SNL finds its black woman, and it's Shasheer Zamata

[Still Benefited]

Shame them @ssholes HAD to be pressured to this. I was hoping Tiffany Hadish got the spot but oh well... Maybe there will be two black women next season.

I been seein her on Arsenio recently and ,maybe ill check her out but so far im just seein a loud obnoxious black chick playin a stereotype with no substance....got any of her best bits...I think Vanessa Fraction probably one of the the only female I find funny,i don't know if its a place for hood chicks on SNL for the fact it aint no hood black women that's really famous....they just need somebody to play Oprah and Michell..hood black women is a little too unfamiliar I think with that audience where they wont get it,hasnt quite been explored in mainstream America like the black male from the hood,where white folks still don't get it but they at least not so uncomfortable and foregin to it they cant tell when a joke is being made.

Really? I think these are one of her funniest bits she does:

But i checked out Vanessa, yeah she should be on there...

Her Nicki Minah reading Green Eggs and Ham was pretty funny

Who here actually watches SNL, really? Sets the DVR and record that shyt

I'm always "intrigued" but I don't go out my way to watch it.
They then reair on Hulu+ so I sometimes rewatch if its hosted by someone I'm interested in

Maya Rudolph always played a black woman (Whitney, Bey) on SNL and she never embarrassed black women as a whole. This woman will do fine and they won't embarrass her. She actually is going to get alot of attention which is unusual for the new cast members. It usually takes a few years for them to break out. Hope she takes advantage of this opportunity...

She'll fit right in. Swagless and cacified.

Does anyone watch SNL anymore? Why is that shyt even on tv?

Why do people keep saying this? Yes, it's one of the higher rated and most DVR'd shows on NBC.

I stopped watching after Kristen Wiig left, she was a funny writer tho

I hated Wiig on SNL; none of her characters were funny and she got way too much screen time.

you guys wondering why SNL is still on the air need a grip of reality. It gets great ratings, on Monday mornings, every news program shows highlights of last Saturday's SNL. It still gets A List guests to host at the hottest music acts to perform and it has NO competition. I'm not sure why yall are wondering why its still on. And now SNL (Lorne Michaels) runs all of NBC Late Night with Jimmy Fallon taking over the Tonight Show and Seth Meyers taking Fallon's spot...

And kudos to Keenan for forcing SNL's hand by telling them he wasn't dressing like a black woman anymore and it becoming a big story. That's what lead to them getting a black woman on the cast...

I ignore people online who regard there opinions as facts.

 

[Luchini]

she's actually pretty funny and her writing is good, i'll start watching to see how she does

It's too bad Keenan isn't doing the women roles anymore. I completely get why he doesn't want to do it and understand but he was hilarious in those roles. Like those skits about The View where he was Whoopi were co-me-dy. Keenan fukking up he had that Tyler Perry role on SNL, he would have been getting NBC checks for years.

Watch them put her in cac face

Exactly, these c00ning comments are unfounded and reactionary.

Kenan is far and away the best performer on there. He's good dog.

I thought Gilly was decent in a creeper sorta way & she got so much time I think cause she was a writer... I think that's how most do.
