"Saturday Night Live" has elevated its talent producer Keri Powers to head the show's talent department and increased the responsibilities of Rebecca Schwartz, both ahead of the Season 52 premiere. Powers, who has been with the show for 12 years, will oversee bookings for hosts, musical guests, and guest stars. Schwartz, a member of the talent team since 2015, will continue supporting the cast and production efforts.
The move comes as the show returns with New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson as host and KATSEYE as musical guest. New cast members Saidah Belo-Osagie and Grace Reiter joined last week, while Ashley Padilla and Jane Wickline were promoted to main cast. Chloe Fineman, a longtime cast member, exited after seven seasons, and Martin Herlihy left his writer position.
Upcoming episodes include premieres with Dakota Johnson, Shane Gillis, and Inde Navarrette, among others. "SNL" airs weekly on NBC and Peacock.
