Four Saturday Night Live cast members, including Heidi Gardner after eight seasons, have left the show in just three days. This is the largest cast exodus since 2022, when eight members departed. Gardner, the longest-tenured female cast member, is known for her recurring characters like Angel and Bobbi Moore. While NBC declined comment, executive producer Lorne Michaels previously hinted at cast changes for the upcoming season.
