Saturday 11:30 PM on NBCIn Season
I also think that with the departure of Wiig and Sandberg, we will see a lot of sketches that put the remaining cast at the helm. Probably sketches that haven't been see for quite some time, but have been resurrected due to this timing. Hopefully more what up with that? if Jason stays!
I really hope Kate McKinnon is brought back. She made a great impression on me in her few episodes she appeared. Then again so did Jenny Slate, and they got rid of her foolishly. I hope to see more from Bobby this season too, he is hilarious and hopefully will now be able to get featured more. I also hope we get some more Snooki from him. I also agree that WU needs either a female co-host for Seth or needs two new host all together.Seth and Nasim would be great or have a double female team again and have Nasim and Kate.

I'm not worried about Miss Berthold (look it up); we're not looking at the lesbian Morwenna Banks. As for Update, Seth apparently doesn't want a co-anchor, and as far as I'm concerned he doesn't need one. |

Perhaps there will be two new anchors on WU if Seth replaces Regis on Live!as news reports have indicated he is a front runner for. But there are also reports that he would continue as WU anchor and just stop being head writer.

I've always wondered how Seth might leave the show considering he's not your average cast member. He was never exactly going to leave for a big film career but hosting Live! could be the most unusual departure for a cast member.

The only person who thinks that Seth can do both Live and Update is Seth.
So, who's going to replace him? I would guess Bill & Nasim, except that Bill has such a heavy sketch-load most shows.

I don't think it's THAT unusual. Ex-writer & extra Conan O'Brien & that mediocre Jimmy Fallon both have talk shows. What irks me if that Seth's ego is so big that he has to do two shows at once; and both shows are live, too. Good luck working at 10am & midnight into your sleep routine. Time to leave, Seth. Everybody has to leave some time & you're no exception. *cue to clip of Seth clenching to the WU desk screaming while somebody off-camera is trying to pull him off it* |
Well, that's the end of the speculation. Seth is staying. http://splitsider.com/2012/07/seth-meyers-thoroughly-shoots-down-regis-replacement-rumors/
Hardly. Read the quote carefully for spin-waffling: " But, right now, what I would say to you: I'm really in love with the job I have." Well "right now" they haven't offered him the co-hosting job yet. When they do, it'll be, "I love SNL but this is an opportunity that I can't pass up..."
Also, he wants to maximize his negotiating position by emphasizing that he doesn't need to take the Live job (because he can continue on SNL.) Seth probably wants a say in how the show is run. Smart talk show hosts do, because the show has to fit the host in order to really work. Look at how they've tuned Late Night to fit Jimmy's style and personality. The producers of Live probably want to hire Seth as trained-seal talent, and he's pushing back on that.
He'll take it if it's offered. He'd be a fool not to.

Translation: Apparently they didn't love Seth as much as Seth loves himself. |

That's a weird thing to say. The producers of a show like Live wouldn't have put so much airtime into road-testing Seth as a host unless they had strong assurances from him and his agent that Seth would take the job if it were offered. I can see two scenarios behind this:
--They've offered Seth the co-host chair but he's holding out for a better deal. Thus Seth's denial ("I couldn't possibly leave SNL, I love it so much") translates as, "I have options and Strahan and Groban are jokes: give me the deal I want." Kelly, fronting for the show, is responding, "We love you, but not that much. We can keep looking for a co-host, plus I am going to be the queen of the roost on Live, not you."
--They've already made a deal but Lorne, always wanting to control SNL casting announcements, is asking them to wait. Possibly he still has some contractual leverage. So Seth and the team at Live are playing down expectations until everyone is ready to make the formal announcement.
You made me go watch the Ripa interview. She's busting Seth's chops when she says that he's not ready to host Live. She's not serious. Maybe Seth's not ready to work with her though. Can you imagine getting really early every morning just to listen to her jabber?

It's halfway through July and no news about Jason leaving. Only one starring role in pre-production according to IMDB. I'd say the chances are 75%+ that he's coming back for another full season.
