SNL Fans Should Get Excited For These Four New Featured Players

According to the official “Saturday Night Live” Twitter, the sketch comedy series has officially added four brand new cast members to its ever-fluctuating roster. The new players are: Marcello Hernandez, Molly Kearney, Michael Longfellow, and Devon Walker. Obviously, this is intended to replace the heavy losses the show has endured as of late, but it’s also just a really smart move to add some new blood from time to time to freshen up the series.

Like previous new additions, these new featured players are not without experience in the world of comedy. Longfellow has shown off his comedic chops on shows like “Conan” and “Laugh After Dark,” while Kearney played Fern Dannely in an episode of Amazon Prime’s “A League of Their Own.” Walker, meanwhile, has had his own “Comedy Central Stand-Up Featuring” episode, and as noted by Deadline, Hernandez opened for the late Gilbert Gottfried. 

Naturally, time will tell how well these new comedians fare on a show like “Saturday Night Live,” but for now, fans have a lot to be excited about when it comes to the future of the sketch series.
