Kenan Thompson Says ‘You Gotta Pay Your Dues’ After Pete Davidson Reveals ‘SNL’ Starting Salary Was $3,000 per Episode


Kenan Thompson says that SNL cast members have to pay their dues following Pete Davidson's comments that cast members get paid $3,000 per episode.

Thompson was joined by fellow “SNL” cast members Bowen Yang, Colin Jost, Chloe Fineman, Sarah Sherman, Heidi Gardner, and Marcello Hernandez at the New York City museum’s star-studded gala on Thursday night. Other bold-faced names in attendance include Paul Mescal, who will make his “SNL” hosting debut this weekend, alongside Lorne Michaels, Scarlett Johansson, Steve Martin, Shaun Levy, Fred Armisen, Alec Baldwin and more. Johansson, Jost, Armisen, Michaels and the entire “SNL” crew danced along to the band’s top hits, such as “Wake Up” and “Rococo” at their seats, throwing flowers onto the stage (and each other).
