Sasheer Zamata Joins the Cast of Saturday Night Live

Sasheer Zamata
On September 28th, NBC’s Saturday Night Live returned for its 39th season. As we do each year, we put the current cast through the PeekScore rigors to see how they shake out and compare, in terms of their various impacts and presences here on the Web. And, as of this latest update, the list includes just announced, newest cast member — and notably the first African American woman to be in the cast for over five years — Sasheer Zamata.

If you click through the items on the below list, you’ll be taken to the PeekYou profiles of the various funnypeople (actual, hoped for, and alleged alike); where you can learn more in depth about each, and even check out some video, and other multimedia goodies. Give it a shot.
