Sept. 12 (UPI) -- Ego Nwodim is leaving Saturday Night Live after seven seasons.
The SNL cast member confirmed as much in an announcement on her Instagram Stories after the news broke Friday morning.
"The hardest part of a great party is knowing when to say goodnight," she 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."
"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," she continued. "Now invite me to your weddings please!"
