Andrew Dismukes is a stand-up comedian, writer, and actor. This year, he returned to "Saturday Night Live" for his third season as a cast member after starting on the show as a staff writer in Season 43. He is a series regular in the forthcoming Amazon animated original, “The Hospital,” alongside Maya Rudolph, Natasha Lyonne, Kieran Culkin, and more. Andrew started performing stand-up comedy in Austin, TX while studying at the University of Texas where he received a B.S. in radio, television, and film. He has performed all across North America and the UK. In 2017, he was named one of the New Faces at the Just For Laughs Festival. He's also performed at the Moon Tower Comedy Festival, the Dublin Comedy Festival, Clusterfest, and the New York Comedy Festival, to name a few.
James Austin Johnson is a comedian originally from Nashville and a cast member on “Saturday Night Live.” The New York Times has called him “one of SNL’s most versatile celebrity impressionists.” His spot-on impression of Trump paired with his improvisational ramblings about Weird Al, Julia Louis Dreyfus, and Scooby-Doo have garnered over 5 million views, with profiles on James in Vanity Fair, Slate, Mashable, and VICE to name a few. As an actor, James' TV/Film credits include “Future Man,” “Baskets,” Robbie,” “Better Call Saul,” “The Last Tycoon,” and the Coen Brothers’ feature, “Hail, Caesar!.” As a stand-up, James has performed on the Vice series “Flophouse,” as well as Riot LA and Just For Laughs as a New Face. He currently voices the Grinch on Wondery’s “‘Tis The Grinch Holiday Talk Show.”
Devon Walker is a stand-up comedian and writer best known as a current cast member on “Saturday Night Live.” He acts, too, but he doesn't want to be associated with that community. Previously, Devon wrote for the hit Netflix animated series “Big Mouth” and the Freeform series "Everything’s Trash" starring Phoebe Robinson. Originally from Austin, TX, and now based in New York, Devon has been featured on Comedy Central and was listed as one of Vulture's Comedians You Should And WILL Know in 2022. Devon's hourlong interactive show 'Come and Talk to Me' will be touring the East Coast this summer and is "lowkey really good" according to audience members who have seen it.
