What is Andrew Dismukes’s net worth and salary?
Andrew Dismukes is an American comedian, actor, writer, and “Saturday Night Live” cast member who has a net worth of $2 million.
Andrew Dismukes moved from the show’s writers’ room to its on-camera ensemble. Known for his dry delivery, boyish appearance, off-kilter characters, and absurd sketch sensibility, Dismukes joined “SNL” as a writer in 2017 before becoming a featured player in 2020. His path is unusual because he had already spent several years writing for the show before viewers knew him as a performer. That background helped shape his style: tightly constructed premises, deadpan weirdness, and characters who often seem normal for about three seconds before revealing something deeply strange. Before “SNL,” Dismukes came out of the Austin comedy scene, where he performed stand-up while attending the University of Texas. He became one of the show’s quietly reliable cast members, capable of anchoring odd sketches, playing awkward young men, and writing material that fits his understated comic voice.
Early Life
Andrew Vincent Dismukes was born on June 21, 1995, in Houston, Texas. He grew up in Port Neches, a Gulf Coast city near the Texas-Louisiana border. He graduated from Port Neches-Groves High School before attending the University of Texas at Austin.
At UT, Dismukes studied radio-television-film and became active in the Austin stand-up scene. He began performing comedy while still a freshman and quickly developed a reputation as a young comic with a sharp, strange point of view.
Comedy and SNL Career
Dismukes was runner-up in the Funniest Person in Austin contest in 2016 and later appeared at the Just for Laughs New Faces showcase. That exposure helped lead to an audition for “Saturday Night Live.” In 2017, shortly after graduating from college, he was hired as an “SNL” writer.
He spent three seasons writing for the show before joining the cast in 2020 as a featured player. He was promoted to repertory status in 2022. As a performer, Dismukes often plays nervous, odd, overly sincere, or quietly deranged characters. His comedy tends to work through escalation rather than volume. He can begin a sketch in a low-key register and gradually push it into absurd territory.
Because he came from the writing staff, Dismukes has also remained associated with the mechanics of sketch construction. His strongest pieces often have a writerly quality: specific premises, strange turns, and a willingness to let awkwardness become the joke.
SNL Salary
Based on CelebrityNetWorth’s general “Saturday Night Live” salary framework, Dismukes is likely in the fifth-year-and-up cast salary tier. Although he joined the show as a writer in 2017, the cast salary structure applies to his on-camera tenure, which began in 2020. That makes the 2025-26 season his sixth season as a cast member. Under the general CNW pay scale, cast members who reach a fifth season earn around $15,000 per episode. Assuming a normal 20- to 21-episode season, Dismukes’s estimated annual “SNL” cast salary would be around $300,000 to $315,000 before taxes. That figure does not necessarily include separate writing compensation, outside stand-up dates, acting jobs, or other entertainment income.
