Featured Player Update 1/29 - Nasim gets frisky and Taran's gone

So Taran Killam was not in this episode of SNL. Did his skits get cut, did he have to be absent, or did he get an early axe? My guess is his skits got cut. Time will tell. He definitely didn't get fired, because he's been tweeting this week about how excited he is to work with Dana Carvey.

=====================

NASIM PEDRAD

Show - Mr. Wizard's World

Jesse Eisenberg ... Chris
Abby Elliott ... Lauren
Bill Hader ... Don Herbert, Mr. Wizard
Nasim Pedrad ... Claudette
Kenan Thompson ... kid
Kristen Wiig ... announcer (voice)

A science experiment gets risque when two of the students start experimenting on their own.



Hahahaha. Nasim is hilarious! Totally her skit here.

=====================

JAY PHAROAH

Show - The Essentials: Bride of Blackenstein

Jesse Eisenberg ... Igor
Nicki Minaj ... bride
Bill Hader ... townsperson
Steve Higgins ... announcer (voice)
Jay Pharoah ... scientist
Jason Sudeikis ... Robert Osborne
Kenan Thompson ... Blackenstein
Kristen Wiig ... townsperson

Everyone is familiar with 'Frankenstein' - but you probably never saw the tale of 'Bride of Blackenstein.'



Jay's pretty funny here as the scientist. Kristen's got a nice straight and flat joke.

=====================

Here's how the featured players did...

1. Nasim Pedrad - 3 skits this week, including playing lead with Jesse in Mr. Wizard's World and being one of the sexy 12-year olds in Skins.
2. Jay Pharoah - only 1 skit this week, but it was as the mad scientist in Dr. Blackenstein. Funny enough to score him second place!
3. Paul Brittain - 2 skits. Paul was featured well in the Estro-Maxx commercial and as one of the Skins kids.
3. Vanessa Bayer - 2 skits. She just supported in Spa Talk and El Shrinko.
4. Taran Killam - He was absent. Likely that his skits got cut or nobody wrote him in.


Enjoy!
