Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, things will look a little different this time around, with safety precautions closely overseen by Governor Andrew Cuomo's team. The cast itself has changed up as well, with three new featured players. Joining seasoned cast members like Kate McKinnon and Kenan Thompson are Andrew Dismukes, Lauren Holt, and Punkie Johnson. This brings Saturday Night Live to a whopping cast of 20 overall (and that's not even including Jim Carrey, who will appear as Joe Biden).
