SNL 51 Cast: Who are there in Saturday Night Live?

In August, Lorne Michaels, the show's creator, hinted that an overhaul was looming. And five cast members departed ahead of the new season: Heidi Gardner, a veteran of eight seasons; Ego Nwodim, a veteran of seven seasons; Michael Longfellow and Devon Walker, who both joined for Season 48; and Emil Wakim, who had just one season on the program.

Five new performers will be added in their place: Tommy Brennan, Jeremy Culhane, Ben Marshall, Kam Patterson and Veronika Slowikowska.

Marshall is new to the official cast but has already been a steady presence on the show, appearing in digital shorts as a member of the comedy trio Please Don't Destroy, along with John Higgins and Martin Herlihy. But in September, a day after "SNL" announced Marshall's addition to the cast, Higgins announced that the group would stop making shorts for the NBC sketch show.

The incoming class made their names on a mix of traditional and new platforms, including performing at comedy clubs or as part of improv and sketch theaters, as well as creating and posting original sketches, skits or bits on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.
