He is also listed as being in "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy", "Broken Lizard's the Slammin' Salmon" and "Party Boys". Will was also featured recently in How I Met Your Mother, and I read his name was submitted for consideration in the Emmy's, so keep an eye out in the Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series next Friday when nominations are announced!
Will is also part of Celebrity Autobiography: In Their Own Words, an hilarious NY show which returns Sep. 8th.
BILL HADER
Bill Hader is a busy bunny, which two completed films due for release soon; Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder. He has another film in post-production called Adventureland which co-stars fellow SNL-ER Kristen Wiig. He's also due to appear in sequels Night at the Museum 2 : Battle of the Smithsonian and Hoodwinked 2: Hood vs. Evil. Wow Bill, did I forget anything?

He is currently starring in a play called Beyond Therapy at the Bay Street Theater, NY until July 27th, so check it out :)
SETH MEYERS
Weekend Update co-anchor Seth Meyers can currently be seen in summer blockbuster Journey to the Center of The Earth alongside Brendan Fraser. He also features in the upcoming Spring Breakdown, and a film based on an SNL skit from a few years ago called Key Party has been announced. Seth is set to write & star in the flick, which if anything like the sketch which originally featured in an episode of SNL hosted by Colin Farrell, is sure to be hilarious. :)
AMY POEHLER
With a baby on the way, and a hit Nickelodeon cartoon under her belt, everything's coming up roses for Amy Poehler. Poehler is the co-creator of The Mighty B!, a Nickelodeon show about an over-achieving HoneyBee Scout called Bessie Higgenbottom, whom Amy also voices. Amy also stars in the upcoming film Spring Breakdown, and is also listed as starring in the sequel Hoodwinked 2 : Hood vs. Evil.

JASON SUDEIKIS
Jason was recently seen in What Happens in Vegas, and can be next seen in The Rocker which is out at the end of the month. He is also listed as being part of A Good Old Fashioned Orgy alongside Will Forte. The name alone made me laugh, so I can't wait to see this one :) Also, Jason MAY be in 30 Rock again next year. I didn't read that anywhere, I'm just saying, it's possible! For non 30 Rock fans, first of all, SHAME ON YOU, second of all, Jason played Floyd who was Tina Fey's character's love interest for a while. So, never say never!
Jason is also part of the company of Celebrity Autobiography : In Their Own Words, a hilarious NY show which sees comic stars read excerpts from celebrity autobiographies.

Kenan can also be heard in Space Chimps which opens next week as "Ringmaster". He is also filming a movie called Stan Helsing.
