Sasheer Zamata was the toast of an “SNL” after-party at La Cenita.
The comic — the first African-American female cast member to join the NBC show since Maya Rudolph left in 2007 — was given congratulatory hugs and kisses by “SNL” creator Lorne Michaels, as well as cast members Jay Pharoah, Kenan Thompson, Nasim Pedrad, Taran Killam, Vanessa Bayer and Cecily Strong, a spy said.
“From the moment Sasheer arrived, the entire ‘SNL’ family erupted in cheers and applause for a job well done,” the insider told us.
Rapper and “SNL” host Drake, who received high marks for his comedic chops on Saturday’s show, joined the party later with his mother, Sandi Graham.
