NBC on Thursday announced three brand-new faces for its upcoming 45th season of Saturday Night Live — including comedian Bowen Yang, who is now the first Asian cast member to join the long-running sketch comedy show.

Yang, who hosts the hilarious Las Culturistas podcast with his friend and fellow comedian Matt Rogers, joined SNL in 2018 as a staff writer.

Fred Armisen, who appeared on the show from 2002 through 2013, was of Asian descent — his grandfather was Korean — and another former castmate, Rob Schneider, is one-quarter Filipino. But Yang fills a noticeable void of Asian inclusion on what has historically been a white cast.

In addition to Yang, Chloe Fineman and Shane Gillis are also joining the cast.

Both Fineman and Gillis were each named a "New Face" at the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Fineman is also a regular performer at the Groundlings improv theater.
