Cecily Strong is leaving SNL after tonight's episode, hosted by Austin Butler. Strong will no longer be a cast member in 2023.
The NBC show announced that Saturday’s broadcast — expected to be “SNL”s last of 2022 — would also mark Strong’s final appearance as a member of the cast. She joined “Saturday Night Live” in 2012, and, since that time, has distinguished herself by playing The Girl You Wish You Hadn’t Started a Conversation with at a Party and with an impression of the Fox News opinion host Judge Jeanine Pirro.
Strong’s exit shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. The actor missed several episodes this season to take part in a play — a signal that she was already entertaining other options. Kate McKinnon did something similar in the fall of 2021, the start of her last season with the program. And yet, like many “SNL” cast members, she isn’t moving too far away from what has been her home base Strong stars in the second season of “Schmigadoon!,” a parody of musicals that streams on Apple+. Like “SNL,” the show is produced by Lorne Michaels, the executive producer of “SNL.”
