For Saturday Night Live director Liz Patrick, Season 51 was a breeze compared to last year. "It was a really ambitious sketch," says Patrick of "Edge of Destiny," which required multiple cast members to fall down a flight of steps. "That was a very ambitious live sketch," Patrick explains. Every year there are cast departures, and this season saw the exit of both Bowen Yang and Chloe Fineman. Yang's farewell episode with Ariana Grande and Cher "was really special and sweet, and I really enjoyed working with them."
