    After rumors that Andy Samberg, Kristen Wiig, and Jason Sudeikis are but a month away from their last Saturday Night Live appearance, who will take over the SNL spotlight? Based on Saturday’s episode, here’s who we think will have the balance of power next season–in descending order of power!









  • Back Forward Taran Killam

    His impersonations of Andy Cohen and Michael Cera—too impressionistic, really, to be properly termed “impressions”—were highlighted in two strong sketches.

  • Back Forward Bobby Moynihan

    He was the only person to appear in character as an interview subject on Weekend Update—and not because the rest of the show was so full of amazing stuff.

  • Back Forward Abby Elliott

    Though she’s been rumored to be looking for roles in a fall pilot, Ms. Elliott led off the show with her Zooey Deschanel sketch.

  • Back Forward Bill Hader and Fred Armisen

    Both great, as ever—and Mr. Armisen was at the center of a couple of sketches. But are these long-serving gents the future of the show?

  • Back Forward Kate McKinnon

    This new featured player made a surprisingly big impression by playing an accent-challenged Penelope Cruz. Perhaps she can stick it out!

  • Back Forward The 'SNL' bookers

    From this week’s cuecard-hampered Sofia Vergara to next week’s Josh Brolin, they’ve lined up the sharpest comic talents in America to host!
