Barrie, Ont. Native Veronika Slowikowska Joins the Cast of ‘SNL’
Veronika Slowikowska, noted for viral comedy and TV roles, is the sole Canadian and female addition to SNL's 51st season amid several high-profile cast departures.
- Veronika Slowikowska, Canadian comic from Barrie, Ontario, will join Saturday Night Live as the only Canadian and woman among five new featured players for Season 51 premiere on Oct. 4.
- Last week several cast members announced departures, prompting SNL producers to add five new cast members, including after Heidi Gardner, Devon Walker, Emil Wakim and Michael Longfellow left.
- With a large social following and TV credits, Veronika Slowikowska has more than 1 million Instagram followers and roles in Poker Face, What We Do in the Shadows, and Tires.
- Fans reacted with anticipation as they look forward to Veronika Slowikowska's debut on SNL's Studio 8H stage, while Lorne Michaels said he would be `shaking things up` after four departures last week.
- Slowikowska's hire returns a Canadian presence that has been rare in recent years, since SNL leaned heavily on Canadian talent in its early decades but last featured Norm Macdonald, who left in 1998.
