But while there were somewhat clear reasons why the former two cast members are leaving, it isn’t immediately obvious why Zamata is stepping down from the post-primetime limelight.
It’s been quite the week for Saturday Night Live, which went into the weekend with fans knowing that longtime star Bobby Moynihan would be leaving.
Given how things usually go, though, one would assume the actress has some career plans guiding the decision-making process.
Then it came out that Vanessa Bayer would be second out the door, and then Sasheer Zamata’s name was added to the comedic exodus after the episode aired.
