The Amazingly Gay Duo Is Back

Saturday Night Live may have lost three of its MVPs – Horatio Sanz, the invaluable Chris Parnell, and Finesse Mitchell – this season, but show runner Lorne Michaels has scored with this fan by tapping Seth Meyers to join the hilarious Amy Poehler as co-anchor of the show’s “Weekend Updated,” effectively filling the void left by Tina Fey.

Meyers is known for his uncanny impressions of Sen. John Kerry, Hugh Grant, and Anderson Cooper. His most famous characters include Dr. Dave Klinger, a.k.a. “Zinger”; Dan Needler, husband to Poehler’s Sally and one half of “the couple that should be divorced”; and Ian Gerard, the pun-loving British entertainment journalist co-host of “Spy Glass” – an Access Hollywood send-off he sketched with…Poehler, no less.

He is also taking Fey's spot as a head writer on the show.


SNL kicks off its new season on Saturday, Sept. 30, with host Dane Cook (eh choice) and musical guests The Killers (good choice).
