SNL has not renewed the contracts of Michaela Watkins and Casey Wilson, but are adding two new actresses -- Jenny Slate and Nasim Pedrad.
Wilson was only on the show for one season and Watkins didn't even make it that long -- she was hired after Amy Poehler left the show.
Watkins spoke with the New York Times about her exit:
"My contract was up — it expired on July 15, which is normally when people are renewed. Mine wasn’t renewed, but I was not definitively let go."
Jenny Slate and Nasim Pedrad come from comedy troupe the Upright Citizens Brigade, as did Casey Wilson. Some Upright alumni who made it to SNL include Poehler (one of the founders), Bobby Moynihan, Horatio Sanz, Jerry Minor and Rob Riggle.
Guess we won't be getting any more updates from Angie Tempura:
