With the mass exodus of cast members this season, SNL needs to find new people to replace the likes of Bill Hader, Jason Sudeikis, Fred Armisen and Seth Meyers, and it looks like they're taking their pick from the Upright Citizen's Brigade Theatre (which has given them past and present cast members like Amy Poehler, Rob Riggle, Horatio Sanz, Kate McKinnon and Bobby Moynihan) . According to Deadline, the new candidates are John Milhiser, Noel Wells, Kyle Mooney, and Beck Bennet, plus Michael Patrick O'Brien, who's apparently coming out of the writer's room to become a featured player.
The only one I know much of is Beck Bennet, and you'll probably recognize him too, from these AT&T commercials:
It's funny, when I first saw these ads, the guy seemed like a natural for a position as a correspondent on The Daily Show. Maybe this is a future Weekend Update host?
