Michael Longfellow, a Saturday Night Live cast member, is leaving the show after being promoted to the main cast just last season. This follows the departures of Devon Walker and Emil Wakim. Longfellow's exit is surprising, especially given his successful Weekend Update appearances. His departure is part of a larger cast shakeup by creator Lorne Michaels before Season 51, which also includes departing writers. Longfellow has other projects, including stand-up comedy and acting.
