A thorough breakdown of every cast member’s contributions to SNL this season
The cast of SNL season 45. Photo: Mary Ellen Matthews/NBC The weirdest season of Saturday Night Live since the one with Anthony Michael Hall is over. It began with the one-two punch of hiring and then firing Shane Gillis , and it ended trapped in its own apartment complex, like Olivia de Havilland in Lady in a Cage. Eddie Murphy returned to the show that he saved in the 1980s, and a crowded Democratic primary made room for plenty of impersonations and stunt casting. Especially stunt casting.
Here’s how we broke down every cast member’s contributions: The SNL point system was first designed by Erik Voss and brought into the digital video age by moi. One point is awarded just for showing up. Michael Che and Colin Jost were on the cover of SNL Magazine in a Kyle Mooney pretape — that’s a point! Two points are awarded for delivering a few jokes and three for carrying the sketch.
We also looked at who got “Cut for Time” the most. Nearly every week, a few sketches get cut between dress rehearsal and the live event. And on top of that, SNL has been releasing “Digital Exclusive” content this season. What makes these sketches different from the ones cut for time? Unclear! Either way, it’s fun to look at these to see what could have been on the air.
This was the season during which SNL’s cameo problem really metastasized. Former cast members returned to play Biden and Bloomberg, Kamala and Klobby. They showed up in the monologues of alums like Will Ferrell and Murphy. And in the last live episode of the season, Debbie Downer came back to bum us all out about the coronavirus.
