Now that "Saturday Night Live’s" historic 50th season is in the rear view (alongside the "SNL50" concert special, the star-studded. face-squishing anniversary special and more), fans can look forward to the sketch show’s more subdued return to the 2025 TV schedule for Season 51. At the moment, we’re still not sure who will head up the list of upcoming guest hosts and musical acts, but there’s been another between-seasons exit, this time related to “Weekend Update.”
Lorne Michaels previously hinted at changes being made behind the scenes ahead of Season 51, and the first major alteration came with the news that three-year vet Devon Walker was the first cast member to be cut. Now, writer Rosebud Baker has revealed she has stepped down, and will no longer be involved with putting words in the mouths of current “Weekend Update” hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che, whose futures are also rumored to be in flux.
