User:Rorschach/Recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches

This is a list of recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches. Saturday Night Live is a late-night sketch comedy and variety show that has aired on NBC, an American terrestrial television network, since its premiere on October 11, 1975. The show features sketches which often satirize American popular culture and politics. The sketches are performed by members of a two-tiered cast: the repertory members, also known as the "Not Ready for Prime-Time Players", and newer cast members, known as "Featured Players." In addition, the show features a host, usually a well-known celebrity, who delivers an opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast.

Sketches and characters which are popular among viewers are often reprised on multiple episodes with different story lines or other variations on the original. Weekend Update, a parody of local news broadcasts, is the show's longest-running recurring sketch and has been featured on every regular episode. Other popular recurring sketches include Mango (starring the eponymous male stripper played by Chris Kattan), Morning Latte (in which two obnoxious morning talk show hosts engage in inane banter), and Two A-Holes (in which two New York yuppies annoy everyone they meet).
