"Saturday Night Live" will begin its fall season with two new cast members.

Jenny Slate and Nasim Pedrad (NAH'-seem PEH'-drad) have joined the show! Both comedians have connections to the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, the New York- and Los Angeles-based comedy theater that also birthed the careers of numerous "SNL" cast members.

Slate previously partnered with Gabe Liedman for the comedy show "Gabe & Jenny." Pedrad, born in Tehran, Iran, previously had a one-woman show, "Me, Myself & Iran." "SNL" premieres Sept. 26.
