reminder that season 32 was the same cast with maya instead of [very funny but badly misused] casey wilson and season 34 brings bobby moynihan, michaela watkins and abby elliott! seth’s entire tenure as head writer (which was for my 20s, not my teens!) is the best-ever run of SNL imo
It’s crazy that they managed with only three women and one person of color (edit: had to look it up and Fred is half Korean which I never would i have guessed). I can’t remember who the featuring cast was back then. I remember when they had Fred do Obama. That was wild even back then. And Bill and Andy’s hair take me back.
absolutely stacked cast, especially as time goes on. there’s like more than twenty Emmy nominations right there and that’s just from Barry and Ted Lasso lol
From the time when I was a teenager and all my friends and I made a point to watch every weekend. It seemed like there was at least one classic sketch in every episode.
This is my absolute favorite cast! ♥️♥️
Aww baby Forte
This really makes it clear how ridiculously big the current cast is
Arguably the absolute pinnacle .. and Kenan still going strong 🙂
Kenan is like the Jack Nicholson guy the old photo of the Outlook hotel.
This can’t be a cast photo. There aren’t 25 people in the photo….
Absolute stud cast + one person I don’t recognize.
and to think Kenan had been on that show for 18 years at that point, the guy never ages!
doesn’t get much better than this
So much talent in this photo. I grew up with Farley, Spade, McDonald, et al., but consider the cast posted above to be peak SNL at full power.

What’s Barry doing in there?
Oh look! There’s not 30 cast members!
This cast is what made me love SNL
If you took a photo of today’s cast you might need to back up a few miles
So small. Also had no idea Casey Wilson was on SNL.
Look at all of those actors who went on to lead critically acclaimed television shows. The pool of talent is ridiculous.
lol Keenan’s going for the hall of fame
Iconic
I still dress like Will Forte.
Am I out of style now? Am I the guy in 1996 that still had his 80’s mullet? I used to be with “it”, but then they changed what “it” was.
What I would give to have them all working for SNL again for just one day 😔 absolute favorite cast
That’s a great group.
absolutely stacked cast, especially as time goes on. there’s like more than twenty Emmy nominations right there and that’s just from Barry and Ted Lasso lol
I had no idea Casey Wilson was on SNL.
Everybody in this photo is a comedy hall of famer except Casey Wilson. Not that she isn’t talented, she just hasn’t reached that level, YET!
That “your high school cast is your favorite cast” is such absolute nonsense.
I will go to my grave talking about how underrated Casey Wilson is.
JAJ is the new Darrell Hammond
and Kenan Thompson is STILL here?!
A lot of people think this was the best cast. And it had 11 actors. Maybe a return to this formula wouldn’t be the worst idea.
Holy smokes! All killer no filler in this cast!
Oh what she saiiiiiiiaaiid
The small cast size near the beginning of their tenure was the best under the radar thing to happen this era’s cast.
