Saturday Night Live will kick off its fall season with two new cast members.
Jenny Slate and Nasim Pedrad — a pair of comedians with ties to the renowned Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre — have joined the show, according to reports.
Slate previously partnered with Gabe Liedman for the comedy show “Gabe & Jenny.” Pedrad, born in Tehran, Iran, once starred in a one-woman show, “Me, Myself & Iran.”
The 35th season of Saturday Night Live premieres Sept. 26, with a two-hour show hosted by Jennifer’s Body star Megan Fox and featuring musical guests U2.
