Live from New York\u2026 it’s Marcello Hernandez! Get to know one of the new faces of ‘Saturday Night Live’s next season.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

The next generation of comedy has been announced. Ahead of Saturday Night Live<\/a>‘s<\/em>\u00a0season 48 premiere on Oct. 1, the long-running sketch comedy showcase introduced four new cast members.

“The pandemic sort of interfered with the national order of things,” creator and showrunner Lorne Michaels <\/strong>said about the recent changes, per Deadline<\/a>. “<\/em>I think there was a bonding; people got very close. When we did those at-home shows, you got to see everyone’s apartment where and how they lived. There was an intimacy and connection between audience and group. I couldn’t imagine we could work without that whole team, so we kept going.” Ahead of Season 48 \u2013 which will premiere with three consecutive shows \u2013 here’s the scoop on Marcello.<\/p>\n
