\n\t\u201cSaturday Night Live<\/a>\u201d star Chloe Fineman<\/a> is still processing the sketch show\u2019s recent cast shake-up. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe past few weeks have seen the departures of Heidi Gardner, Devon Walker, Michael Longfellow and Emil Wakim, plus the splitting up of Please Don\u2019t Destroy as Ben Marshall was promoted to main cast, Martin Herlihy moved to writing staff and John Higgins left the show. <\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaking to Extra TV<\/a> at a New York Fashion Week event for Michael Kors on Thursday, Fineman \u2014 who is returning for Season 51<\/a> alongside show mainstays Bowen Yang, Ego Nwodim and Kenan Thompson \u2014 called the cast changes \u201cpretty wild.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSome shocking stuff \u2014 a little heartbreak, sadness. I haven\u2019t fully processed anything,\u201d Fineman said. \u201cBut I will say, the show has such turnover. I\u2019m going into my seventh year, I\u2019ve done it and you always experience it. But these people stay in your lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOne of the most shocking exits was Gardner, who had been on \u201cSNL<\/a>\u201d for eight seasons. Yang praised her<\/a> on his podcast \u201cLas Culturistas\u201d earlier this week, calling the comedian \u201cone of the greats\u201d who will \u201cgo down in history.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOther returning \u201cSNL\u201d players include Mikey Day, Sarah Sherman, Marcello Hern\u00e1ndez, Andrew Dismukes, James Austin Johnson, Ashley Padilla and Jane Wickline. The show is also adding some new faces to Season 51, with Tommy Brennan, Jeremy Culhane, Kam Patterson and Veronika Slowikowska joining the cast. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI am excited for the new people. It\u2019s so many people,\u201d Fineman said. \u201cWhen I saw how young the new cast is, I immediately got a laser. I was like, do I get the forever 35 facelift? I was Googling their ages and I felt like I was in \u2018Death Becomes Her,\u2019 like oh my god.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d star Chloe Fineman is still processing the sketch show\u2019s recent cast shake-up.
