Contrary to popular belief, Steve Martin was never a cast member on the show. The misconception stems from the fact that he has hosted the show 13 times, in addition to doing occasional surprise appearances.

Steve Martin is the only person to host a season premiere, a season finale, and a Christmas show and is the only person to host the show three times in a single season.

Will Ferrell became the highest paid cast member in SNL history in 2001. He received a salary of USD 350,000 (USD 105,000 in 1975 prices) for the 2001-2002 season.

Tina Fey is the first female head writer in the show's history.

John Goodman hosted the show 11 years in a row.

Anthony Michael Hall was the youngest member of SNL at 17 years old.

Conan O'Brien appeared uncredited in many sketches from 1988 to 1991 while he was a writer for SNL.

Candice Bergen was the first female host, the first person to host the show for a second time, and the first woman to host five times. Drew Barrymore has also hosted five times, her first being in 1982.

The following people are members of the Five-Timers Club: Steve Martin (14 times), Alec Baldwin (13 times), John Goodman (12 times), Buck Henry (10 times), Chevy Chase (9 times), Tom Hanks (8 times), Christopher Walken (7 times), 'Elliot Gould' (6 times), Danny DeVito (6 times), Candice Bergen (5 times), Bill Murray (5 times), Drew Barrymore (5 times).
