"From Toronto's comedy bars to the world-renowned stage of Saturday Night Live, Veronika Slowikowska is the newest Canadian and the first since 1998 to join the famous sketch comedy show. Slowikowska's career progression into the comedy big leagues doesn't surprise her former Randolph College teacher Jeannie Wyse, who said Slowikowska "stood out as a triple threat" while a student, for her skills in singing, dancing and acting. "I can't say anything other than this is somebody who deserves this success and has worked so hard," Wyse told CBC Radio's Metro Morning."
"While Slowikowska's rise to fame didn't happen overnight, Wyse and former colleague Alia Rasul said her natural talent and dedication to the craft over the years eventually made her "a star." "She's a perfect SNL cast member in that her character range is expansive," said Rasul, managing artistic director at Bad Dog Theatre Company. "So I'm pretty sure she'll be a delight to write for on the writers side." Slowikowska, from Barrie, Ont., will be among five new cast members joining Saturday Night Live when its 51st season premieres on Oct. 4. She has amassed a large following on Instagram and TikTok, going by @veronika_iscool on both platforms, creating viral sketch content with her roommate Kyle Chase."
