Kristen, Andy & Jason to Leave Saturday Night Live




Two sources tell the new Us Weekly (on stands Friday) that several key Saturday Night Live players are following in the footsteps of SNL alums Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and ready to move on.

"Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg and Jason Sudeikis are all leaving after the end of the season," says one insider. "It will be a huge blow to the show. Without Andy's video shorts and Kristen saving every skit, they'll need help!"

And though a rep for Wiig, 38, and Sudeikis, 36, refutes this -- telling Us, "No decisions are made until the season is over" -- an insider says the timing is right, especially for the Bridesmaids star.

"Kristen was talking about leaving a while ago," says a Wiig pal. "With her movie success, it's no surprise."

Meanwhile, Sudeikis has a new movie in the works, Relanxious, where he will star opposite his real-life love Olivia Wilde. In the flick (which also features SNL pal Fred Armisen) Sudeikis will play an agoraphobic looking for love.

RIP SNL :(

Should they attempt to start off fresh with almost all new talent? Or would that be too risky?

bite your tongue. That show would be nothing without Bill Hader.

There are 8239492349 writers looking for jobs. They should just fire the whole team and find some new awesome people

They need to shake up the writing staff. Also, I don't mind Seth behind the Weekend Update desk, but he needs someone to join him -- he is 100xs better when he has someone to play off of.

LMAO Seth is the head writer.

I know this. And that's obviously not changing.

But there are other writers too.

Fire Seth Meyers. Or get him a co-anchor and/or a co-head writer.

Better yet, just put Bill Hader in everything.
