<p>Last night, <strong>Nikke Finke</strong> reported that <strong>Lorne Michaels</strong> may be fishing around for some <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2012/03/saturday-night-live-to-add-female-player/">new lady talent for <em>Saturday Night Live</em></a>, what with <strong>Kristen Wiig</strong> possibly leaving the show (tired of appearing in every sketch, we assume) along with <strong>Abby Elliott</strong>, who had a Fox show but then it fell through but who knows.</p>
<p>That leaves <strong>Nasim Pedrad</strong> and <strong>Vanessa Bayer</strong> (who is still only a featured actor, which is a step below the regular cast in terms of job security, and a step above <strong>Paul Brittain</strong>, whose whereabouts are still unknown), as the only other female cast members.</p>
<p>So who are you placing your money on Lorne Michaels hiring for at least a season? And can the show really handle five women comedians at one time?<br />
<!--more--><br />
The current top bet is <strong>Kate McKinnon</strong> from <em>The Big Gay Sketch Show</em>, who Deadline believes might make an appearance as early as next week's <strong>Sophia Vergara</strong> episode. Mr. Michaels has maybe possibly been meeting with several other candidates as well, including <strong>Jessica Joy</strong> from <em>The Playboy Club</em>, <strong>Lauren Lapku</strong><strong>s</strong> from <em>Are You There Chelsea</em>, and <strong>Elaine Carroll</strong> from the web series <a href="http://www.collegehumor.com/verymarykate">Very Mary-Kate</a>.</p>
<p>If we were picking fan favorites, it would go to Ms. Carroll, hands down. <em>Saturday Night Live</em> has already ripped off her long-running impression of <strong>Mary Kate Olsen</strong> for their Zooey Deschanel sketch this season, so we know they are fans.</p>
<p>Elaine Carroll as the cutest Olsen that is not Elizabeth or the other twin:<br />

<p>Also to Ms. Carroll's credit, she <a href="http://welcometothisblogbitch.tumblr.com/post/925424761/alison9803-aaaaaahhhhhhhh-elaine-carroll">was on<em> Mad Men</em></a>! How many <em>Saturday Night Live</em> performers can say that?</p>
<p>But to be fair, here are the other <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">tributes</span> possible new stars!</p>
<p><strong>Kate McKinnon</strong>:<br />

<p><a href="http://vimeo.com/28284138">REAL CHARACTERS - Kate McKinnon</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user800809">Andy Ross</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>

<p>Jessica Joy (We think she's the one on the left):<br />

<p><strong>Pro</strong>: She comes from Second City, which is like UCB but with more famous alumni and in Chicago.</p>
<p>So: Who would you want to see on <em>SNL</em>? Write-in votes also acceptable.</p>
