WILL FORTE LEAVES SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE

One less reason to watch NBC's Saturday Night Live.  Eight season veteran Will Forte who brought us the brilliant MacGruber sketches, has announced today via his Publicist that he will not be returning to the show this Fall.  Instead, he will be focusing on film projects including A Good Old Fashioned Orgy, also starring SNL alumni Jason Sudeikis as a Groom looking to throw one final wild bash before his big Wedding Day.   The film still does not have a confirmed release date.

Kristen Wiig, please don't you leave too!

MACGRUBER REVIEW

MacGruber is the latest in a slew of Saturday Night Live spin-off feature films to hit the big screen, but where it differs from many of its predecessors is that it actually delivers beyond just a funny Trailer. It is ridiculous, repulsive, offensive and I absolutely loved it.

The comedy, directed by Saturday Night Live writer Jorma Taccone, is actually his directorial feature debut. The film, co-written by its star Will Forte is held up almost completely by him as a One Man Show with his brilliant sense of timing, fearlessness and witty writing.

The story has retired special operative MacGruber back on a mission to protect Washington, DC against a planned nuclear attack by Dieter Von Cunth (Val Kilmer); yes, it's pronounced just as it's spelled. After accidentally - albeit hilariously - killing off his team of helpers, MacGruber is desperate for help and successfully convinces long-time object of desire Vicki St. Elmo (Kristen Wiig) and initially reluctant Lt. Dixon Piper (Ryan Phillipe) to come aboard.
