Moynihan will likely be the only new cast member for Saturday Night Live, at least this Fall.

He’s a veteran of the the improv game, having been a member of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater for years.

Both male and female performers auditioned for the longtime television institution, and insiders expected a female cast member to be named in anticipation of Amy Poehler’s departure later on in the fall.

Comedy Central attended an industry showcase of their hit show “Never Gonna Give You Up” earlier this year.

The show has always had a prickly relationship with critics over its hiring of black cast members in February, it became big news when it was reported that the show was auditioning black comedians to portray Barack Obama.

He’s also been a member of the sketch comedy group The Buffoons, who have received some buzz recently.
