Louis-Dreyfus, much like Harry Shearer, was also a Saturday Night Live cast member in the 1980s, only Louis-Dreyfus was a cast member from 1982 to 1985 (from seasons 8 to 10) while Shearer was a cast member once during the 1979-1980 season (season 5) and again on the 1984-1985 season (season 10, which coincidentally had Shearer and Louis-Dreyfus in the same cast, until Shearer quit mid-season). In addition, Louis-Dreyfus became the first female SNL cast member to come back and host (an honor that would have gone to Gilda Radner during the 1987-1988 season, if not for Radner's worsening ovarian cancer and the season itself being cut short due to the 1988 Writers' Guild of America strike) and one of three Dick Ebersol-era cast members (joining Martin Short and Eddie Murphy) to come back and host. Meanwhile, as of this writing, Harry Shearer has not come back to SNL to host or cameo.
