Ego Nwodim’s year to step up at “Saturday Night Live.” And did she ever. After a major cast turnover last season, Nwodim is now one of the veteran cast members on the show — and one of its most utilized on-screen.  Nwodim found herself elevated to senior status as long-running “SNL” stars such as Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Pete Davidson, Kyle Mooney, Chris Redd and Melissa Villaseñor opted to exit. Cecily Strong followed suit midway through the season.  “To be part of such a strong, sturdy institution is already quite a wonder in itself,” Nwodim says. “But then to have people who are such pillars in that institution go, it feels like, ‘Is this going to work again? Is it going to feel the way it felt before? Is it going to feel better… or feel worse?’”

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Ellen Pompeo’s Meredith Grey had many love interests over 19 seasons of “Grey’s Anatomy,” from Patrick Dempsey’s Derek Shepherd to Scott Speedman’s Nick Marsh, but such constant relationship conflict ultimately became a source of frustration for the actor. During a “Grey’s” reunion interview with Katherine Heigl as part ofVariety’s “Actors on Actors” series, Pompeo lamented over Meredith’s lack of growth in her love life. “When you stay on a show and with a character that long…for me, I really need to make sense of things and I really need to see evolution and growth,” Pompeo said. “And with network television specifically, there has to be some consistency for the audience. The audience wants familiarity. The writers get stuck in the consistency of something, and it’s harder, which I always would argue against and say, ‘We have such an incredible fan base. They’re so loyal. They’ll literally come along with us no matter what we do.’ I think it’s okay for Meredith to stop making bad decisions.”

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic The traveling carnival known as Re:SET is so set on putting a brand new spin on the festival experience that it’s not even using that particular F-word in its name or advertising. Setting down at Brookside at the Rose Bowl over the weekend, it was a rose by any other name, but the concept is just novel enough (and just hard enough to explain in a user-friendly nutshell) that it counts as a semi-reinvention, and a welcome one: the festival as an a la carte buffet. LCD Soundsystem, Boygenius and Steve Lacy are the headliners for a three-day outing hitting different regions across the U.S., where local fans need not attend all three days (and in most cases, probably won’t), but get quite a smorgasbord if they do.
