Welcome to the third episode of Point / Counter-Point, a debate show that features esteemed SNL panelists debating various Saturday Night Live topics.

Tonight's debate topics include: 1) Should SNL add any new cast members for season 49 and if so, how many? 2) Which cast member is going to take the biggest leap forward next season? 3) With Kenan Thompson going into his 20th season, should he be considered one of the greatest cast members of all time? Is he a top-5 cast member of all-time? 4) Should SNL bring back recurring characters? 5) Between Pete Davidson, Kieran Culkin, and Jennifer Coolidge, which host do you for sure want to see host in Season 49? 6) One wish you have for how SNL will cover the 2024 election?
