Joining cast of SNL

She didn't surpass Michael McKean, but rather she surpassed original cast member George Coe, who was about 8 days older than Michael McKean when he joined the cast. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fgoron2000 (talk • contribs) 08:23, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We don't list the day of the week for birthdays. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 14:51, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since it's anonymous IPs who kept making this edit until it had to be semi-protected - so there's no personal Talk page to engage on - and they seem to think the references are the problem and need "reviewed," I just wanted to add an additional editor's note here in support of NorthbySouthBaranof's reply/actions. The references are irrelevant, and were never the matter for dispute. We do not list the day of the week that people were born on, unless it's encyclopedically relevant. And about the only example I can think of, where it would be, is if a person was born on Friday the 13th and then starred in one of the Friday on 13th movies. And even that would be pushing the boundaries of trivia. CleverTitania (talk) 21:33, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
