Cecily Strong reveals it’s ‘hard’ for her to watch ‘SNL’ after exit
Andy Cohen’s “Watch What Happens Live” earlier this week where she admitted that it’s “hard for me to watch the show right now.”Strong was part of the cast of the long-running NBC sketch series for 11 seasons and announced her departure in December 2022.The Bravo host, 54, compared the comedy show to being an “ex-boyfriend,” and Strong couldn’t help but agree.“It was just such a big part of my life and there’s so many people I love there, so I feel like I would just be in a swamp of sadness, just my heart would break,” she said. “I’ve got to keep my distance,” Strong sighed.Cohen then asked her if she would ever return to host the show in the near future.“What did you think about Molly Shannon hosting ‘SNL’ last weekend and has there been any talks of you coming in and hosting as well?” the talk show emcee said about Shannon, 58, who was a cast member on “SNL” from 1995 to 2001 and guest-hosted the April 8 episode.“There’s no talks of me hosting,” Strong replied.However, she confirmed that she would be appearing in the series’ 50th anniversary in the foreseeable future.“SNL” is currently almost through its 48th season.In December 2022, Strong revealed she was leaving “SNL,” after being with the cast for 10 years.

'Saturday Night Live' Kicks Off Season 48 With Help from Miles Teller and Jon Hamm After Cast Shake-Up
has undergone a lot of retooling over the summer — with a lot of castmembers exiting the show and four new actors signing on. So they made sure to address the slew of differences with a self-referential cold-open featuring the night's host,Miles Teller.Teller played Payton Manning, joined by his brother Eli Manning (Andrew Dismukes), as they live-commented on the cold-open sketch, and brutally criticized the sketch.The bit got even more meta when Jon Hamm joined Payton and Eli as a special guest commentator and all three of them got in on the fun of making fun of the cast's gaffes in the sketch-within-a-sketch.At one point, Shawn White showed up for a one-line cameo and Hamm joked, «Well, you know, sometimes they need to bring in a real celebrity when the host isn't that famous… I mean, they couldn't get the star of the big summer movie, like, Tom Cruise or John Hamm, they had to get the costar.»Payton (again, played by Teller, the night's host) indignantly replied, «Well, I heard they rarely put the hosts in cold open, so when they do, it is special.»«Special? Or is it desperate?» Hamm shot back.By using the sketch-within-a-sketch conceit, the show managed to not only poke fun at themselves, they got a chance to introduce all the new castmembers while also ingratiating themselves to new audiences with a bit of self-deprecation.Now only time will tell how the new, remarkably smaller cast will gel over the course of the season.
