Will Stiller’s “Tower Heist” co-star Eddie Murphy make tonight his first SNL appearance since 1984?
Word is Kristin Wiig, who co-wrote and starred in last May’s “Bridesmaids,” the highest-grossing Judd Apatow comedy ever, is rumored to be leaving SNL after this season. She joined the cast Nov. 12, 2005, when the cast still included Finesse Mitchell, Chris Parnell and Rachel Dratch.
The same rumors say Jason Sudeikis, who starred in a bit hit called “Horrible Bosses,” is leaving SNL at season’s end as well. He started way back on Oct. 4, 2003, when Jeff Richards and Tina Fey were still in the cast.
My favorite sketch from last week:
And an “Independence Day” sketch from 1996, so talkbackers can debate whether SNL stopped being funny before or after this episode:
Next week: Anna Faris and Drake.
