Editing Weekend Update (section)

====Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey (2000–2004)====
Over the summer of 2000, cast members auditioned to be replacements. Among the candidates were stand-up comics [[Kevin Brennan (comedian)|Kevin Brennan]] and [[Jeffrey Ross]] plus two duos:{{nbsp}}[[Ana Gasteyer]] with [[Chris Parnell]], and [[Jimmy Fallon]] with writer [[Tina Fey]].<ref>Baldwin, Kristen (May 10, 2002), "Update with Destiny". ''Entertainment Weekly''. (653):26</ref> The latter duo was chosen, and they made their first on-air appearance that October. Fallon ended each ''Weekend Update'' sketch by throwing his pencil at the camera and cheering if he managed to hit it. Fey often signed off with Chase and Curtin's "Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow".

Recurring features of the Fallon/Fey era included the "''Update'' Door," a door on the left of the set where celebrities, as impersonated by ''SNL'' cast members (and at one time the [[Land Shark (Saturday Night Live)|Land Shark]]) would walk through to do a commentary—a segment called "Terrible ReEnactments", in which [[Chris Kattan]] would do an intentionally bad re-enactment of a news story that had occurred during the week (usually the story involved a celebrity being injured); and regular appearances from [[Jeff Richards (comedian)|Jeff Richards]]'s Drunk Girl character.

[[Chris Parnell]] announced the intro for the first season. He was then followed by future ''Update'' co-anchor [[Amy Poehler]].
