Meet Sasheer Zamata, SNL's newest Cast Member


Great news!

Saturday Night Live has hired Sasheer Zamata, and she is Black! Last year, SNL was under fire for having a less than 5 Black female cast members in their 40 year history.

It got worst when Kenan Thompson claimed that Black women were never ready in auditions. Well, this is a new year and Sasheer will be the new edition to the cast.

She will start on the January 18 episode featuring Drake.

I wish her all the best

I wish her the best, but it really smacks of a hire to keep those of us who pointed out SNL's lack of diversity quiet.
