As a longtime fan of *Saturday Night Live*, I was a little worried about the cast shakeup for Season 51, but Lorne Michaels seems pretty relaxed about it, and that makes me feel better. He explained on the Emmys red carpet that the show *needs* to constantly refresh itself with new faces and different generations – it’s how it stays alive. Basically, cast changes are just a natural part of *SNL*’s cycle, and this year means saying goodbye to Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim, Michael Longfellow, Emil Wakim, and Devon Walker. He admitted it’s tough when people leave, but he also pointed out that the audience is always getting younger, especially with TikTok becoming so popular. It’s reassuring to hear him talk about it this way – it feels like the show is in good hands and will continue to evolve.

Saturday Night Live has added five new comedians to its cast: Veronika Slowikowska, known for her TikTok sketches; Kam Patterson, a regular on the show *Kill Tony*; stand-up comedian Tommy Brennan; Jeremy Culhane, who stars on *Dropout*; and Ben Marshall, whose comedy group Please Don’t Destroy previously created popular short videos for *SNL* between 2021 and 2025. This means some cast members left to make room for the new additions. Producer Lorne Michaels says he’s enthusiastic about the new talent, but jokingly wonders if they can handle a slightly off-key performance of ‘Espresso’ at a wedding.
