudekis and Samberg (and Hader and Wiig) are on their 7th season.

I kind of miss the days when they would have a big cast purge every 5 years, up until 1995.

I'd like to see her get her own show. I think Lorne Michaels has the actors sign a contract that will allow him to offer them sitcoms, but I don't think another network/production company's sitcom would count toward that. So if she left, I don't see her coming back, especially as her usual role as background lady #2 in skits.

kefrank

Wow, I like some of those folks, but I think it's time for a cast refresh. And it's definitely time for a writer refresh. The writing has just been brutal the last few years.

wz42

Gulp...I think I know what scared my penis. They have exactly the same eyes.

Finisher

Well, that went well (she's off the new show before it started and probably back to SNL).

Drexl

So, is it Ned Fox or Ben Fox? In the OP, it was mentioned that it's based on a writer's brother, using his name. Was the real Ben Fox not happy about it?

devilshalo

Will always remember the episode they had her, JLD and was it Robin Duke in the Playboy pictorial skit.

JeffTheAlpaca

Thank god

Now we can see her again every other week in one of the throw away sketches that air after 12:30am

My Other Self

I'm surprised Fox turned away someone who was committed to one of their situation comedies. It's not like this thing will get a full-season order.

joe_b

Last I checked, doing commercials for Zaxby's.

windom

I didn't want to create a new thread, but reportedly Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg and Jason Sudeikis are all leaving SNL at the end of this season.

pinata242

I will not miss Wiig in 90% of her appearances. For every Real Housewives of Disney, there are 9 self-satisfying sketches of hers.

Samberg's been absent for a while, really, even the digital shorts seemed few and far between.

Sudeikis is a HUGE loss for me. What Up With That just lost most of its appeal with his red jumpsuit.
