During the last season of Saturday Night Live, Ego Nwodim made a name for herself when the entire audience screamed out shit during a bit she did during Weekend Update.
After they did that, she declared that her boss, Lorne Michaels, was going to fire them because of what they said. But did he fire her instead, even though he was supportive of her at the time?
Today, the Not-Ready-For-Primetime-Player announced that she is ready for primetime. She wrote: “The hardest part of a great party is knowing when to say goodnight. But after seven unforgettable seasons, I have decided to leave SNL. I am immensely grateful to Lorne for the opportunity, to my castmates, the writers, and the crew for their brilliance, support, and friendship. Week after week on that stage taught me more than I could have ever imagined, and I will carry those memories (and that laughter) with me always now invite me to your weddings please!!!”
She joins Heidi Gardner, Michael Longfellow, Devon Walker, and Emil Wakim, who are also not returning for season 51 of the live variety show.
I have a feeling that this is not the last time we hear from her. She will be fine because she is the shit!
BTW Has anyone heard from Mikey Day? Because looking at that season 50 cast photo, it seems to be that he might be next?
