Jason Sudeikis Leaves Saturday Night Live

TVLine

That sound you hear is me weeping. Not only did my favorite Bill Hader leave SNL last season but I can now say farewell to my second favorite. Jason Sudeikis has made it official: He will not be returning to Saturday Night Live in the Fall.

The news isn't exactly surprising and didn't rip my heart out quite like Bill did but I'm still going to miss him on the show. Who will make fun of Joe Biden now?

Via TVLine:

The funnyman had widely been rumored to be exiting NBC’s sketch comedy show since Season 38 wrapped in May, but he confirmed the news while taping an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman that will air tonight (11:35/10:35c).

“I’m definitely done,” Sudeikis told Letterman, after noting he’d spent 10 years at SNL — two as a writer and eight as an on-air talent. “I’m not coming back next fall.”

Sudeikis, who was promoting his upcoming feature film We’re the Millers, joked that while he’s normally in the habit of brainstorming sketch ideas during the month of August, he’ll now focus on seeing which ones could last 90 minutes and be turned into movies.

Jason joins Bill Hader and Fred Armisen who announced their departures from the comedy show last season.
