Saturday Night Live debuted a meta skit laughing at itself during its 48th season. Top Gun: Miles Teller pretended to be former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning as he reflected on the skit that was unfolding before him. John Hamm, the three-time SNL host, also appeared to provide a 'analysis.'

Kate McKinnon and Pete Davidson, two top-right, departing cast members, are missing. Kyle Mooney and Aidy Bryant are on the right, with Aidy Bryant on the bottom right.

Chris Redd, another Saturday Night Live cast member, has departed just under two weeks before the Season 48 premiere. The 37-year-old comedian debuted as a featured actor on Season 43 in 2017 and was promoted to repertory actor in Season 45 in 2019. Redd's departure makes him the eighth cast member to leave between May and Season 48, debuting October 1.

The first non-binary cast member of Saturday Night Live has been added to the cast. Molly Kearney, a comedian who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will appear in the forthcoming 48th season of the sketch show. The news comes amid widespread exodus of veteran cast members, including fan-favorites Pete Davidson and Kate McKinnon.

Casey Davidson, 25, a 25-year-old girl and her SNL alum brother Scott Davidson, died after rushing into the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, sharing numerous snapshots of her father and her father 21 years after his untimely death. Scott was 33 years old when he and five other firefighters from Ladder Company 118 in Brooklyn Heights sprinted across the Brooklyn Bridge to save the thousands of office employees and hotel guests inside. Scott's crew was seen scaling the stairs of the Marriott World Trade Center Hotel in building 3 of the WTC complex shortly before the second plane crashed the South Tower at 9:03 a.m., just 17 minutes after the first plane was struck. The hotel was tragically destroyed when the towers fell just seconds later, leaving the six firefighters dead. Both siblings have expressed profound sadness as a result of their father's tragic death, with Pete, who recently split with A-list ex Kim Kardashian and left Saturday Night Live, saying Scott's death prompted his earlier struggles with suicide and depression. Casey, a four-year-old girl who is four years younger than her comedian brother, said that she still mourned her dad more than two decades after his death and that she is proud to be his daughter.

When season 48 premieres later this fall, the cast of Saturday Night Live will be notably different. According to Deadline on Thursday, regular cast members Alex Moffat and Melissa Villaseor have all left the long-running sketch comedy series, as well as featured actor Aristotle Athari. Pete Davidson, Aidy Bryant, Kate McKinnon, and Kyle Mooney's departures will drastically alter the cast's makeup.
