There are too many cast members on SNL and a few have overstayed their time. When someone like Troast comes on the show, she gets some airtime and makes her presence felt, but also lost in the shuffle. SNL should not have more than 10 cast members at one time.
As someone who has been watching SNL since 86, I thought Chloe Troast had one of the better first years on the show. I was really looking forward to seeing what she did next on the show, and will definitely look forward to what she does outside of it.
Being there live for this as it happened was absolutely wild. I’m not sure we’ve had anything like this since Chris Redd departed. Of course I went to cover it for my Substack, and because I try to bring something a little different to coverage, I remembered how I used SNN’s stats for Punkie and Molly, so I immediately went to the postseason BTN and grabbed that. I also added Bowen, John, and Ben’s messages. Being Instagram stories, they’re unable to be sourced unless highlighted, so I ended up linking the SNN tweet.
Dang, I was so excited to see Chloe come back this season. She was one of my favorite new cast members and I was super excited to see her grow into her full potential. Nevertheless, I’m still excited to see what Ashley, Emil and Jane bring to the table! 😊
Interested in the new cast (I’d seen and enjoyed Jane’s work on TikTok) but I wonder if Chloe was dropped in their favor because of their connections to SNL people. Bob Odenkirk’s wife represents one, another just did a role on Curb… yeah sounds like a political thing. Lorne sometimes doesn’t know what’s best for the show and it shows often.
yeah i don't get this one, season 49's cast was the tightest it's been since the show started but i guess with all of the nostalgia trips we'll see in season 50 we might not get to see the cast that much
A curse to Season 50 with Chloe’s firing. There’s got to be more to this story and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s jealousy to the attention she received.
So sad about Chloe departing the show but I’m hopeful she has amazing things on her horizon. I love Jane Wickline’s videos so I’m excited to see what her performance will be like on the show.
She’s very funny but it’s a dry sense of humor, like Kyle Mooney. I think she’s brilliant and relatable to a you her audience and SNL always needs to balance out the over-the-top theater kid energy that the modern casts seem to gravitate toward, which I find exhausting at times.
@Pencilman246 Granted, I have a small sample size, but the little I did watch was a struggle to get through. Maybe she'll be more of a writer? If it's to get the youth demo, it's going to backfire as they don't even watch TV anymore.
Dang, Chloe Troast should have been promoted to the main cast. Every time she sang she brought the house down.
Chloe was asked not to come back according to her Instagram story.

I still miss Cecily Strong. She could do anything.
agreed
*100%! She nailed every sketch she was in!*
Sad for Troast. She deserved better.
I've heard Jane Wickline is the daughter of Matt Wickline, an emmy winning writer of Late Night with David Letterman and In Living Color
I thought Chloe was going to be huge on SNL. Mistake. Someone cast her in a movie.
lmao why would you even think that?! She about the epitome of unfunny lmao.
She just said that she was not asked to come back.

I hope Chloe gets to Broadway, she will be a star there!!

It wasn't her choice to leave. That's why it's so baffling.
I hope Chloe Troast can go on to Broadway triumph! She deserves success, and SNL didn't fully utilize her talent.
the last good Jane on SNL was Jane curtin
Awesome! Three more cat members who will be on the show for a couple years, maybe do one character, and then are never heard from again.
I wonder about these news cast members, I hope they are good and not trying to fill things that are not necessary.
They already have too many cast members.
Chloe Troast deserved better. It was a big, huge mistake to fire her, Lorne.
Agree!
lmao no.
Im a big fan of Jane Wickline, though I have a hard time picturing her on the show. I hope she blows us away tho'!
Bring Chloe Troast back she rocks ❤❤❤
SNL should do drastic change: less cast; hire an already famous cast member - which they in effect do with people like Melissa McCarthy.
I'm gonna miss chloe

I did not think Chloe Troast was all that on the show.
yeah i don't get this one, season 49's cast was the tightest it's been since the show started but i guess with all of the nostalgia trips we'll see in season 50 we might not get to see the cast that much
I'm sure they will turn it around 😸
Who?
@@ticoangelo the new cast
Chloe's leaving! NO!!!!!!
I’m devastated.. lol. The show has way too many cast members.
So are u not doing the season recaps anymore?
Cutting Chloe T is so unfortunate 😢
Why did you guys stop your season reviews....does it just stop at Season 10, or will this come back anytime soon?
You “spoke” too soon. They just released season 11 on the 13th of September.
hey, where's the Story of SNL S11 ?
Jon's too innocent for this world.

SNL doesn't even have the courage to make real jokes anymore. It needs to be put to pasture.

I suspect Jost and Che leave mid season
why?
She wasn't asked back. I can't recall who she was tbh.
Season 50 should've been an entire cast overhaul. (This means you, Kenan)
The last decade of SNL has been a struggle to watch.
Punkie and Molly were funny. Trost sang too much; I'm not sure why she's trending.
She was great ! However, the show despiratly need new writers ! Show is not funny !
Jane Wickline? I checked out some of her tiktoks and none of them were even remotely funny. Extremely wooden delivery.
She’s very funny but it’s a dry sense of humor, like Kyle Mooney. I think she’s brilliant and relatable to a you her audience and SNL always needs to balance out the over-the-top theater kid energy that the modern casts seem to gravitate toward, which I find exhausting at times.

the show needs to start from scratch .....new writers and new cast.
Chloe belongs on the show! They need to let some vets go
SNL sucks. Has for years
good to know
Well then why are you commenting on a podcast that solely covers SNL?
@@stevebishop896 because I have freedom of speech Mr.Bishop. Why even reply?
@@Sonofgrievous you think saying that is gonna them stop this podcast or something?
SNL is fucking garbage lol
