[Blind Gossip] The producers of this network TV show have a real dilemma on their hands.
They have a cast member who they want to let go for several reasons.
He never developed an iconic character and he doesn’t have the range that the rest of the cast does. Plus his personal behavior is stressing everybody out. His contract is up, so the timing is right to let him go.
There’s a big problem though.
He is very unstable and they’re not sure what kind of crazy thing he will do if they don’t renew his contract.

He was given an amazing opportunity on SNL. It has made many a rewarding career. He was given a second chance and has now blown it. There is nothing endearing about him. Time to let him go.

I think so too – it’s sad

Listen, Ive has experience with people like this in my family. There’s only so much you can do. If they don’t take the help, or want the help, it’s okay to cut them loose. Everything they touch becomes toxic and complicated, it’s not fair to either party.
The most you can do is Wish him his best, send him home with a retirement muffin basket and a Voucher to a rehab facility.
