Saturday Night Live finally filled the crazy void left by Maya Rudolph, who joined the cast all the way back in 2000 and left seven years later.
Lorne Michaels and Co. have officially hired their first African-American cast member since Rudolph.
Her name is Sasheer Zamata, a UVA grad who performed with the Upright Citizens Brigade and appeared on Inside Amy Schumer.
Before Rudolph, there were a staggering TWO other black women featured regularly on the show – Danitra Vance in 1985 and Ellen Cleghorne in 1991.
Surprising, since the show has featured a fair amount of notable black penis-having comedians like Chris Rock, Tracy Morgan and Eddie Murphy.
Judging by the below YouTube video tweeted by Lena Dunham (who called it “crazy funny”), I think this Sasheer lady is going to kill it.
The Twist Gossip 
She’s cute.
Meanwhile, I haven’t sat through an episode of SNL for years. Last time I passed it channel surfing Jimmy Fallon was blowing a sketch by constantly looking into the camera and giggling at his own jokes.it was genuinely terrible.
