Cecily Strong officially leaves SaturdayNightLive during this weekend's holiday episode, in the middle of her 11th season as a cast member.
Cecily Strong officially leaves Saturday Night Live mid-season after a decade on the beloved sketch comedy show. Strong has been a part of the ensemble cast of the series since 2012, first appearing in season 38, episode 1, which featured host Seth MacFarlane and musical guest Frank Ocean.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY On Saturday, December 17, during their holiday special hosted by Elvis star Austin Butler, Saturday Night Live announced that the episode would be Strong's last. She bade farewell to the show with a special Weekend Update segment where she played her popular recurring character Cathy Anne.
Michaels was behind what is probably her biggest non-SNL comedy series role to date, the Apple TV+ original musical Schmigadoon, in which she co-starred with Keegan-Michael Key. That show, which followed an arguing couple who find themselves trapped in a town that operates by the rules of a classic movie musical, has already been renewed.
However, that isn't the only other project that the Saturday Night Live alum has in the pipeline. Although the character she will be playing hasn't yet been announced, Strong is set to provide a voice for the upcoming 2024 animated film Garfield. The cast of the project also includes Nicholas Hoult, Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Strong's SNL co-star Bowen Yang, Ving Rhames, Samuel L. Jackson as Garfield's father Vic, and Chris Pratt as Garfield himself.
