Another one bites the dust.

Amid the cast shakeups at “Saturday Night Live” ahead of the Season 51 premiere, Ego Nwodim announced her exit after seven years. 

On Friday, Nwodim, 37, shared on her Instagram, “the toughest part of a fantastic party is deciding when to bid farewell. However, after seven unforgettable seasons, I’ve chosen to depart from ‘SNL.’”

She expressed her gratitude to longtime “SNL” genius Lorne Michaels, 80, “for the chance” and also thanked the cast, crew, and writers “for their brilliance, support, and friendship.”

The comedian wrapped up her message by saying, “Each week on that stage taught me more than I ever anticipated, and I will hold those memories (and the laughter) close to my heart forever.”

After a praying hands and kiss emoji, she signed off by saying, “now invite me to your weddings please!” seemingly to her fellow cast mates. 

Fellow comedian Amber Ruffin replied in a comment, “Congratulations! As long as I can still watch you perform, I’m good.”
