Comments on: Axe Falls on Newer SNL Cast Members…Too Fat and Too Funny? http://www.twirlit.com/2009/09/15/axe-falls-on-newer-snl-cast-members-too-fat-and-too-funny/ Mon, 13 Feb 2012 03:43:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Missy http://www.twirlit.com/2009/09/15/axe-falls-on-newer-snl-cast-members-too-fat-and-too-funny/#comment-5356 Missy Tue, 15 Sep 2009 19:31:04 +0000 http://www.twirlit.com/?p=22605#comment-5356 Chris Farley and John Belushi were also both men. And sure, if either Watkins or Wilson were incredibly successful they would have stayed on the show (presumably). But, that's not the problem. The problem, allegedly, is that they were booted not due to their lack of talent, but their lack of skin tone. Which is ugly and disgusting. It's also a pattern you see again and again. As women age or gain weight, they lose roles (or their roles become diminished). Some fucked up shit if you ask me. And if it comes out this really was the reason, well, that'll be the end of my SNL viewings (not that I watch it much these days anyway). Chris Farley and John Belushi were also both men.
