12 Best Shows Created by ‘SNL’ Alumni

Saturday Night Live is certainly the most iconic sketch TV show to ever exist. Since its start on October 11, 1975, it has been a cultural phenomenon that has had some of the best and most popular comedians of this day and age come through its doors and even now is still hiring some of the best new talent.

The revolving rotation of cast members and writers who have come and gone often ended up creating their own shows after or during their stint at the NBC late night sketch comedy show. Pete Davidson, one of several cast members who exited at the end of Season 47, is set to release his upcoming comedy series Bupkis in 2023, but until then, it’s the perfect time to look at some of the shows that have come before it.

So, here’s a list of 12 of the best shows that were (co-)created by people whose journey in comedy included a stint at Studio 8H at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.
