Kate McKinnon and Pete Davidson are among those departing “Saturday Night Live' after Saturday's 47th season finale, along with Aidy Bryant and Kyle Mooney. “I love ya, thanks for letting me stay awhile,” McKinnon said in the episode’s opening skit.
NEW YORK — Kate McKinnon and Pete Davidson are among those departing from “Saturday Night Live,” leaving the sketch institution without arguably its two most famous names after Saturday’s 47th season finale.The departures represent one of the biggest cast shake-ups in years on a show that has seen unusual steadiness in recent seasons.
McKinnon, 38, won two Emmys and was nominated for nine in her 10 seasons on the show, during which her impressions included Hillary Clinton, and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Her comic chops with characters like alien abductee Miss Rafferty frequently drove castmates and guest hosts to lose it live on air.“I love ya, thanks for letting me stay awhile. Live from New York, it’s Saturday night,” she said to open the show.
