If you thought the cast of Saturday Night Live couldn’t get any bigger, you thought wrong. In an interview with Vulture, SNL creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels revealed that the long-running NBC show has added three featured players to the cast for season 46. The news follows the show’s September 15 announcement that the entire cast from season 45 will return to SNL this fall, which means the cast will be comprised of a whopping 20 members for season 46.
Returning featured players Bowen Yang and Chloe Fineman will be joined by the three new hires. (Ego Nwodim, who was a featured player last season, has been promoted to repertory player for season 46.) The new cast includes Los Angeles–based UCB alum Lauren Holt, L.A. stand-up Punkie Johnson, and Andrew Dismukes, who was hired as an SNL writer for season 43 in 2017 and co-wrote the “Del Taco Shoot” sketch with Kyle Mooney and Beck Bennett. Here’s more info on each new cast member from NBC:
- Lauren Holt is an actor, comedian, singer, and improviser. She was a house performer at the Upright Citizens Brigade theater in Los Angeles and starred in the independent web series The Filth and in the short film Parent Teacher Conference, for which she received a Best Actress nomination at the Atlanta Comedy Film Festival.
- Punkie Johnson is a comedian and writer whose recent credits include Space Force, Corporate, Adam Ruins Everything, and Bill Burr Presents: The Ringers. She was a New Face at the Just for Laughs festival in 2019 and is a proud paid regular at the world-famous Comedy Store in Hollywood.
- Andrew Dismukes has served as an SNL staff writer since season 43. He is a stand-up comedian who was selected for the 2017 New Faces Showcase at the Just for Laughs festival and has performed at other festivals including Comedy Central’s Colossal Clusterfest and the New York Comedy Festival.
Michaels also revealed to Vulture a big promotion on the SNL writing staff: Anna Drezen, who previously served as a supervising writer, has been bumped up to co–head writer, joining Colin Jost, Michael Che, and Kent Sublette.

Has it been announced if they will be in studio when the season starts?

I absolutely hate the shift from Jason Sudekis to Jim Carey to play Biden. Very disappointed.

I live in Baltimore. That's more of an old-school Baltimore accent rather than PA (though the Wawa and hoagie ones are spot-on).

Oh yeah. "wooder" for water, "zink" for sink, "door-dur" for daughter. It's very 1950s/60s Baltimore. My grandma is a prime example.

That's fantastic! I find that stuff so interesting. Being from Connecticut, I battle the stereotype that we all sound like we are from Boston. In reality, people in CT don't have any kind of accent, at least not anything really noticeable like Boston. We are in between 2 states with very distinct accents with New York being to the south of us.

Very true. If anything, I suppose folks from CT have more of a NY accent. lol You would not believe how many folks think I have a "Boston" accent in, Arizona. Of course, I lived the bulk of my life in NY. People here have no idea whatsoever. I suppose geography is to blame, but man!!! LOL Also, for the record, it seems that no one from west of the Missisippi knows how to serve a freaking "Hot Dog" from a street vendor!!! I got one with saurkraut and it was cold!!! I told the guy. "Look at the can, it says heat before serving"!! lol Kinda the same with, Pizza. no one folds it in half out here. lol

There are a few towns down near NY where you can hear the accent a bit.

That's interesting. I've never really heard of a CT accent either, so maybe it's a case of people coming from a heavily-accented place (Boston, New York, etc.) and noticing an absence of an accent in CT. The only stereotype of CT I know is the whole Westport rich people thing.

They brought him back.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
