SNL recently auditioned three Black women in an attempt to fill its diversity gap, but none were selected for the upcoming Season 51. This effort follows a history of criticism regarding the show's lack of representation, particularly in the fall of 2013. Despite the auditions, the show will not feature any Black women this season following the departure of Ego Nwodim. With her exit, the cast remains without female representation of color, although it includes several men of color. It's unclear if new additions will be made or if existing staff will be promoted to address this gap.
