Shearer was going to be the pick here, so instead I'll go with another unrealized potential pick.

116. Casey Wilson



And we're in the home stretch now, Mayhem up

[Leo]

Page jump, so what we got left. Deadly needs a musical guest, everyone else is a cast member

117 Mayhem
118 Deadly
119 Liz
120 Smitty

Soon as Smitty's pick is posted add/drop can start. Fish still needs a cast member. I'll also make a post at that time regarding add/drop and match-ups with times and dates and such.

[MayhemNX]

117 Nancy Walls/Carell

[L!zz~]

I messaged Dead earlier. Hopefully he will check in or let me know who he wants and than I can finish it off.

[Deadly]

Me:
118. The Beastie Boys

Liz:
119. The Muppets

Smitty:
120. Brian Doyle Murray

*mic drop*

Ruling on the Muppets. Liz has access to the Land of Gorch Muppets who appeared on SNL as featured players in the first season, not all Muppets.

Bookkeeping post upcoming, but consider add/drop open.

The creepy ones are the only ones I wanted. I researched it before making my decision.

Main board updated.

Add/Drop
Add/Drop will be open from now through 8 p.m. Thursday, so roughly 48 hours. There is no add/drop between match-up rounds. If you drop someone, anyone else can pick them up immediately. Post in this thread who you are dropping and who you are adding.

Trades
Trades of talent for talent will be part of the add/drop period and also close at 8 p.m. Thursday. No trades between match-up rounds. All parties must post in this thread who they are trading and that they agree to the trade.

Match-ups
Round 1 is by draft order and outlined in first post of this thread. Round 1 will run from around 8 p.m. est Friday to 8 p.m. est Sunday for voting.

Round 2 will start roughly 8 p.m. Monday and go to 8 p.m. Wednesday. Round 2 seeding will be the winner with the most votes versus the wild card of the loser with the most votes; the winner with the second most votes versus the winner with the least votes and the other winners. If there is a tie in seeding, I will flip a coin. If there is a tie in voting in any round, I will get someone on the boards who didn't vote to break the tie.

Round 3 will be a triple threat final of three winners from round 3. It will run from around 8 p.m. next Thursday to 8 p.m. the following Sunday, allowing an extra day since it's the final.

Voting
Vote for the roster you like best in each match-up. As discussed in the thread, voters can perceive cast members any way they wish. However, I encourage everyone in your match up thread to explain how you see your team, how you wish to use people, even give sketch ideas. This isn't mandatory, but I think it is part of the fantasy fun and could help to sway some voters. I'm basically say to sell your roster any way you can.

Verification
Please review your team roster as it appears in the second post of this thread. If you have any issues, additions, corrections, etc., message me with them or post in the thread. Also make sure you have as your Weekend Update anchor. If people didn't say, I basically slated whatever former anchor you drafted in the slot that seemed like the proper fit. Again, you can have two anchors if you want.

I trade Eddie Murphy to Solly for Jimmy Fallon


I trade Jimmy Fallon to Smitty for Brian Doyle Murray


Note: I ran this by Leo earlier. (without naming who Smitty would be trading, the concept) I screwed up our lists so I'm trying to make it right.

I figured that's what you were going for, but I was just clarifying for others.

As draft commissioner, I confirm all parties confirm the trade. Liz basically asked me earlier if three way trades were cool, and they always have been in any fantasy draft I've ever done. They even do it in pro sports all the time.

[Leo]

Note Fish, still needs to finish his roster.

[Leo]

As a note, there are still 45 free agent cast members.

Sharing in the thread would be name dropping. Sharing other ways...

Dropping Brian Doyle Murray for Leslie Jones

[The Canadian Content]

I'll take Finesse Mitchell to finish off.

[Leo]

Friendly reminder, add/drop and trading closes at 8 p.m. est Thursday. First round match ups post 8 p.m. Friday. Please, check your line up for accuracy. If you haven't told me who your Weekend Update anchor is, or if you want two, do that soon. If you don't, I will slot the most natural fit into the position. Once a roster is posted for the match-up, it's not changing. I've given plenty of fair warnings and time, so no crying if something isn't how you wanted it.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Where can we post lineups?

[Leo]

You can post your lineup in this thread and then I'll make sure that matches what I have on the second post of this thread, put together from the draft, and that is what is used for the match-ups, posting tomorrow. Anyone can post lineups and any special notes for the general populace here in the main thread.

[Leo]

Also, let me say, my plan was to list everyone alphabetically how they get listed on the show opening credits and write it like Don Pardo's opening intro. I would mark Update anchors as (WU). However, if someone wants their lineup listed a certain way, that's cool with me. Just post what you want.

Gonna have Mohr and Kightlinger co-host Weekend Update.

Damn. Mohr would kill Update.
