I’m guessing their hiring may not be over, but is SNL going to go through another season without hiring any more minority cast members? The Fred Armisen Obama is a total mistake (SNL does best when they have a great political impression – Tina Fey as Palin, Will Ferrell as Bush, Phil Hartman as Clinton…), and are they going to fly in Maya Rudolph every time they need to feature a Michelle Obama? Black people, hispanic folks, asian folks, etc can be funny SNL. Or so I’ve heard.
