SNL adds 3 new featured players


Five days before the season premiere of its 38th season, Saturday Night Live announced a trio of newcomers who will fill out the cast after Kristin Wiig, Andy Samberg, and Abby Elliott departed the show. Aidy Bryant, Tim Robinson and Cecily Strong will be the new featured players when Seth MacFarlane and Frank Ocean headline this weekend. All three are veterans of the Chicago improv scene, including The Second City, fertile recruiting ground for the show since the days of John Belushi and Bill Murray.



Watch clips of all three under the cut:

Bryant


Robinson


Strong

sparkysparky 11th-Sep-2012 05:34 pm (UTC)
Pretty sure they saw her and had stars in their eyes for all the Adele parodies they'll be able to do now.
pansylove 10th-Sep-2012 04:01 pm (UTC)
I'm happy that they're all from the Chicago improv scene. So there's something.

I went to high school with Aidy Bryant. She was mean to me.
luvthatdrtywata 10th-Sep-2012 04:20 pm (UTC)
imma need more deets!!!
emotion_adri 10th-Sep-2012 04:35 pm (UTC)
We went to an all girls school and it got real bitchy sometimes. She got through it by being the "funny fat girl". But if anyone one else around her was making people laugh for any reason, she got mad. My friends and I were always being silly and she didn't like it. She was really rude to us.

Here's the scoop, ONTD. A group of friends and I decided it would be funny to preform the Afternoon Delight scene from Anchorman during our senior retreat which just happened to be held in a church. Aidy Bryant was such a douche nozzle that she complained to the school administration that she found it sacrilegious and offensive. Because of her, we almost didn't get to walk at out high school graduation. We all had to formally apologize for the event.
luvthatdrtywata 10th-Sep-2012 05:10 pm (UTC)
she sounds awful. the only thing i will say is that most people end up really differently after high school. some don't. she may very well still be a bitch but a lot of the time people, especially those with weight problems, we tend to be on the defensive a lot when we are younger. i did a lot of fucked up shit to people in high school and i wish i could go back and know what i know now. do you know if anyone still knows her now and if she is still a beyotch?
bananasnrum 10th-Sep-2012 10:40 pm (UTC)
lol I didn't know her well but she lived in my dorm. I have friends who were friends with her and she was part of the same Project Runway night get together crew I was in.
galagooo 10th-Sep-2012 04:03 pm (UTC)
The first clip (short squeeze) wasn't funny.
the_landlady 10th-Sep-2012 04:11 pm (UTC)
At first I thought it just wasn't my type of humor, but yeah, it wasn't funny at all...
chuk_is_dazzled 10th-Sep-2012 05:00 pm (UTC)
ia gurl was trying real hard but she just wasnt cutting it
tink_1326 11th-Sep-2012 12:38 am (UTC)
I didn't laugh once, so she'll fit right in at SNL.
duckyduck92 10th-Sep-2012 04:04 pm (UTC)
Omg they are allowing a woman of size on the show? I'm kinda shocked.
treebraids 10th-Sep-2012 04:19 pm (UTC)
woman of size....WTF?
jessepinkman 10th-Sep-2012 04:20 pm (UTC)
i guffawed
duckyduck92 10th-Sep-2012 05:03 pm (UTC)
In my women and gender studies class we had a guest lecturer who came in and said instead of calling her fat or other women like her fat, she and other prefer the " . . . of size" wording. That is why I used it.
june17 10th-Sep-2012 08:02 pm (UTC)
Give her a break, she's just trying to be empowering, whether or not it came off that way.
luvthatdrtywata 10th-Sep-2012 04:32 pm (UTC)
i prefer "woman of substance"
goldengal1193 10th-Sep-2012 04:39 pm (UTC)
dead at "woman of size". The hell.

lizzka 10th-Sep-2012 04:48 pm (UTC)
all women have a size?

she's fat. nothing wrong with saying it.

i want to be stoked, but i reserve excitement until the show allows her to be in sketches that aren't solely based on weight jokes.
orangeandblack 10th-Sep-2012 04:54 pm (UTC)
For now.
mhfromnh 10th-Sep-2012 04:59 pm (UTC)
woman of bigness.

cherrybombx 10th-Sep-2012 05:28 pm (UTC)
there's a difference between being pc and just plain condescending.
stellawuzadiver 10th-Sep-2012 06:10 pm (UTC)
For a while.
oh7 10th-Sep-2012 06:27 pm (UTC)
LOL at "woman of size".
of_secret_rooms 11th-Sep-2012 01:56 am (UTC)
I'm confused by how many people are reacting to this "of size" term like you came up with it yourself. I've seen yoga classes advertised at my college called "Gentle Yoga for People of Size" for years.

If someone specifically tells you that they prefer a certain term, the respectful thing to do is to use that term, not to totally ignore them and say "No, that's dumb, I'll just call you fat."
honeebs 10th-Sep-2012 04:04 pm (UTC)
I like Strong, I don't like the others.
ecrivais 10th-Sep-2012 04:05 pm (UTC)

I wonder how many lines Jay will have this year lol
stussytribe 10th-Sep-2012 04:34 pm (UTC)
he'll have plenty & they'll all be parodies of will smith
mankini 11th-Sep-2012 07:40 pm (UTC)
Not enough. I felt bad for him when that new girl came in toward the end of the last season and was used at least twice every show; meanwhile, Jay rarely registers. And I think he's one of their most talented.
bluebandit77 10th-Sep-2012 04:08 pm (UTC)
why no asians either?
misoras 10th-Sep-2012 04:14 pm (UTC)
nasim pedrad is iranian
bluebandit77 10th-Sep-2012 04:19 pm (UTC)
sorry i didn't mean west asia.

and i think she prefers persian tbh
warriorholmes 10th-Sep-2012 04:27 pm (UTC)
Ifkr -_-
milkradio 10th-Sep-2012 08:20 pm (UTC)
Yeah, SNL really needs to diversify their cast.
rainbowtomatoe 10th-Sep-2012 04:09 pm (UTC)
so when are we gonna get some asians on this show.....
