It feels like “Saturday Night Live” is cleaning house.
In an Instagram story posted Friday morning, Ego Nwodim, who has been a heavily used player on “SNL” for the past seven years, announced she was leaving the long-running sketch show.
“The hardest part of a great party is knowing when to say goodnight,” Nwodim wrote. “But after seven unforgettable seasons, I have decided to leave SNL. I am immensely grateful to Lorne for the opportunity, to my castmates, the writers, and the crew for their brilliance, support, and friendship.”
She continued, “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.
