Saturday Night Live is known for many things, including timely skits and surprise guest appearances. The long-running series has launched the careers of many stars (even newcomers like Wicked star Bowen Yang), but I never realized how little the actors are paid compared to how many hours they put into the show.
NY Mag recently interviewed the alums of Saturday Night Live for a brand-new video, where they opened up about their first big purchase after joining SNL. In the clip, Pete Davidson shared details about how much the cast members are paid (and it may surprise you).
