Bennett is perhaps the best known of the bunch, having appeared in a series of national spots for At&T.

Mike O’Brien is moving from writer to cast member, while Tim Robinson (who made his debut last season) is doing the opposite.

A lot of pressure and opportunity for Cecily Strong after Lorne Michaels revealed yesterday that second-year cast member Cecily Strong will co-host “Weekend Update” this season with Seth Meyers, who is departing the show in February to focus on “Late Night.”
