SNL mainstay Chris Redd announces departure ahead of next week's Season 48 premiere.
The great Saturday Night Live exodus continues. Monday night, Chris Redd announced he's leaving the show after five years at 30 Rock. The comedian and NBC released a joint statement confirming Redd's departure, making him the eighth cast member to leave Studio 8H prior to the start of Season 48.
Redd's statement goes on to add he'll soon debut a comedy special on HBO Max in addition to leading an audio project for Audible. He's just one of many SNL mainstays departing the show after several seasons at the live sketch comedy. Also gone from the show are Aidy Bryant, Pete Davidson, Kate McKinnon, Kyle Mooney, Alex Moffat, Melissa Villasenor, and Aristotle Athari.
Earlier this month, Michaels said the upcoming season would very much be a"transition year" due to the high turnover rate.
