Kam Patterson, the man who's about to tickle our funny bones on 'Saturday Night Live,' didn't jump at the chance as quickly as one might think. According to his dad, Kam took a week to decide whether he wanted to join the legendary SNL cast for its 51st season.

In a move that screams 'I have other plans,' Kam asked to start a tad later than the original September 12 date, aiming for September 22. Why, you ask? Well, he had some comedy gigs lined up in Las Vegas and Buffalo that he couldn't just ghost. Talk about a comedian committed to his craft!

Patterson, who made waves on Tony Hinchcliffe's popular podcast 'Kill Tony,' is hailed as a comedy phenomenon by none other than Hinchcliffe himself. With high praise from comedic royalty like Joe Rogan and Shane Gillis, Kam is surely bringing some serious humor to the SNL stage.

Besides cracking jokes live, Patterson is also set to shine on the silver screen in two upcoming comedies, working alongside SNL alum David Spade and Kevin Hart. This guy is clearly a busy bee with laughter as his honey!

Joining the SNL crew alongside other fresh faces like Ben Marshall and Veronika Slowikowska, Kam's debut on October 4 is highly anticipated. With all that comedic firepower, this season of SNL promises to be hilarious!
