Our friends at the AV Club have some great videos to give you a look at some of these new cast members.
Additionally, it was announced today that College Humor writer Brooks Whelan and SNL staff writer Mike O'Brien will also be joining the cast.
In order to make room for this newly overstuffed troupe, Tim Robinson, who never quite caught on with audiences as most of his niche was already filled by Bobby Moynihan, will be moving into the writers room, and more interestingly, Cecily Strong will be joining Seth Meyers at the "Weekend Update" desk. This move will likely leave her as the "heir apparent" for the solo job once Meyers decides to leave, which is only a matter of time given his new duties as host of "Late Night" on NBC.
SNL has been treading water for a few seasons now, some new blood is very welcome.
