Comedian/actor Sasheer Zamata is set to be Saturday Night Live‘s first black female cast member since Maya Rudolph left 5 years ago.
Secret auditions were held last month to fill the “almost-offensively” missing demographic after SNL came under scrutiny for the lack of a black female presence within the cast. Zamata‘s first live episode will air on January 18 when Drake hosts and takes on the duties of musical guest.
