Life After “Saturday Night Live”
Life isn’t always so kind to those who choose to depart late night sketch show “Saturday Night Live.” Some, like Bill Murray, end up leading a comic revolution with movies like Caddyshack, Ghost Busters and Rushmore. Others, no matter how talented on the small screen, just can’t seem to land a role that fits. Remember Jimmy Fallon’s starring roles in Taxi and Fever Pitch?
Whatever the obstacles or challenges, “SNL” alums continually attempt to stretch their comedic chops beyond 30 Rockefeller Plaza. As Baby Mama hits theaters, MM takes a look at what the future holds for “SNL” graduates and their devoted audiences.

It’s a true “SNL” reunion for leads Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and their writer-director Michael McCullers (who spent a season as a writer on the Saturday night comedy series). And just in time. Fey is on a streak with recent Golden Globe, Emmy, Screen Actors Guild and Writers Guild Award wins for her sitcom spoof of the show that made her a star. Add to that the recent buzz surrounding Poehler’s performances as presidential contender Senator Hillary Clinton and you’ve got quite a recipe to conquer the weekend box office.
