Vulture reports that Lorne Michaels has decided to fire both Michaela Watkins and Casey Wilson from the cast of Saturday Day Night Live just in time for the holiday weekend. (This is in the wake of the news that two new women would be joining this season’s cast.) Does that make him the worst boss ever? We could kind of care less about Wilson (she was like a boring brunette version of Bonnie Hunt), but we have to agree with Mark Graham — the thought of no more snarky reviews from Angie Tempura of bitchpleeze.com is hard to swallow. One of Tempura’s final appearances on Weekend Update after the jump. Enjoy with an iced coffee, if you’ve got one handy.
Do you think the fact that newcomer Abby Elliott was grandfathered in kept her safe? Or perhaps Michaels finds her as easy to forget as we do. Either way, since Poehler left, the only lady we really care about on SNL is Gilly. She’s nominated for an Emmy, you know.

This is so disappointing! Watkins is hilarious, and if Michaels can’t see that, we have a serious problem at SNL.
F*ck you, c*nt. Watkins is a walking piece of sh*t. Casey Wilson is way better and u know u wish you were her. That b*tch please segment was so fricken retarded I’m happy I don’t have to see her big fat bird nose ever again.
Name one good Wilson skit.
Agreed, but the problem is nothing new. Comics have always used the show as a springboard for other things, but I feel like the talent gap between the cast members who I find funny and the ones I don't has grown a lot wider in recent years.
Seriously, Casey Wilson never did a single thing of note on the show. She was a worthless castmember.
I think she did a pretty good Arianna Hufftington.
They were both horrible. Watkins did OK at that chick from Today Show 4th hour, but the skit was always horrible. And her Tempura character was the worst addition to Weekend Update since Horatio Sanz.
I tivo'ed a bunch of SNL's, watched them over the last few days, and I was flabbergasted about how bad the Angie Tempura segment was. Good riddance, Watkins….
I'm not defending the Casey woman, but I don't understand why everyone thinks Watkins is so great. I can't find anything on the net to support my POV.
Yall are crazy! The ‘Bitch Pleeze’ skit was friggin’ hilarious! And so was Watkin’s Hoda. Super funny straight performance against Wiig’s nutty Gifford. And Blerg, you need to simmer down. It’s a show for chrissakes, not politics or health care or genocide.
