SNL’s Punkie Johnson Leaving Ahead of New Season
It’s always a notable shift when a cast member leaves a long-running show like Saturday Night Live, especially as it approaches a significant milestone like its 50th season. Punkie Johnson’s departure marks the end of an era for her on the show, but it sounds like she’s leaving on good terms. Her statement reflects a deep appreciation for the experience and the opportunities SNL provided her. Fans will likely miss her contributions, but it’s exciting to think about what new directions both she and the show might take next!
“After four seasons, I will not be returning to SNL for the 50th,” she said in a video posted to Instagram on Tuesday. Adding that there was “no bad blood,” “no bridges burnt,” and “no hurt feelings,” she shared that “SNL was a dream I didn’t even know I could achieve. I was part of one of the most elite institutions in comedy, and I’m so grateful for it… But my time there has come to an end.”
