According to Horatio Sanz post on his Blog he has decided to leave the show after many years of being on the show. This contradicts previous news we have heard from NBC. Either way, Sanz will not be on this season.

Sanz writes:

Hi my Dear fans and friends alike,

I have decided to not return to Saturday Night Live this season. I wish the best to everyone at the show and expect them to have a great season. It's been a wonderful eight years and I am grateful for all the friends I was able to make and all the great people I had the pleasure of working with. I want to give a big thank you to all my fans for your kind comments and well wishes. I look forward to making you laugh in the future, and hopefully not behind the counter at Burger King. Goodnight my dears!

Lineup for Season

Due to budget constraints Lorne Michaels has had to make some choices and cut back some cast members. The choice came down to either cutting back cast members, or airing less than the 20 epodes per season that are aired. Michaels decided to cut back on cast members.

This season will feature: Fred Armisen, Will Forte, Bill Hader, Darrell Hammond, Seth Meyers, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Andy Samberg, Jason Sudeikis, Kenan Thompson, and Kristen Wiig.

Adios Sanz, Parnell and Mitchell

Chileno Actor Hoartio Sanz will has officially been laid off. There have been reports that there is not any bad feelings between Michaels and Sanz, after a dispute between the two.

The announcement came, when NBC released a press release stating who was going to be in the 32nd season. Parnell and Mitchell were also omitted from the list. Sanz joined the SNL cast originally in the 98-99 season.

With five of the current players gone this season (Sanz, Parnell, Mitchell, Fey and Dratch), there are no current plans to replace the faces. We will see some role changes on the SNL stage as actors adapt to the changes and make an effort to fill in the void.

Tina Fey "30 Rock"

Tina Fey who is very well known for her spot on "Weekend Update" on SNL will be starring in a new TV sitcom called "30 Rock". "30 Rock" takes places on a fictional late-night comedy show. Fey says she will pull from her experenice from SNL for the series. Wow, a long strech for Fey.

Well all the actors start somewhere once they leave SNL. Best of luck Tina.

Loren Michaels Govern General Award

Loren Michaels, the executive producer of Saturday Night Live received the Governor General's performing award for lifetime artistic achievement. Michael was born in Toronto and attended the University. He began his career as a writer and broadcaster at the CBC.

Michael said in a phone interview from New York: "It's the country that defined me. It's the country that educated me. It's the country whose values I absorbed."

Season 32, Episode 1

The first episode of SNL will be September 30th, 2006. Dane Cook who will is currently filming Transformers the movie will be hosting. Gnarls Barkley is the musical guest.

Only time will tell how this season of SNL will be and if NBC is able to keep their fans happy. The official Satruday Night Live pages have been updated after years of old pages that had no creativity.

SNL Cast Departures

Thompson, Sanz and Parnell have all been mentioned as being among three cast members being dropped due to budget cuts.
