After 8 years Bennett might simply be sick of it. He might feel creatively exhausted and want to try something new even if it doesn't mean becoming a superstar. In the current environment of a thousand streamers and a million shows it won't be hard for him to find steady work. Sasheer Zamata was on Marc Maron's podcast recently. She left SNL after only three and a half years and says she has been working steadily ever since. I don't think SNL cast members are as naive as they might have been a generation ago. They get agents immediately and can spend off weeks and summers talking to media companies and seeing what else is available. Maybe when they first get hired they might imagine themselves to be Belushi or Sandler. After a few years they should have a good idea of where their post-SNL career will take them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
