In the history of "SNL," there have been 19 full-time anchors of "Weekend Update" (renamed "SNL NewsBreak" and "Saturday Night News" during the Dick Ebersol era, from 1981 to 1985). If, as rumored, Seth Meyers leaves "SNL" at the end of this season to take over "Late Night" from Jimmy Fallon (who will be taking over "The Tonight Show" in 2014), the "Weekend Update" desk will be completely vacant for the first time in 13 years.
