Saturday Night Live characters

{{BLP sources section|date=March 2021}}

• Olya Povlatsky, a Russian woman who voices her opinions on current events, comparing them to the outrageous struggles she faces in her village. She also appeared in a cold open with Beck Bennett as Vladimir Putin reading a prepared statement against her will.
• Sheila Sovage, a heavily intoxicated woman at a bar who meets and hooks up with a heavily intoxicated man or woman, played by the host, at closing time.
• Jodi Cork, The Art of the Encounter and Women in the Workplace co-host with Donna Fingerneck (played by Cecily Strong).
• Barbara DeDrew, a lesbian volunteer at the cat shelter Whiskers R We.
• Deenie, a.k.a. “Somebody’s Mom”, a middle-aged woman who attempts to recap shows she’s been watching, but only knows the characters by self-applied nicknames, such as “Big Boobs” and “Mustache”. She is always eating some foul concoction out of Tupperware, such as Brussels sprouts and imitation crab, which generally both revolts and breaks up Weekend Update anchor Colin Jost. The character is based on longtime SNL writer Paula Pell’s mother.
• Mrs. Santini, an apartment dweller who writes passive-aggressive notes to her neighbors. Originally performed as Effie Villalopolus on Comedy Bang! Bang!
• Colleen Rafferty, a 27-year-old woman (despite looking middle-aged, implicitly due to her repeated traumas) who appears in panels with two of her friends (played by Cecily Strong as a hippie named Sharon, alongside the episode’s host). The three friends recount their experience of a shared paranormal event (such as being abducted by aliens, having a near-death experience, discovering that Santa Claus is real, being visited by ghosts, and discovering that time travel is possible). The other two friends always have an idyllic experience, while Rafferty instead goes through a different, traumatic experience during the event and invariably loses her pants.
• Les Dykawitz, a lesbian cop from the 1970s who works for the Chicago Police Department along with her partner Chubina Fatzarelli (played by Aidy Bryant) in “Dyke & Fats”.
• Debette Goldry, a senile elderly actress whose harsh experiences with being an actress in old Hollywood (including the issues of equal pay, sexual harassment and abuse, racial diversity in film roles, and actresses getting involved behind the camera as directors and writers) are more outrageous than what modern actresses have gone through.
• A member of Woodbridge High School’s theatre troupe who make their performances obsessively and solely about social justice issues that they know very little about.
• Noelle LeSoup, the co-host of the French show “America’s Funniest Cats” who appears on the American version of the show along with Joelle LaRue (played by Cecily Strong).
• Shud, a crass mermaid who is based on a blobfish, and makes sexual advances on an unfortunate marooned sailor.
• Dr. Wayne Wenowdis, a strangely accented middle-aged medical doctor, who debuted in 2020, as part of the Weekend Update segment with Colin Jost.“Kate McKinnon’s Dr. Wenowdis Returns to Vaccinate Colin Jost on Weekend Update”. Collider.com 13 December 2020 {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210129065507collider.com/snl-kate-mckinnon-weekend-update-wenowdis-colin-jost/ |date=January 29, 2021 }}.
• Madame Vivelda, a fortune teller who predicts people’s 2020 experiences.
