SNL gets an Obama
SNL reportedly hires two new castmembers

The image “http://i26.tinypic.com/23s8x7l.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

From TheEnvelope.com:
Casey Wilson has been added to the cast. She's a performer from UCB-LA and is very, very funny.

In addition to Casey Wilson, it appears that Donald Glover will also be joining the cast. They really needed a good Barack Obama impersonator, and he will fit the role well. He is a writer for "30 Rock", member of the Upright Citizens Brigade and has been featured on Conan's show many times.

Every few years since 1975, people have been saying "SNL hasn't been funny since _____ left" - Belushi, Hartman, Carvey, Farley, Ferrell, etc. Things are always much funnier in retrospect and in SNL's case, when old episodes are edited down to 1 hour for reruns and all the sketches that bombed live are cut.

Oh god, the best part of the 2000 election were the SNL skits. I recall one where "Gore" kept saying 'lockbox' and Will Ferrel as Bush was just lulzy. I also remember from 2004 they did a play on American Idol and had all the candidates judged by Randy, Paula and Simon. All I remember was "John Edwards" claiming that every American would be given a puppy hahaha.

Wouldn't it be weird to know that you were hired SPECIFICALLY to play the potential next president? (God knows SNL hates to hire minority except for specific scenarios.) Have they done that before?
