Even before Saturday Night Live’s 47th season ended, fans of the NBC sketch comedy show learned it would be the curtain call for repertory players Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Pete Davidson, and Kyle Mooney. And over the hiatus, repertory players Melissa Villaseñor, Alex Moffat, and Chris Redd announced their SNL exits, as did featured player Aristotle Athari. The departure of eight cast members represents a major shake-up for the show, but creator Lorne Michaels doesn’t seem worried—especially with the new talent coming in. “This is a year of reinvention,” Michaels told The New York Times last week. “And change is exhilarating.… If I don’t add new people every year, then the show isn’t the show. There have to be new people, for both our sake and also for the audience.” For Season 48, premiering October 1, Marcello Hernandez, Molly Kearney, Michael Longfellow, and Devon Walker are those new people.
