They are two of my favourites - Kate McKinnon could be the Carol Burnett of the 21st Century with the right team on the right show instead of making mediocre movies.

I really didn't think much of Pete at first. He grew on me a bit, especially in the pre-recorded rap bits, but he never seemed comfortable in the sketch bits. He will probably go on to do a lot of things that I will never see.
Kyle? I don't know, I liked the running bit with him and Leslie Jones while she was there, but most of his other stuff was kind of "meh" for me.
I wonder about Cecily Strong. Wasn't there talk about her leaving last year?
