Sounds likely that Jason, if planning to depart, will have at least a regular presence through the election. I believe there is a precedence for this on SNL (a departing cast member hanging on through an election, then departing mid-seaon). Regarding Wiig's versatility or lack of said, I can point to her film roles in "Bridesmaids," "Adventureland," "Extract," "Friends with Kids," "Whip It" and "Paul," which are amusing/wacky but generally grounded rather than grating. I have usually found her SNL characters funny, from Aunt Linda and the yuppie a-hole to Penelope and the unctuous, clueless grande dame actress. But, yes. the Target Lady and Gilly did wear out their welcome after a while. I'm happy for her that she's moving on to potentially bigger and better. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
