With its 47th season looming on the horizon, SNL has added three new star players to its cast. Sarah Sherman, Aristotle Athari and James Austin Johnson will be heading to Studio 8H for the upcoming season premiere on October 2, where they will join first-time host Owen Wilson being totally new to the series. They will also join star players Andrew Dismukes and Punkie Johnson, while Chloe Fineman and Bowen “Iceberg” Yang have been promoted to repertoire players.
Sarah Sherman, better known online as Sarah Squirm, was on our 2018 list of Comedians You Should and Will Know. Her 2018 Adult Swim infomercial will haunt your dreams, and her most recent short for Means TV, Sarah vaccine, will make you pray for the SNL accessories department.
Aristotle Athari may sound familiar to Silicon Valley fans, having portrayed the infamous programmer Gabe in chair pants in season six. But Gabe is just one of the many characters Athari brought to life. He’s also a member of Hasan Minaj’s sketch group Goatface, whose hour-long special aired on Comedy Central in 2018. To really get a feel for his lineup, though, you’ll want to take a look at sound 2021 Just for Laughs New Faces: Characters below.
James Austin Johnson is a man with three names and many faces. You probably recognize him by his laid back demeanor but very good impressions of Trump, but Johnson is a talented impressionist overall, so we’d expect to see him a lot in the show’s cold openings. He also created a documentary about his move to Austin earlier this year, which he actually didn’t.
With the additions come some subtractions. Beck Bennett, who joined the show as the star player for Season 39 in 2013, is not returning for Season 47, although his Good Neighbor collaborator Kyle Mooney remains around. Lauren Holt, who joined the series at the start of Season 46 as a star player, will not be returning either. With a total of 21 cast members this should be an even bigger cast than the very large cast (20 people!)
