Please Don't Destroy's run on Saturday Night Live has wound down as the trio pursues separate paths. Ben Marshall will join SNL's cast for season 51 beginning October 4 alongside other new performers. John Higgins will depart the show to focus on acting projects. Martin Herlihy will remain on SNL's writing staff while also booking on-screen roles. The group continues to tour and has two studio films in development. The trio previously rose from pandemic-era online success to SNL shorts and a 2023 feature film, and they released a sketch special and tour documentary.
The Please Don't Destroy era - on Saturday Night Live, at least -has come to an end. Following a season marked by fewer on-camera appearances than fans had grown accustomed to, the sketch-comedy trio - Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy - is moving in different directions. When SNL's 51st season kicks off on October 4, Marshall will be part of the show's cast, joining fellow new performers Kam Patterson, Veronika Slowikowska, Tommy Brennan, and Jeremy Culhane.
The trio is presently on tour and currently has two movies in development for major studios that have yet to be announced. In addition to their collaborative work, the members of the group will pursue opportunities separately. Herlihy has booked a number of roles this year including Happy Gilmore 2, Roommates, The Breadwinner, and The Running Man, while Higgins will have projects to announce soon.
