Emil Wakim, who held a featured player role at NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” for a single season, is leaving the late-night showcase, he disclosed in a statement on social media Wednesday.
“I won’t be returning to ‘SNL‘ next year,” the comedian revealed on Instagram. “It was a gut punch of a call to get, but I’m so grateful for my time there,”
His departure follows that of cast member Devon Walker, who revealed Monday he would be leaving the program after three seasons. An NBC spokesperson for the program was not able to offer immediate comment.
