“Saturday Night Live” cast member Ego Nwodim likened the most recent season of NBC’s late night mainstay to her senior year. “It felt like there was some real room to play because of the exodus that occurred with the writing staff and the cast [after Season 47], but also the new cast members were such an incredible injection of new energy, perspectives, and points of view,” said the sketch comedy star to IndieWire over Zoom.
