Such a sad day, with less than a week away from the season premier, Maya Rudolph has confirmed that she will not be returning to Saturday Night Live for her eighth season.

There have been a lot of rumors circulating about her return, but contrary to the rumors, she is actually leaving with no official reason. Right when you start to really like the show and the characters is when they leave you high and dry. At least we still have Amy Poehler and Kristen Wiig.

The show was just starting to get good again. On the flip side, the rest of the cast will be returning. The person I'm looking forward to seeing is a skinny Kenan Thompson; not for his acting (b/c he only plays one character for every role) but to see how Kenan's Obama impersonation will be played as Don King. Maybe with his weight loss he found his waistline and some acting range. Should be interesting.

The season premier will be this Saturday, September 29th with guest host, LeBron James and musical guest, Kanye West.

Farewell Maya, you'll be missed.
