Longfellow, who joined as a featured player in Season 48, was promoted to the main cast ahead of its 50th season. He frequented many skits, and was also a consistent presence on the show\u2019s Weekend Update segment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s unclear as of now whether Longfellow is leaving the series on his own or if he was asked to exit. His exit does come as a bit of a surprise, though, as SNL-specific insiders recently reported that Longfellow was screen-tested as a potential replacement for Michael Che and Colin Jost as a host of Weekend Update.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Longfellow joins other cast members Devon Walker and Emil Wakim, as well as writers Celeste Yim and Rosebud Baker, as members of the series leaving ahead of its 51s season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In an interview with Puck last week, legendary producer Lorne Michaels said that SNL would see some changes coming to the show, though it\u2019s unclear exactly what else is planned for the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Saturday Night Live is currently set to premiere its 51st season on NBC on October 4, 2025. No host or musical guest has been announced for the episode as of yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">(Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2025\/08\/snl-michael-longfellow-leaving-1236500129\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Deadline;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Deadline<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/tv\/news\/2021295-snl-star-leaves-after-3-years-ahead-of-season-51\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:SNL Star Leaves After 3 Years Ahead of Season 51;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">SNL Star Leaves After 3 Years Ahead of Season 51<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:ComingSoon.net - Movie Trailers, TV &amp; Streaming News, and More;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">ComingSoon.net &#8211; Movie Trailers, TV &amp; Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article.
