Ben Marshall of comedy trio Please Don’t Destroy — memorably described as “a sad Ron Weasley” by Taylor Swift in a 2022 sketch — has been promoted to a featured player on Saturday Night Live for his fifth season on the show, according to an NBC press release. Previously, he and his Please Don’t Destroy co-founders, John Higgins and Martin Herlihy, were writers who made pre-recorded videos for the show. (SNL has not yet confirmed the current status of Higgins and Herlihy.)

Four other performers will join the show as featured players, according to NBC: Tommy Brennan, Jeremy Culhane, Kam Patterson, and Veronika Slowikowska. Brennan, a Minnesota-born stand-up and actor who has performed on The Tonight Show, has described John Mulaney as his biggest hero, and was mentored by the late Louie Anderson. “The best advice he gave me was to write about yourself,” he said.

Jeremy Culhane is a Los Angeles-based performer who’s had viral success online, including a wildly popular 2023 TikTok about a man preparing for a date. “I find the best characters are a shade of yourself that you can lean into,” he said.

Patterson, a Kill Tony regular and Orlando, Florida native, stars alongside Kevin Hart in the upcoming Netflix movie 72 Hours. “I have a one-track mind about comedy,” he said recently.

Veronika Slowikowska is known for viral sketches on TikTok and Instagram, and has played roles on Tires and What We Do in the Shadows. She recently told Vulture which comedians’ careers she’d like to emulate: “maybe Adam Sandler. Doing a bit of everything and doing it with your friends and family seems awesome to me! And Donald Glover’s! The funny shows, the serious ones, the music! Very cool.”

It’s a season of change for Saturday Night Live, with Devon Walker, Heidi Gardner, Michael Longfellow, and Emil Wakim all leaving the cast. “Me and the show kind of looked at each other and we decided together that it was time to go our separate ways,” Walker told Rolling Stone.
