A native of Cleveland, they have appeared in Disney+’s “The Mighty Ducks” and Comedy Central’s “Up Next” showcase in 2019.

Longfellow has appeared on Netflix’s “Introducing…” and NBC’s “Bring the Funny.” Hernandez was chosen as a Just for Laughs New Face of Comedy in 2022 and Walker, who was in Comedy Central’s “Up Next” showcase in 2017, has written for Freeform’s “Everything’s Trash” and Netflix’s “Big Mouth.”
The show’s additions come after a heavy turnover among the cast.
Aidy Bryant and Kate McKinnon left the show last spring, as did Kyle Mooney and perhaps the series’ most high-profile star, Pete Davidson. Recently, Alex Moffat, Melissa Villaseñor and Aristotle Athari also exited the show.
“Saturday Night Live” returns for its 48th season on Oct. 1. A host and musical guest have not been announced. Fans of the show have recently campaigned online for Carol Burnett to serve as host for an episode, but there has been no official word on whether that will happen.
