A Flip, a Flop

Following 11th-hour negotiations that can only be described as nail-biting by fans of Saturday Night Live, Maya Rudolph (pictured at right, on the right) will return for the show’s 33rd season on Sept. 29.

Rudolph quit the show on Monday after having renewed her contract on Sept. 21.

She is one of only three female cast members (the other two are Amy Poehler and Kristen Wiig) on SNL – so her absence would have been absolutely noticed and felt.

I’m so so glad the Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, and Whitney Houston impersonator isn’t going anywhere; I would’ve had to channel her Donatella Versace and go all “Aaaaahhh!” otherwise.
