Saturday Night Live's Season 46 Cast

Saturday Night Live Is Back For Season 46 With 3 New Players — See Who's in the Cast!

Saturday Night Live is officially back for laughs with season 46! And yes, the late-night comedy sketch show will be taped at Studio 8H in New York City starting Oct. 3, even though the last three episodes of season 45 were filmed remotely. 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). Just in case you were wondering how long everyone's been around, we've done the research for you. If you're curious about who's officially gracing the stage this season and how many years they've been on Saturday Night Live, we've rounded up each and every cast member ahead!
