Saturday
Night Live
Debut
(AP) - Sasheer Zamata made
a low-key but notable debut on
"Saturday Night Live" as the
first black female cast member
since 2007.
As usual for a "SNL" new­
comer, Zamata kept a low pro­
file on last Saturday's broadcast.
She participated in sketches in
roles including Rihanna and a
teenager at a slumber party.
The 27-year-old comedian and
improv performer was signed
earlier this month in the wake of
criticism of "SNL" for its lack of
ethnic diversity. Black male cast
members Kenan Thompson and
Jay Pharoah were among those
voicing complaints last fall.
The NBC series has had only
four black women cast mem­
bers in its 39 seasons. The most
recent was Maya Rudolph. The
biracial actress left in 2007.
The show has also recently
hired two black female writers.
