The upcoming 45th season of Saturday Night Live is already shaping up to be one of the show’s most interesting. Of course, between former cast member Eddie Murphy’s triumphant return to Studio 8H to serve as guest host, Leslie Jones’ departure after five years on the program, and Alec Baldwin’s unwillingness to portray President Donald Trump, “interesting” is only one of many words that we can use to describe SNL‘s next season. Thankfully, as indicated by the variety series on Thursday, there will be some new faces and voices to help us choose the best ones.
In a press release and a tweet from its official account, SNL announced that comedians Chloe Fineman, Shane Gillis, and Bowen Yang would be joining the series as featured players for season 45.
