Shane Gillis is a stand-up who was highlighted as a “New Face” at the 2019 Just for Laughs Festival, and Chloe Fineman is a veteran of L.A.’s Groundlings troupe, who impressions of Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams, and Democrat presidential candidate Marianne Williamson can be seen on Instagram — and would be a natural fit for SNL.

Saturday Night Live returns on September 28 with returning host Woody Harrelson and first-time musical guest Billie Eilish.
