The churn at SNL
-
Not sure I understand the issue here. The coming and going has been the norm for SNL since its inception. It's been the springboard for a whole lot of careers.

I know I'm a dinosaur, but has anybody in the last decade achieved any level of stardom? Or last 15 years?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Fey was last on in 2006. Meyers would work, he was last on in 2014.
The other guys, I don't know.

Sudeikis id the only one in that list that I can actually say I’ve found amusing.

Sudeikis is starring in Ted Lasso - Three Emmy awards
Bill Hader stars in "Barry" a very dark comedy (?) about a hitman.
Tina Fey's been all over TV, and yeah, that's 16 years, not 15, LOL.
Armisen - "Portlandia"
Maya Rudolph (Minnie Ripperton's daughter, btw) is currently starring in "Loot." an Apple TV comedy.So, yeah, there's been successes, to be sure.
However, I have to agree, for the most part with @copper.

Music nowadays is terrible too. And don’t get me started on modern fashion!

There have definitely been some core "groups" that generally started and stopped about the same time, and I would argue made some of the better seasons of SNL... late 70s, mid-80s, mid-90s, and late 2000s... but there is a larger cast it seems lately, with changes, so it does feel less consistent.
I think also SNL faces an insane amount of streaming/alternate pressures that no longer makes it a weekly staple of entertainment that some used to rely on it for.
That being said, I watched a little bit of it last weekend for the first time in probably 10 years. Ironic.
