With less than a month until season 51 of Saturday Night Live premieres on October 4, one more casting change has been announced. Ego Nwodim, who joined SNL in 2018, is departing the show after seven seasons. The news comes after NBC announced a finalized cast list for the upcoming season, which included Nwodim. “The hardest part of a great party is knowing when to say goodnight,” Nwodim wrote in her Instagram Story about the news. “I am immensely grateful to Lorne for the opportunity, to my castmates, the writers, and the crew for their brilliance, support, and friendship. Week after week on that stage taught me more than I could have ever imagined, and I will carry those memories (and that laughter) with me always. Now invite me to your weddings please!!!”
