Originally joining SNL in the fall of 1998, fan-favorite cast member Chris Parnell was eventually removed from the show in 2001 due to ongoing budget cuts and the hiring of four new cast members on the show.
Opening up about his experiences being the only SNL cast member to be fired twice from the series, the 59-year-old Parnell told fellow SNL alum Jay Mohr that his initial dismissal and subsequent rehiring came as certainly surprising at the time.
At the time, Parnell said that he naturally assumed that SNL would bring back all of its established players following the end of season 26.
Fortunately, Parnell said that he kept hearing rumblings that Michaels would reverse his decision and rehire the comedian, allowing him to once again continue on as one of SNL's best players in the early to mid 2000s.
Throughout his tenure on SNL, Parnell remained known for playing the hilariously clueless straight man to many of the show's most energetic performers, including Will Ferrell, Rachel Dratch and Chris Kattan, as seen from his supporting role in the now iconic "More Cowbell" sketch.
