Andrew Dismukes Wore Flip-Flops to His First SNL Table Read

[@rachellawrence4390]

It's ironic that the era that Andrew's teacher hated was when most likely when seth was head writer lol

[@canaisyoung3601]

That says a lot about Saturday Night Live and how long it's been on the air: anyone's who's watched it and liked it has their favorite era, whether it's the "Not Ready for Primetime" era or the current seasons (though most fans will agree that Jean Doumanian's era, that season when Lorne Michaels came back and almost killed his own show, and season 20 weren't good seasons, though they did have at least one bright spot that saved them from total disaster: Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo for the Jean Doumanian era, Dennis Miller's Weekend Update [and Jon Lovitz being his hammy self] for that bizarre 11th season [though I also liked Terry Sweeney and Danitra Vance and it's a shame they weren't recognized in their time], and of course, Norm Macdonald's Weekend Update for season 20).

It's great when previous SNL cast members are on, especially when they do Second Chance Theater!

[@TheEyeSeesAll]

I love this dude. He is such a solid cast member I hope he’s around for the next ten years.

[@sashag2196]

yes hes definitely a stand out

[@stephen-wahl]

I never really noticed him until this year but he's killing it. Joker wedding and Jumanji were outstanding and comedy gold!

[@miasl]

so glad snl is giving him a chance to do some publicity! andrew is one of my favorite cast members and a standout in this new era, destined for great things ahead

[@Vianeigh863]

Dismukes is probably my favorite young castmember. I appreciate his comedy style so much

[@henrytawnn8694]

Every skit with him and Lizzo had me rolling in laughter.

[@theloneviking9145]

Andrew is so funny! I hope he does a stand-up special for Netflix or something. I love his deadpan look.

[@jeremyphillips7827]

Aww. He's adorable. I loved those skits with the dog-head man. It's even funnier watching the cast break during the skits.

[@Tabroski]

I actually went to high school with Andrew. The teacher he’s talking about really was adored by many of the students. He looks like an older Richard Dreyfuss with a full white beard.

[@JillKnapp]

I'm picturing Andrew's French teacher being all Jebediah Atkinson as he reviews the show each week.

[@jonnyati]

that was my thought as well

[@katyscott87]

Same thought! Made me wonder if he's working on reviving the bit. I could see him playing the role. But I don't know the precedent of reviving/ recasting original characters though... the way that impressions get passed down.

[@SilentBob731]

SNL has lost a lot of great people in the last couple of years, but with additions like Dismukes and Sarah Sherman I feel like the show is in good hands. --Cue the haters who constantly say "SNL" was only good when X" ("X" being, most likely, when they were young and everything seemed better).

[@artieblair2720]

Agreed I think Dismukes and Sherman are incredibly strong, confident and unique performers

[@sirspate]

SNL was only good when "Appalachian Emergency Room".

[@baylinkdashyt]

I'm on your side. Chloe, too. As long as I like the guest host, they're batting over .500 with me, and Update is *always* a home run, even if their social media people can't be bothered to get the segments in *order* in the YT playlist -- why they don't just run it as a single segment escapes me completely, but at least don't make me hunt... And the Film Unit is almost *always* a win.

[@mst3kpimp]

I notice people who try to crap on the current snl always lovingly prop up some era that you know that they were critical of at the time anyway. you cant win.

[@cgill914]

Also am loving James Austin Johnson, Bowen Yang and Heidi Gardener!

[@looney1023]

Omg that dog sketch has always been one of my chaotic favorites. He did a great job!

[@brettfitzofchampions8246]

it was done 50 times on youtube first. thats the prob...

[@felicitousfeline9956]

That dog sketch was great-fun to see Mikey trying not to break on his own sketch! And Andrew is really stepping up this season. Wish the interview was longer.

[@robatsea2009]

Dismukes is a really sharp talent - he wrote (and acted in) the brilliant SNL short "A Christmas Epiphany" that featured Austin Butler in a parody of "It's a Wonderful Life".

[@jeromystone778]

Andrew is sooooooooo BEAUTIFUL. Sooooooooo BEAUTIFUL. He's my number one cast member of SNL. Sooooooooo BEAUTIFUL. LOVE him.

Andrew has really come into his own over the past year on SNL. He is so down-to-earth and boyishly charming. I love his comedic style. Keep it up, Andrew! 💜😂💜

[@TheCheat420]

Andrew is doing great on SNL and I'm really enjoying his stuff.

[@WolfMoon173]

I remember at first he didnt make a big impression but in recent years hes really stepped up and now with many of the main stays gone I'm excited to see him and a lot of the other newer folk to get the limelight.

[@presentfuture7563]

It's so nice to see Forehead Jackson getting on the talk shows

[@jaytyler7700]

"Do you have any questions for me?" A question asked in almost every interview would just hit different asked by Lorne. He has to get a good laugh from seeing what comedic people say and do during the interview process. Not to mention the nerve racking but probably hilarious thoughts that must go through their mind.

[@jmr1123]

Haven't seen Andrew since da summatime good to see he's doing well

[@johnnarenee]

That skit where he's the dog's hands is great. Definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it!

[@erikshaw7]

Love seeing more of Andrew! One of my favorite newer cast members

[@megan-ke4xw]

he has been crushing it in sketches lately! Glad he's getting some recognition :)

[@ColinFilm]

I know he's had lots of camera experience but considering that was his first talk-show experience, he nailed it!

[@TheAndokid1]

yeah thinking the same thing. Fallon should have him on.

[@CwMGameplays]

Saw him live when he was still a writer, super excited to see him on the show now. He’s had some great sketches.

[@poufsouffledoodle]

He's def my fav of the newer castmembers. So happy he's getting more recognized and is doing talk shows now! But every time I see him, I can't help but think he looks like a younger, cuter John Mulaney.

[@ivyinabottle]

For the longest time, I was under the impression that Pete was the dog’s hands in that sketch lol

[@MrDLW2010]

Andrew is the guy who will tell you a dirty joke, who you will also take home to your parents.

[@icantollie]

I would be totally fine if all Seth did was bring in a new _SNL_ cast member every night and introduce them to us so we get to learn about their origin story (and Lorne stories)

[@Neddoest]

I haven’t watched SNL since about 2012 but even I agree with that

[@JohnSmith-kd6ip]

His outfit is totally thrown together spontaniously. Just whatever he saw first. Brown pants, brown/orange/yellow shirt/ brown jacket. Goes well with the desk and the "bricks" in the back.

Important! If someone at 30 Rock reads this, tell someone at SNL to add the cast introduction to the cold open video uploaded to youtube. There are a lot of us who watch SNL on youtube and I didnt know andrew's name till now because i never see the credits. Modern snl cast members are losing out on that name recognition among the entire audience that watches on this platform and they deserve to have that.

[@tcreative8030]

Andrew is an awesome additon to the cast!

[@chrisdalton5646]

4:33 "Don't Stop Belevin'. " (Yes, that's the correct spelling of the sketch.)

[@futrpdr]

You gotta use your French teacher's persona as a character on the show. Like, have someone acting as him doing a halftime show of the live show itself!

[@katyscott87]

His description made me think of Taran Killam's Weekend Update character: Jedediah Atkinson, a scathing theater critic from the 1800s. It made me wonder if he's planning to revive that bit, or maybe a spinoff where he's the brother or son.

[@NewMessage]

[@carina9295]

Anyone else notice the edit after Andrew said “Flops? Don’t bring them heah?” Did he drop a Cajun slur or sumpin’…

[@badbiker666]

My favorite Andrew Dismukes SNL sketch was the "Castaway" parody with Jason Momoa doing the Tom Hanks part and Chloe Fineman playing the Helen Hunt part. Andrew played Kelly's husband, who's more than a little bit put off that his wife's ex-boyfriend, recently returned after being stranded on a deserted island for five years, is coming over for dinner. At one point, Momoa spills a glass of wine on himself and is "forced" to remove his shirt. Of course, the audience broke out in applause for this. But then Andrew's character takes his shirt off, too, to try and match Momoa's hyper masculinity. I LOVED that the audience gave Andrew a BIGGER round of applause for having the guts to go mano a mano, shirtless, with Jason Momoa. That audience reaction made me laugh harder than the actual comedy on the screen.

[@RoughTake]

Forehead sketch with MBJ lol

[@JohnGeorgeHill]

I know it's people saying it's funny when they were young, but I was really watching from the first years, and my take is, sometimes an episode can be great and sometimes they can be garbage. I always thought that the beginning of the show losing some luster was when they started announcing who the character was, before they actually did something, like "Opera Man." Give the character a name, don't tell us. Father Guido Sarducci is a great example of a very subtle but hilarious character. They didn't come out and say, "here's a priest who smokes, or worse, Guido the Smoking Priest. Usually if a show starts out great, the whole episode is great. I've found when certain guests are on, the writing seems to take off. Every time ex-SNL writer John Mulaney is on, the whole show tends to be great. I don't think it's generational, but it has to be good writing, and sometimes they have it and sometimes they don't.

[@abcdefg2120]

When did Andrew start writing for the show? His teacher sounds suspiciously like that Taran Killiam character, Jebidiah Atkinson.
