The late-night sketch comedy 'Saturday Night Live' experienced a large cast shakeup before its Season 48 premiere, while prominent comedians such as Pete Davidson and Kate McKinnon left the show.
"The pandemic had put us in this position where no one could really leave, because there were no jobs," Michaels said, according to the New York Times.
Prominent cast members who exited the stage for good include Alex Moffat, Melissa Villaseñor and Aristotle Athari, as well as Aidy Bryant, Pete Davidson, Kate McKinnon and Kyle Mooney, who have been on the show for years.A few former "SNL" staff made the decision to leave and pursue other opportunities.NBC announced that Marcello Hernandez, Molly Kearney, Michael Longfellow and Devon Walker are joining the show.
They will join returning cast members Kenan Thompson, Heidi Gardner, Mikey Day, Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Fineman, James Austin, Punkie Johnson, Bowen Yang, Michael Che, Colin Jost, Ego Nwodim, Chris Redd, Sarah Sherman and Cecily Strong.The restructuring of the comedians is the biggest change to the size of the cast in nearly a decade.
