  • Davidson revealed that new SNL cast members only earn $7,000 per episode, far less than the six-figure salaries many assumed - a surprisingly modest pay for such high-profile gigs.
  • The veteran cast members, including heavyweights like Seth Meyers, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Sarah Silverman, can command up to $25,000 per episode, still a far cry from the big bucks of other TV stars.
