It’s been a summer of change for Saturday Night Live.
Five cast members have exited the show — stalwarts Ego Nwodim and Heidi Gardner, along with Michael Longfellow, Devon Walker, and Emil Wakim — while the series welcomes five new comedians to the cast: Tommy Brennan, Jeremy Culhane, Kam Patterson, Veronika Slowikowska, and “Please Don’t Destroy’s” Ben Marshall.
We also know the first three hosts for the show’s historic 51st season. The season premiere will be hosted by Bad Bunny (with musical guest Doja Cat), while the second episode features the return of SNL favorite Amy Poehler (with musical guest Role Model).
