Sarah Sherman Appears in Her 300th SNL Sketch

Like Colin Jost not at all long before her, Sarah Sherman this weekend also appeared in her 300th career Saturday Night Live sketch.

That’s according to Jon Schneider and Mike Murray of LateNighter’s podcast partner, The Saturday Night Network, which tracks sketch appearances across the show’s history.

Sherman’s brief appearance in this weekend’s “Lies” pre-tape starring Colin Jost Martin Herlihy was the one that netted her the nice, round number. Earlier in the broadcast, she appeared in Ryan Gosling’s monologue, “Wedding Toast,” “Otezla,” and “Goo Goo Man.”

Sherman thus becomes the 62nd cast member overall to pass the 300-sketch threshold, an honor she shares with six other current SNL cast members: the aforementioned Jost, James Austin Johnson (who hit the mark December 21), Mikey Day, Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Fineman, and, of course, Kenan Thompson (whose 23 seasons on the show put him at the top of the list with more than 1,800 sketch appearances).

A member of her Great Neck, N.Y. high school’s improv team and a theater major at Northwestern, Sherman joined SNL in Season 47 as a featured player, following at least one failed audition years prior. In Season 49, she was promoted to repertory player.

Sherman’s first on-screen appearance came on October 2, 2021, in “School Board Meeting,” a sketch in which she delivered just two lines of dialogue. It was later in that same episode, in “Mail-In Testing” (fka “Stool Test Advert”), that she first headlined a sketch. That ten-to-one sketch teamed Sherman with Andrew Dismukes as a husband-and-wife doctor team who shoot a commercial for their mail-in stool sample testing service that absolutely does not play around with the sample after testing it.

In the four-plus seasons since, Sherman has been an incredible utility player—able to go all in on gross-out or body horror humor (the bread-and-butter of her “Sarah Squirm” stand-up persona), or simply play a “Domingo” bridesmaid, mom, or girlfriend.

On the former front, she famously played the recipient of a “googly eyes” transplant (and evoked same in a cut January 2026 sketch), inhabited doll-like killer Chucky (as the subject of office coworker gossip), and on no fewer than three occasions has played a severed head.

Another of Sherman’s specialties is roasting or taunting “Weekend Update” co-anchor Colin Jost, either as his long-lost son, as his accountant, as Punch the monkey’s deadbeat mom (watch video below), or simply as herself.
