"BECAUSE YOU WROTE BRIDE WARS" MIGHT HAVE BEEN MORE ACCEPTABLE: E! is reporting that a major factor in Casey Wilson's departure from SNL is not merely the mixed reviews she got, but that she declined to comply with a production ultimatum that she lose 30 pounds. Of course, probably the funniest thing Wilson did last year was the Mad Men sketch in which she played Joan, a bit made possible by the fact that she's not stick-thin. Wilson also excelled at playing the straight woman to the wackier antics of Kristin Wiig in particular. SNL is at its best when it's got a diversity of talent--right now, its female cast is 4 very skinny girls. (Also, of last season's 22 episodes, only three were hosted by women.) It certainly raises some questions.
