Ego Nwodim is leaving Saturday Night Live after seven seasons. Her departure follows the exits of several other cast members. Nwodim, a prominent female cast member known for memorable characters like Miss Eggy and Lisa from Temecula, cited the desire to pursue film and television opportunities. While her exit was a surprise to some, it comes after SNL's 50th-anniversary celebration. The show will continue with 17 cast members for its 51st season, including several new additions.
