SNL CAST CHANGES 2018 UPDATE

Starting with the Decemepisode, hosted by comedian and actor Kevin Hart, with musical guest Foo Fighters, Weekend Update anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che were named head writers of the show, alongside Bryan Tucker and Kent Sublette (though Tucker, who had been head writer since March 2014, resigned as head writer at the end of the season). With his return, Kenan Thompson surpassed Darrell Hammond's record as the longest-tenured cast member in the show's history, with a total of fifteen seasons compared to Hammond's fourteen seasons from 1995- 2009. In response to all these changes, executive producer Lorne Michaels called this season a 'transition year'. With this announcement came the confirmation that the rest of the cast from the previous season would return, including frequent host Alec Baldwin in his role as President Donald Trump. Much of the season's content centered around the 2016. The season reduced ads by 30, removing two commercial breaks to increase episode content. Mikey Day, Alex Moffat and Melissa Villaseñor continued as featured players until they were upgraded to repertory status in the following season. Season 42 of Saturday Night Live premiered on October 1, 2016, with host Margot Robbie and musical guest The Weeknd and concluded on May 20, 2017, with host Dwayne Johnson and musical guest Katy Perry, ending with 21 episodes and 3 specials. This is the first season for Gardner and Redd as cast members, and the only season for Null, who was let go after the season's end. Redd had been incorrectly reported as joining the cast during the previous season.

He became a pop culture sensation in 2018 when he began dating, and eventually got engaged to. Following Moynihan, Bayer, and Zamata's departures, the show hired three new featured players: comedian and writer Heidi Gardner of The Groundlings, iO Chicago alum Luke Null, and stand-up comedian Chris Redd, who previously did sketch comedy at Second City.
