Saturday Night Live — Season 26
The 2000-2001 television season saw *Saturday Night Live* celebrate its twenty-sixth year, delivering a lively run of 20 episodes between October 7, 2000, and May 19, 2001. The season marked a period of transition for the show, as beloved cast members Cheri Oteri, Colin Quinn, and Tim Meadows departed, making room for fresh faces. Stepping in were featured players Tina Fey, already an integral part of *SNL* as head writer since 1999, and Second City alum Jerry Minor. Rachel Dratch and Maya Rudolph continued their roles as featured players. A bittersweet note fell mid-season with Molly Shannon’s departure, while Chris Parnell and Jerry Minor were released after the season concluded—a decision Lorne Michaels later acknowledged was a mistake, leading to Parnell's eventual return. To fill the void left by Colin Quinn on *Weekend Update*, executive producer Lorne Michaels opted for a nostalgic move, reviving the two-anchor format reminiscent of the show’s 1970s heyday. Jimmy Fallon joined forces with head writer Tina Fey at the anchor desk, though Fey's demanding writing duties meant her appearances were largely confined to the segment itself.
