SNL Poll: Which Cast Members Would You Keep for Next Season? Vote Now!
Saturday Night Live is about to wrap up its historic 50th season… but some of the cast members standing on the stage this week might not be there next season.
SNL airs its season finale this Saturday on NBC, and we're already thinking about next season — specifically, which current members of the cast might not return for Season 50. Some years, the full cast sticks around for another season, and other years, we see multiple cast members say goodbye to Studio 8H. (Sometimes, if they're longtime cast members, they even get an emotional send-off during the season finale.)

(Note: The Please Don't Destroy trio of Ben Marshall, John Higgins and Martin Herlihy aren't technically SNL cast members, so we didn't include them here.)
