Prior to the start of the season many cast changes occurred. Will Forte who had been with the show since 2002 announced on August 26 2010 that he would be leaving the show. Featured player Jenny Slate was let go from the show after only one season. Abby Elliott and Bobby Moynihan were promoted to repertory status becoming the first featured players to be promoted since 2006. The show hired four new cast members: Chicago improvisers Vanessa Bayer and Paul Brittain from ImprovOlympic; stand-up comic/impressionist Jay Pharoah; and comedic actor Taran Killam of The Groundlings who like Jeff Richards was a former cast member on SNL's rival sketch show MADtv.
