Why is this news?
I looked at cnn.com today and there was an item "Former SNL comedian commits suicide." It turns out it was a guy names Charles Rocket, who was on the show for one year, a quarter of a century ago. It was the horrible first season after the original cast left.
Is the death of one of the least memorable cast members in SNL history news? Or is it news only because he killed himself? If he'd died of a heart attack would we have heard about it? He sure wasn't Chris Farley or Gilda Radner.

Wow! It is news to me and I'm glad you posted it, because I hadn't seen it yet. I loved Charles Rocket -- his firing was actually when I stopped watching SNL for good. He's been on a ton of shows since then, usually only in larger guest roles, or several-episode arcs.
Are you sure you aren't thinking of Chris Rock?
