Saturday Night Live made two unbelievable cast decisions when they decided to not bring back Jay Pharaoh and Taran Killam, the two best male performers on the show. Jay was best known for spot on Obama and Ben Carson impressions, and Taran was the best everyman on the show since Phil Hartman. It blows my mind these two are not coming back. Here are skits featuring both individually, and then Boy Dance Party, a top 10 skit from the last ten years, which features both of them.
Warning - some salty language and adult situations! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED:

The other goodbye was Larry Wilmore. The Nightly Show was unceremoniously dumped by Comedy Central, even though, most nights, it was better than The Daily Show. That shouldn't be taken as a shot on the Daily Show, as Trevor Noah has gotten a lot better over the lest few months, but Wilmore's comedy was so wonderful. His removal must solely be ratings driven, but that's unfair too. Colbert was a hard act to follow, especially with a completely different type of comedy show, one that focused on trying to understand the world from a minority perspective, and wildly succeeding most of the time. Here is his goodbye with Jon Stewart, whose comment about not confusing cancellation with failure is great.

Have a great weekend everyone!
