Recurring character
This is especially true with "Saturday Night Live" which has had many recurring characters turn into movies such as Stuart Smalley , Wayne and Garth of "Wayne's World" , The Blues Brothers , and "The Ladies Man" . Recurring characters may even revisit shows long after the actor who played them has left the cast , for example , the character Mary Katherine Gallagher was portrayed by Molly Shannon when she hosted "Saturday Night Live" in 2007 , six years after she left the cast .
