Lorne Michaels is reportedly pumping new blood into the Saturday Night Live cast. The New York Post reports that Taran Killam, best known from Scrubs, and two young comedians from Chicago -- Paul Brittain and Vanessa Bayer -- have been signed to the cast, suggesting that some veterans won't be returning.

Will Forte has already confirmed his exit and the Post claims that Seth Meyers, Andy Samberg, Jason Sudeikis and Kenan Thompson are among those who have yet to hear their fate on the show.

Killam is the best-known newbie; in addition to his role on Scrubs, the 28-year-old has a year-old baby with longtime girlfriend, How I Met Your Mother's Cobie Smulders.

SNL's 36th season kicks off in late September.
