Kate McKinnon is joining the cast of “Saturday Night Live.”
She’s also the first openly gay female cast member in the show’s long history.
McKinnon, who cut her teeth on Logo’s “The Big Gay Sketch Show” — produced by Rosie O’Donnell — could make her first appearance as soon as tomorrow night in the “SNL” hosted by “Modern Family” co-star Sofia Vergara, according to Deadline.com.
McKinnon, a trouper in the New York-based Upright Citizens Brigade comedy team, has also been in several one-woman shows including “Disenchanted,” according to reports.
Terry Sweeney was the first gay man to appear on “SNL” as a cast member during the 1985 season — 10 years after the show’s premiere on NBC.

Re: Abbie Elliot leaving Saturday Night Live SNL?
Assuming the above rumors are true, here's the tenure of this year's cast members as of the end of this season:
Fred Armisen - 10 years
Kenan Thompson - 9 years
Bill Hader - 7 years
Abby Elliott - 4 years
Bobby Moynihan - 4 years
Nasim Pedrad - 3 years
Vanessa Bayer - 2 years
Taran Killam - 2 years
Jay Pharoah - 2 years
Leaving/Left
--------------
Jason Sudekis - 7.5 years
Kristin Wiig - 7 years
Andy Samberg - 7 years
Paul Brittain - 1.5 years
I think Fred is all right, but it's time for him to go. I'm apathetic about Keenan. He HAS been on a long time though. I like Hader, so he can stay. The rest are new enough that I'm fine with them staying, except for Jay Pharoah, who I think contributes nothing and should be let go.

If Fred leaves, they would need a new Obama especially with a presidential election in the fall. In fact, Fred might need to stay four more years after that. Who has been doing Romney? Is it Sudekis?

I like Vanessa Bayer and I think she has potential and in my book better than Wiig though not as good as Poehler, Fey, Rudolph, and Dratch in the past.

Jay Phaorah would be a better Obama than Armisen.

This was reported in the general SNL post, but I wasn't subscribed to it.
