VH1's Best Week Ever blog confirmed that the three Saturday Night Live cast members who are being canned are Horatio Sanz, Finesse Mitchell and Chris Parnell. Now, like Best Week Ever, I kind of agree with the first two.
Horatio Sanz is kind of funny, but only in that "look at that stupid fat guy" kind of way. That's all he can do. And he doesn't do it nearly as well as Chris Farley, may he rest in peace. Sanz constantly flubs his lines and has a case of Jimmy Fallonitis - the tendency to laugh in the middle of a skit, even if it's not all that funny. So, no biggie there.
Finesse Mitchell is mildly funny, but SNL has never been known for its ability to keep two black men in the cast at the same time. And if they had to cut one, better to cut Finesse and keep the teddy bear-esque Kenan Thompson.
But Chris Parnell??? He's only faltered once - when he tried to take over as Dubya after Will Ferrell left. That's hardly his fault. Ferrell played Bush better than Bush plays himself. (Thankfully, Will Forte has mastered the prez. Maybe only guys named Will can accurately portray him?) Other than that, everything he does is funny. Why don't they get rid of Darrell Hammond instead? He's been on for a ridiculously long time. Maybe even longer than Tim Meadows was, if that's even possible. Sure, he's a good impressionist, but even his impressions are starting to sound alike. When he's not imitating someone else, I don't think he's particularly funny.
But whatever, SNL. Chris Parnell doesn't need you. And now that he has more free time, maybe I can get a date with him. Unless he's gay...and then I'll flip out. The only good men I've found so far in New York are all gay.

But I agree with the whiteprocrastinator go after the guys who buy their clothes from Old Navy. Sure they don't have any fashion sense, but the odds are that they are straight.
Google maps is the best!
