Don't get me wrong, I still love SNL, I just can't believe Lorne would fire someone as amazing as him (hello, there were two people in Lazy Sunday). SNL still has talent in it's cast: Phoeler, Rudolph, Thompson, etc. but they lost one of the greats.

It was more like he was "let go," than "fired" in 2006. He had been on for 8 years. Lorne was trying to develop the newer cast members to keep the show fresh, and keeping the old weight had become too expensive after the budget cut. It wasn't a cold-blooded firing. It was a "We like you obviously, but we can't afford you anymore. Time to move on."

No doubt about it!
Agree with the OP that this is a major blunder on the part of SNL because Chris held the show together
Chris is the major draw;
he is the major draw anywhere. And the show couldn't help but to go anywhere but down the tubes without himexactly what it did, unbearable to watch, pointless and senseless even.
I hope Chris lands on his feet, too!
As you aptly say, "He's a talented, versatile guy who didn't deserve to be fired!" Best wishes, Chris! Your fans miss you.
