Before the start of the season, Will Ferrell and Ana Gasteyer left the show. Gasteyer was on maternity leave, and decided not to return, while Ferrell left to star in feature films. Hired to fill their absences were comedian/punk musician Fred Armisen and TV writer Will Forte. Both joined the show as featured players. Armisen is the show's second Latino male cast member, and also the second male cast member to have some Asian heritage. Armisen is so far the only cast member to have Korean heritage.
This would be the final season for Dean Edwards, Chris Kattan and Tracy Morgan. The latter two would make cameo appearances in many episodes of the following season.Cast roster
