I know he gets a lot of love on social media, but compared to Pete or Kate? He's getting more time on the show but again not at the expense of the power trio of Kate, Aidy, and Cecily. Chris Redd's exposure on the show has also increased a lot. Bowen reminds me of Chloe in that I feel like there have been periods when she gets far more focus in the media than she has in the show itself. Bowen was not getting a lot to do for the first half or more of the season before starting to get more focus in the last few months. 1 Link to comment
Pete Martell May 12, 2022 Share May 12, 2022 Not sure where to put this, but Andrew Dismukes put on social media that he has tested positive for COVID. So he will presumably miss this week and maybe next week as well. Not sure if this will affect the show, similar to the December shutdown. I saw that they tweeted a photo of the readthrough earlier today. 2 Link to comment

She sang My Way. Sure sounded like a good note to go out on. In fact, Aidy, Kate, Cecily and Keenan together in the cold open, seemed a little nostalgic. They got the biggest cheer from the audience and were the most emotional about reminiscing. All I could think is that I sure hope that they don't all leave at once. https://deadline.com/2021/05/pete-davidson-kate-mckinnon-cecily-strong-aidy-bryant-kenan-thompson-saturday-night-live-exit-speculation-colin-jost-season-46-finale-1234762519/ Chloe and Heidi playing the Olsen twins on the Hollywood Squares sketch was perfect, as I consider them a little too similar and interchangeable (I do prefer Fineman to Gardner, even though the producers were at one time shoving Heidi into every possible sketch that they could while Aidy and Cecily were off filming other projects). Heidi's WU ditzy teen characters make me want to stick cocktail forks in my eyeballs. As far as promotions from "featured cast" to "regular cast," I'd like to see Bowen Yang and Fineman get that call. Now Kyle Mooney could leave and I wouldn't notice, or care. He sucks the funny out of every bit he's in. Bowen AND Chloe ARE Regular Cat Members This Season Which Is 2021-2022 ! ! Link to comment
Pete Martell May 14, 2022 Share May 14, 2022 Michael Che gave an interview out yesterday where he said he's thought a number of times over the last five years about leaving. Lorne makes some of the usual oblique Lorne comments about "change." I am curious to find out how many are actually going, if the exodus will be bigger than expected or if Lorne will manage to kick the can down the road one more season. I think Kyle, Pete and Melissa are gone, after that is a blur, but I'm guessing at least one of Kate/Cecily/Aidy. I'm 50/50 on Jost and Che. 1 Link to comment

In Colin Jost's memoir 'A very punchable face' he was talking about SNL and how it wasn't great for people with families. I got the impression that if it hadn't been for Covid, he might have left by now. Now that he has a young kid, I'd say he might be leaving sooner rather than later. 1 1 Link to comment
Pete Martell May 21, 2022 Share May 21, 2022 To carry over from @vb68 in the media thread: I am hoping Che and Jost leave, because I think 8 years (8 and a half for Jost) is a run where you get all you can from the personalities behind the desk, and I don't want them to become played out. We haven't heard anything, which makes me think they probably will stay as I don't think Lorne would want to change the desk without a big goodbye, but we'll see. As for replacements, I think Punkie or Punkie and Andrew, or Alex and Ego, might be a good pick. If they keep going to the writing room, I've seen some fans talk about Rosebud Baker. As for other potential departures: - Cecily has said with regard to leaving that she would like to go quietly. As she had a goodbye last season, I do wonder if Lorne asked her to not talk about her departure until the summer (Andy Samberg said recently Lorne asked him to keep quiet about his departure). I could go either way as of the three ladies Cecily was the one who felt most integrated into the cast, so maybe she does plan to stay. - Melissa vented a bit on social media this season (nowhere near as much as she did last season). She has had two pieces get on in the last four episodes of the season, which is a lot more than she had last year - they were also two pieces that were very personal to her. I'm torn between thinking she told them she was going and they let her have these as a thank you/goodbye, or that she isn't leaving. - Aristotle...we've talk about that one quite a bit already. - Punkie. I think she's done enough this season to come back, and the last person to be featured for two seasons and not join the main cast was Dean Edwards 20 years ago, I suppose it depends on whether NBC wants a big budget cull, as I imagine Punkie, along with Melissa, Aristotle, and probably Alex, would be on that list. 2 Link to comment

Pete Martell May 21, 2022 Share May 21, 2022 I don't think she's ever going to get that type of piece through. For one of the first episodes this season she had a bloody surgery sketch which supposedly got a bad dress rehearsal response and didn't even finish. 1 Link to comment
Ms Blue Jay May 21, 2022 Share May 21, 2022 They used to do those vomiting sketches in the 90s and 2000s and I hated them so much then too. 7 Link to comment
Irlandesa May 21, 2022 Share May 21, 2022 (edited) They've already done a bloody sketch that I can't see them topping. I hate bodily fluid skits too but this was perfect. However, it wasn't live; it was recorded. Edited May 22, 2022 by Irlandesa 4 6 Link to comment

Pete Martell May 24, 2022 Share May 24, 2022 @Ms Blue Jay There was some controversy over this at the start of the season, with some people claiming their being hired by SNL was nepotism. I wonder if that's why they weren't in the cast. I do think they've proven their gifts this season. They also mention their parents a bit in this new profile: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/saturday-night-live-please-dont-destory-sketches-1235146725/ 1 Link to comment
Ms Blue Jay May 24, 2022 Share May 24, 2022 (edited) Well of course it's nepotism. But Herlihy and Higgins are such big legends on the show that it seems like a no brainer. Remember Abby Elliott? And I don't know if Chris was ever considered a "legend". lol. If someone's terrible on the show, it will become obvious quickly. PDD are not falling into that category, thankfully. My favourite sketch this season off the top of my head was that Oscar Isaac HR sketch, and you said that they wrote it. Pretty amazing! Edited May 24, 2022 by Ms Blue Jay 1 Link to comment

SomeTameGazelle March 12, 2023 Share March 12, 2023 I have been getting along all right recognizing Please Don't Destroy as a collective. The boys look different from each other (Small, Red Hair, Glasses) so I am not normally confused about which one is which as far as appearances go (although in the promo where they each dressed as Wednesday I could not differentiate between Red Hair and Glasses). However sometimes people on the internet will refer to one of them by name and I have no idea which one they mean. How do I associate each one with the correct name? Link to comment
