While two new female cast members are being added to the SNL family this season, two from last season, Casey Wilson and Michaela Watkins were let go. EW interviewed Watkins to find out exactly why. I thought that they were great additions, although neither I thought had the immediate star power of say, Andy Samberg or Kristin Wiig.What was Lorne Michaels thinking?
MICHAELA WATKINS: I don’t think anyone knows what Lorne Michaels was thinking. That’s one of the exciting things about him. If he were to vanish the show would just freeze. Not a single thing would be shot because so much hinges on him.
What explanation did he give you?
WATKINS: The only explanation I got from him — and he’s not known to say things just to make people feel better — was that he felt deep down that I should have my own show. And I agreed. SNL was a dream come true for me. It was a fantastic year. I don’t have any regrets.
Can't wait for SNL's season opener!
