Meet The New Cast Members
SNL has recruited two new cast members for its Sept. 26 35th season premiere.
Jenny Slate, who appears in the “7th Floor West” sketches on the Lorne Michaels-produced “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,” has performed at the UCB Theatre, which gave us Horatio Sanz and Amy Poehler.
Nasim Pedrad, who played Nurse Suri on nine episodes of “ER,” is a vet of USB and the Groundlings, the outfit that gave us Laraine Newman, Jon Lovitz, Phil Hartman, Jan Hooks, Mike Myers, Julia Sweeney, Will Ferrell, Cheri Oteri, Ana Gasteyer, Chris Parnell, Maya Rudolph, Jimmy Fallon, Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, Michaela Watkins and Abby Elliott.
