Part 2/9:
Nasim Pedrad, who joined SNL in 2009, made headlines as the first Iranian-born cast member. Her journey ended after five seasons as she transitioned to John Mulaney's sitcom "Mulaney." Reflecting on her departure, she noted, “At some point you have to leave, and I can't think of a better reason to leave than for this particular show and this particular cast.” Although "Mulaney" was canceled after one season, Pedrad's resilience paved her path in Hollywood, leading to roles in major projects like Disney's "Aladdin" and the unconventional series "Chad."
