Yvonne Hudson (April 14, 1954)[citation needed] is an African-American television actress who is best known for being the third African-American to become a cast member on Saturday Night Live following Garrett Morris and Eddie Murphy. She joined the cast as a featured player in the show's 1980-1981 season. (Murphy joined one week before her.) Hudson first appeared on the show in 1978 as an uncredited extra in many episodes.
Yvonne Hudson is the first African-American female cast member. Hudson barely had a role of significance and was fired along with most of the cast at the end of the troubled season. However, she continued to appear occasionally in uncredited small roles until her final appearance on the show in 1984. She has not appeared in any television or film roles since.
