Women Rule "SNL"

The female cast members outshine the male cast members on "Saturday Night Live" this season. Tina Fey is the first female head writer on the show, and is also half of the Weekend Update duo. She joins up with Amy Poehler to co-anchor the fake news show. This is the first time in "SNL" history that there are only female anchors on Weekend Update. Women were always a part of the show, but were usually forced into the background by stronger male comedians. This female takeover marks a new, and hopefully better "SNL." Even though the show still has the best saturday night ratings (out of non-sports shows), the ratings have been slipping in recent years.
