Early Life
Beck Bennett was born Christopher Beck Bennett on October 1, 1984, in Wilmette, Illinois. Beck is the son of Andy and Sarah Bennett, and he has two brothers, Sam and Drew. During his youth, Bennett performed in numerous plays at Children’s Theatre of Winnetka. He attended New Trier High School, where he starred as Jean Valjean in “Les Misérables.” After graduation, Beck enrolled in the B.F.A. Acting program at the USC School of Dramatic Arts. Bennett met his future “SNL” castmate Kyle Mooney at USC, and they have been friends ever since.
Early Career
In 2003, Bennett, Mooney, and Nick Rutherford joined Commedus Interruptus, a USC improv troupe, and in 2007, the three friends formed the sketch group Good Neighbor with director/editor Dave McCary . Good Neighbor earned praise and encouragement from director Steven Spielberg after he saw the group’s “Hook” parody, “Unbelievable Dinner.” Beck made his film debut in 2005’s “The Prototype,” then he appeared in several shorts and guest-starred in a 2010 episode of “Vicariously.” In 2011, he created and hosted “Fresh Perspectives,” a satirical talk show in which kids spoke about political issues, and it led to him being cast in AT&T’s “It’s Not Complicated” commercials. That year, he also starred in the web series “Appleseed Elementary,” and in 2012, he guest-starred on “Money from Strangers” and “YouCube” and appeared in the films “Kill Me Now” and “Acting Like Adults.”

SNL
In 2013, Bennett joined the cast of “Saturday Night Live” as a featured player, and he was promoted to a repertory player two years later. On the show, he was known for recurring characters such as “Baby Boss” and Jules Who Sees Things a Little Differently, as well as impersonations of Wolf Blitzer , Jeb Bush , Bill Clinton , Bing Crosby , Elton John , Mike Lindell , Mitch McConnell , Mike Pence , and a usually shirtless Vladimir Putin .
In September 2021, Beck announced on Instagram that he was leaving the show, writing:
" Love you, SNL. Gonna miss you so much. Thank you for 8 years of remarkable people and incredible experiences that completely changed my life. I had so much fun. " – Beck Bennett.
Saturday Night Live Salary
There are 21 episodes in a Saturday Night Live season. First-year cast members make $3,000 per episode. That works out to $63,000 for the season. Second-year cast members get a $1,000 per episode raise to $4,000 per episode. That’s $84,000 per season. Fourth season cast members make $7,000 per episode/$ 147,000 for the season. If a cast member makes it to their fifth season, they make $15,000 per episode. That’s $315,000 per season. The highest salary that can be reached at SNL is for people who’ve been there the longest or are the most important to the show. They make $25,000 per episode, which is $525,000 per year. It is likely that Beck reached that higher-level salary echelon due to his tenure.
