EVEN MORE ELITE THAN THE FIVE-TIMERS CLUB: The fact that Alec Baldwin will, tomorrow night, tie John Goodman for the coveted second place position on the list of "Persons Who've Hosted SNL the Most," with 12 hosting gigs (Steve Martin remains #1, with hosting appearance 14 slated for the spring) is interesting enough on its own, but the Times article on the subject includes the following cryptic remark--"Michaels is . . . preparing to say goodbye to several mainstays, whom he will identify sometime next year." So, who's going? I think the arrival of Kristin Wiig makes the departures of several female cast members (Poehler and Dratch in particular) exceedingly likely, and it's time for Hammond and Meyers to step aside and let the new talent take over. And can we just fire Horatio Sanz for the hell of it?
