#HEAD SNL WRITER UPDATE#
The premiere also featured guest-writing credits for Dave Sirus (as a Weekend Update writer) and former SNL head writer Chris Kelly Kelly will return to write several upcoming episodes this season. Written by SNL head writer and future Oscar-winning screenwriter Adam McKay, it skewers commercials that prey on the elderly, using both fear and the reassuring presence of Sam Waterston from TVs. Saturday Night Live co-head writers and Weekend Update co-anchors Michael Che and Colin Jost. Longtime SNL writer James Anderson, who has been at the show since 2000, was not listed in the credits for the premiere, but according to sources, he has not left the show permanently and will serve as a writer for season 46. In addition to the previously announced news that Anna Drezen has been promoted to co-head writer, this season’s writing staff is - much like the cast - very much the same as last season, with one new hire: Toronto native, Second City alum, and playwright Celeste Yim. Saturday Night Live’s 46th season premiered this weekend, and alongside three new cast members and a shiny new opening-title sequence, a couple changes were reflected in the show’s credits. Colin Jost (born June 29, 1982, Staten Island, New York) is an American actor, comedian, and head writer for Saturday Night Live since 2005 and starting the Maepisode, he succeeded Seth Meyers as the co-anchor of Weekend Update. He currently hosts Late Night with Seth Meyers, a late-night talk show on NBC.
They will join current head writers Kent Sublette and Bryan Tucker. Seth Adam Meyers (born December 28, 1973) is an American stand-up comedian, television host, actor, writer, and producer.
