Saturday Night Live has added three new cast members after reaching deals with Chicago comedians Cecily Strong, Tim Robinson, and Aidy Bryant.
For the 38th season of SNL, comedians Cecily Strong, Tim Robinson and Aidy Bryant will be cast members of the popular NBC sketch comedy series. NBC made the announcement on Monday about the trio of new hires after the departures of Andy Samberg and Hristen Wiig last season.
Strong, Robinson and Bryant have been regulars on the Chicago comedy scene in various improv capacities within the famous Second City, which produced such former Saturday Night Live legends as Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, and more.
