SNL's Representation Emergency: Sherri Shepherd Speaks Out
Update: 2025-10-06
Description
Sherri Shepherd calls out Saturday Night Live for its lack of Black women after Ego Nwodim's exit, highlighting the show's history of misrepresentation and urging them to cast a Black woman immediately. Shepherd recounts instances where SNL had to use male cast members in drag to portray Black women due to the lack of diversity, and suggests several talented Black female comedians ready for the opportunity. With only eight Black women ever in the main cast in SNL's fifty-year history, the pressure is on for the show to reflect the world today.
