In the 38 years 'SNL' has been on the air, the series has only had four black female castmembers: Yvonne Hudson (1980-81), Danitra Vance (1985-86), Ellen Cleghorne (1991-95) and Maya Rudolph (2000-2007).

In a world where we have a black First Lady and pop culture is defined by Scandal, Rihanna, Oprah, Nicki Minaj and Beyonce, 'SNL' NEEDS a black female comedienne on the show. Back in October, they said the reason there aren't any black girls on the show is because they aren't any ready for a leading role!

That theory was proved wrong last week when plenty of capable black female comediennes were showcased in a pre-audition. And on Monday, about 10 women will audition in the NYC studio! The network says they WILL add one of these ladies to the cast in 2014.
