"In almost every sketch comedy ensemble, you’ll find several archetypes," says Sean L. McCarthy. "The alpha star. The weird omega, often the fool and the butt of jokes. In between, the specialists, such as the wacky wildcard, the celebrity impersonating chameleon, the utility player, or the member who thinks they’re the star while nobody else agrees. In Saturday Night Live, an ensemble with rotating parts from one season to the next, it’s as important if not more so to have one actor in the cast who can play all of the parts. For the past few seasons, Beck Bennett was that guy."
