What is Alex Moffat's net worth adn salary?
Alex Moffat is an American actor and comedian who has a net worth of $3 million.
Alex Moffat's journey to comedy stardom reflects a path shaped by Chicago's rich theatrical tradition and years of dedicated performance work. Born in 1982 in Chicago, Illinois, Moffat immersed himself in the city's vibrant comedy scene, training at several prestigious institutions including The Second City Conservatory and ImprovOlympic.
Before his breakthrough into national television, Moffat spent years performing in Chicago's theater circuit, where he developed his sharp comedic timing and versatile performance style. He was a regular performer at the Annoyance Theatre and Dana Hotel's Entertaining Julia show, building a reputation for his ability to embody various characters with precision and wit.
His early career also included work in commercial acting and voice-over work, providing him with valuable on-camera experience. Moffat's talent for accents and character work, which would later become his trademark on SNL, was honed during these formative years in Chicago's comedy scene.
In 2016, Moffat joined the cast of Saturday Night Live as a featured player alongside Melissa Villaseñor and Mikey Day. His debut season quickly established him as a versatile performer with a particular talent for playing privileged, somewhat pompous characters. Perhaps his most notable recurring impression became Eric Trump, portrayed as the dimwitted son of Donald Trump, often appearing alongside Mikey Day's Donald Trump Jr. in political sketches.

Beyond his Trump family impressions, Moffat developed several memorable recurring characters on SNL. His "Guy Who Just Bought a Boat" character on Weekend Update became a fan favorite, perfectly capturing the essence of a privileged but insecure young man trying too hard to seem sophisticated. He also gained recognition for his impressions of various political figures and celebrities, including Anderson Cooper, Mark Zuckerberg, and Joe Biden (before James Austin Johnson took over the role).
What distinguishes Moffat's comedic style is his ability to find the perfect balance between subtlety and absurdity. His characters often operate within a narrow range of social types – the wealthy, the privileged, the socially awkward – but he brings such specific detail and nuance to each performance that they become distinctly memorable.
During his time on SNL, Moffat has also pursued other acting opportunities, appearing in films such as "Someone Great" (2019) and various television shows. His work outside SNL has helped showcase his range beyond sketch comedy, though he remains best known for his work on the legendary late-night show.
