Earlier this week, NBC\u2019s long-running variety show announced that<\/span> Emil Wakim<\/span><\/a> and<\/span> Devon Walker<\/span><\/a> wouldn\u2019t be returning for the show\u2019s 51st season.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On Thursday, the list of canned cast members grew by one more when the network announced<\/span> Michael Longfellow<\/span><\/a> wouldn\u2019t be returning, either.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Longfellow spent three seasons on the show, making his biggest impressions on the \u201cWeekend Update\u201d desk with his takes on TikTok and <\/span>Real ID.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Unlike Wakim and Walker, Longfellow has yet to publicly comment on his departure. celebrity.land reached out to him, but no one immediately responded.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Insiders expect that more cuts to \u201cSNL\u201d cast \u2015 as well as new cast members \u2015 will be announced shortly.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The show returns for its Season 51 premiere on Oct. 4.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
