| Nasim Pedrad |
After next season,
Will Ferrell (who was born and raised in Irvine) and
Jon Lovitz (who got a bachelor's degree from UCI) will not be the only
Saturday Night Live alums with ties to Orange County's Stepford.
Jezebel.com reports that former Irvine resident
Nasim Pedrad is one of two women who will be added to next season's
SNL cast--and she will be the 147-year-old show's first Iranian-American.
Along with the addition of Brooklyn comic
Jenny Slate, Pedrad "brings the [male to female] ratio to 4:3-perhaps the best for women in
SNL's
35-year history,"
Rachel Sklar writes on
Mediaite. (Okay, so I was off on how old
SNL is. Well,
excuuuuuuuuse me!)
