A versatile and energetic performer, Taran Killam was a utility player who could do it all during his six-season run. He was known for his sharp impressions of Brad Pitt and Matthew McConaughey. His original characters were equally strong, most notably the flamboyant 1860s newspaper critic Jebidiah Atkinson on ‘Weekend Update.’ Killam had a classic song-and-dance man’s energy, which he showcased in numerous sketches. Since his departure from the show, he has starred in the sitcom Single Parents, appeared on Broadway in Hamilton, and continues to work as an actor and writer.
