Yvonne Hudson is an American television actress best known for being the first African-American female cast member on Saturday Night Live. She joined the cast as a featured player for the show’s 1980–1981 season. (The first black female repertory player was Danitra Vance.) She was also the third African-American SNL cast member, following Garrett Morris and Eddie Murphy. Hudson first appeared on the show in 1978 as an uncredited extra in many episodes.
Hudson rarely had a role of significance and was among the majority of the cast members fired at at the end of the troubled season. She continued to appear occasionally in uncredited small roles until her final appearance on the show in 1984. Other than her stint on SNL, Hudson has not appeared in any other television or film role.
