Taran Killam’s SNL Memories
Catching up with one of the show’s most versatile performers after his recent run on Broadway.
Joining the cast in the waning days of the third golden age (the Wiig-Hader-Sudeikis-Samberg years), Killam served as a key link and torchbearer for the show before Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong began their dominant run. While former castmate Thompson is the poster child for this kind of Zeitgeist-y career arc, millennial comedy fans also grew up alongside Killam as he made teen girls swoon as Jordan Cahill in a classic DCOM( Stuck in the Suburbs) and cut his teeth with small roles in early 2000s projects like Big Fat Liar. Following the end of his latest run on Broadway (he appeared as Lancelot in Spamalot), Killam reflects on the various stages of his career, from landing a role in Naked Gun 33 ⅓ to his recent homecoming to SNL, his first visit to the show since his 2016 departure.
