You know it’s about to be fall—or at least the fall TV season—when Saturday Night Live announces new cast members. The show tends to pick up about three newbies a year, but the annual tradition is just a bit more festive going into the show’s historic 50th season. NBC’s flagship comedy surely has some exciting surprises and celebrations in store for the next year, but it starts here with the addition of three young comics: Ashley Padilla, Emil Wakim, and Jane Wickline.
Per Variety, Padilla has been a member of the Groundlings since 2021 and has made appearances on Curb Your Enthusiasm and Night Court. Emil Wakim is an actor, writer, and stand-up comedian who was named the New Face of Comedy at the 2022 Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, and has performed on The Tonight Show. Jane Wickline is a sketch comedy performer known for her character work on TikTok.
