EGO Nwodim is leaving Saturday Night Live after seven seasons.
The beloved SNL comic, 37, made the announcement on her Instagram on Friday morning, September 12, claiming “the hardest part of a great party is knowing when to say goodnight.”
“After seven unforgettable seasons, I have decided to leave SNL,” she wrote, before thanking SNL boss Lorne Michaels.
“I am immensely grateful to Lorne for the opportunity, to my castmates, the writers, and the crew for their brilliance, support, and friendship.
“Week after week on that stage taught me more than I could have ever imagined, and I will carry those memories, and that laughter, with me always.
“Now invite me to your weddings please!” she concluded, seemingly alluding to her new availability on Saturday evenings.
Fellow SNL stars and other celebrities immediately poured into her comments to express their shock and gratitude.
“I just texted you but I also want to say it loud and proud here: it was an honor and total joy to get to work with you. One of the best to ever do it,” former co-star Cecily Strong wrote.
