Body-horror. It's not a word often associated with a show as conventional as Saturday Night Live. Yet, this is the exact comedic sensibility surrealist comedian Sarah Sherman brought to SNL when she joined the show in its 47th season. Since then, Sherman has quickly become one of the standout voices on the show. This was during a time when SNL was in need of a revamp. When Sherman debuted in Season 47, her presence was immediately made known through her exaggerated performances, in-your-face sense of humor, and cornering a market of absurdity on the show.
