After YEARS of criticism and a round of private auditions SNL held last month looking for their first African American female to join the show since 2007, the legendary show has finally announced their newest addition Sasheer Zamata.

According to Reports:

Sasheer is an actress, writer, improviser and stand up comedian who graduated from the University of Virginia. According to her bio, she trained at Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York and has been featured in Jezebel, Hairpin, Vulture, Think Progress, Clutch Magazine, Time Out New York and The New York Times.

She also writes and performs in a webseries called “Fodder” on The Cooking Channel and appears in sketches on Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell on FX, and Inside Amy Schumer on Comedy Central.

She’ll make her debut on January 18 with Drake as host and musical guest.

Congrats to Sasheer and lets hope SNL can make room for a few more ladies and gents of color, we are getting tired of Kenan playing EVERY black role as well. Peep Sasheer’s work below!
