The day-old cast of Saturday Night Live got their first taste of NBC fame: at a party to honor the network’s fall lineup, the newbies raised a glass at the __Top of the Standard__for the first time since being confirmed to the world on Sunday. The long-running variety show, which bows its new season September 28 (Tina Fey hosting!), invited six comedians to join its cast this year after Lorne Michaels completed an exhaustive, summer-long search; the incoming group marks the largest since 1995, when Will Ferrell joined the cast. Rookies like __Noël Wells, Kyle Mooney, Beck Bennett,and digital-short director__Dave McCary joined existing players Aidy Bryant, Jay Pharoah, Nasim Pedrad, and Vanessa Bayer at the NBC/Vanity Fair co-hosted bash, alongside guests like Paul Haggis, Alec Baldwin, Jewel, Michael J. Fox, Giada de Laurentiis, Martha Stewart, Helena Christensen, Archie Panjabi, and others. While tequila-whisperers mixed custom Patron creations, funnyman __Judah Friedlander__asked Doutzen Kroes for a picture (we saw you stand on your tiptoes, Judah!) and the young cast of the Michael J. Fox show charmed guests, including adorable eight-year-old Jack Gore. Click to see photos from the event.
