Veronika Slowikowska’s fresh, offbeat comedy style has caught the attention of social media audiences across the internet, serving up some of the most cringe-worthy yet hilarious sketches. However, our FYPs won’t be the only place we will be seeing Slowikowska — on October 4, she is set to make her debut as a featured player on "Saturday Night Live" Season 51!

 

On September 2, NBC welcomed 5 new "SNL" cast members, including the Canadian comedic influencer and actress, also known by her social media handle @veronika_iscool. Following this announcement, Slowikowska received an overwhelming amount of support from fans as they took to TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter to express their excitement.

After attending Randolph College of the Performing Arts, Slowikowska began posting on social media. Over the years, she has built a devoted fanbase on TikTok and Instagram, amassing nearly 1.8 million followers across both platforms, and successfully carving out her own space in the online comedy sphere. Her sketches often revolve around Slowikowska’s quirky persona and the hilariously awkward interactions she shares with recurring character — and real-life roommate — Kyle Chase.

    

Not only is she a social media star, but Slowikowska has also appeared in several hit shows, like the comedy series "Tires" and "What We Do In The Shadows". One of her most notable roles was as a lead in the Hulu sci-fi comedy "Davey and Jonesie’s Locker". Last year, Young Hollywood partnered with Slowikowska for a "Davey and Jonesie’s Locker" promo where she gave us an inside look into her locker essentials. 

 

  

Slowikowska’s talents extend beyond acting, as she has showcased her musical abilities on multiple occasions. This is a skill that will serve her well on "SNL" as the show often incorporates musical elements into many of their sketches. 

 

With her unapologetic humor and willingness to take comedic risks, Slowikowska has become a standout up-and-comer in the comedy world. Practically dripping with talent, she is sure to be an instant "SNL" fan favorite. On September 2, she posted on Instagram celebrating her "SNL" achievement with the caption “dream come true”. This is a “dream come true” not just for Slowikowska but for fans as well. The new season of "SNL" is set to premier on October 4 on NBC, so mark your calendars and get ready to laugh along with Slowikoska as she makes her debut in the iconic Studio 8H!
