Live from New York, it’s Chloe Fineman closing the curtain.
The comedian announced that she’s leaving Saturday Night Live after “seven wonderful seasons” on the late-night variety show.
“I have decided it’s time for my next chapter,” she wrote on Instagram July 16. “It’s cliche to say this but working at SNL has been the greatest privilege of my life. I still can’t really believe I got to be a part of it. I fell in love with the place the second I walked through the door.”
The 37-year-old continued by expressing her gratitude towards the show’s creator and longtime showrunner Lorne Michaels for the opportunity, as well as everyone else who worked behind the scenes to make it happen.
“Lorne (if you’re reading this on your burner account) I want you to know that I am forever in your debt,” she said. “Every day I was lucky enough to be surrounded by the best people in the business, and I was constantly amazed watching them work.”
“Sewing a Jojo Siwa costume in 10 hours,” she continued. “Writing a cold open at 2pm on a Saturday. Finishing the VFX of a video minutes before dress (I don’t know if ‘finishing VFX’ is the right technical term but you get the idea).”
