Big changes are unfolding for NBC’s iconic late-night sketch show, "Saturday Night Live," as it gears up for its landmark 50th season. The latest cast shake-up includes the promotion of three featured players and the addition of three new comedians, while Chloe Troast, a recent addition to the cast, departs the show.
Chloe Troast, who joined SNL last season as a featured player, will not be returning for the milestone 50th season. Troast shared her feelings about the departure on Instagram, expressing her disappointment and appreciation for the time she spent on the show. “Unfortunately, I was not asked back to SNL this season,” she wrote. “I wish I was going back to be with all the amazing friends I made there; it truly felt like home.

In a significant shift for the show, Marcello Hernandez, Michael Longfellow, and Devon Walker are being promoted from featured players to the main cast. Their elevation reflects their growing impact on the show and adds to the anticipation for the upcoming season. Hernandez, Longfellow, and Walker’s promotions are part of a broader cast overhaul that includes the introduction of fresh talent.
Joining SNL for its 50th season are Ashley Padilla, Emil Wakim, and Jane Wickline. Each brings a unique background and fresh energy to the show. Ashley Padilla, a prominent member of The Groundlings, has made notable guest appearances on shows like HBO’s "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and NBC’s "Night Court." Emil Wakim, a Lebanese-American stand-up comedian, gained recognition with his TV debut on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and has performed alongside comedians such as Roy Wood Jr. and Hasan Minhaj. Jane Wickline, known for her popular TikTok sketches and her role on the live show "Stapleview," adds a modern, social media-driven perspective to the cast.
These changes come as SNL prepares for its 50th season premiere on September 28, 2024. The show will be marked by a series of celebrations and high-profile guest appearances. Notably, alumna Maya Rudolph will return to reprise her popular Kamala Harris impersonation, adding to the excitement surrounding the season. The new season promises a blend of familiar faces and new energy, setting the stage for a memorable milestone year.
As SNL continues to adapt and innovate, the cast transitions underscore the dynamic nature of the show and its ability to stay relevant in the fast-evolving world of comedy. With new talent joining the ranks and veteran cast members stepping into more prominent roles, SNL’s 50th season is poised to be a remarkable chapter in the show's storied history.
