Yet another “Saturday Night Live” cast member won’t be returning to the show for its upcoming season.
Emil Wakim, a featured player during the show’s 50th season, announced his departure from the show via Instagram on Wednesday.
“I won’t be returning to ‘SNL’ next year,” is how the Lebanese-American comedian began the post. “It was a gut punch of a call to get, but I’m so grateful for my time there.”
Wakim said he learned he was canned while at Six Flags Amusement Park celebrating his friend’s 36th birthday and reacted to the news by going on “a really emotional walk through Bugs Bunny Park and stared out across Daffy Duck Lake thinking about life.”
He then related how he felt every time he entered the NBC building, thinking, “how insane it is to get to work there.”
