Cecily Strong Spills on Her SNL Departure and Why She Displays Wigs in Her Home | The Tonight Show 

I don't want to depreciate the new members of SNL cast (they more than deserve their place in SNL family) but losing Beck Bennett, Aidy Bryant, Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong in the same year hurt.

Cecily is greatly missed one of the best SNL members they ever had so iconic ,and talented. can't wait to see what she does next.

She's just so naturally, beautifully funny.

Cecily was easily one of the bests on SNL. Can't wait to see what she does next.

Cecilyyyy!!! 😭 miss her so freakin much. Just watched the new episodes of Schmigadoon and she is incredible. Such a good show, *so* glad we got a second season!!! And love the little musical callbacks to S1 🥲❤️

The “aw” in the background when she talked about the hugs. It makes me cry seeing her leave the show - but everyone’s gotta go sometime. She’s a really beautiful person, and she deserves all the love. ❤️

Cecily Strong is real great actress. She's shown on SNL that she can do drama as well even though the sketches were funny. I hope she finds more great roles in the future and I hope one day she wins an Academy Award because she's that talented of an actress.

Cecily is one of my favourites, so funny and always on point. Brilliant snl career, one of the greats.

She was one of my all time favorites on SNL. So many laughs to thank her for....

Whenever I saw a crazy lady on the news, I would pray that Cecily would mock them on SNL. She never disappointed! One of the most consistently funny cast members ever. And truly stunning in real life.

Cecily is greatly missed! She brought us lots of laughs.

Along with wigs & boots, Cecily also wore some beautiful robes on SNL, such as the blue silk one in the "Memories" sketch.

I LOVE Miss Strong and miss her so much on SNL now. I am watching Schmigadoon now! I wish her the best!

God, I love her, I miss her, she is amazing in so many ways. So talented, can't wait to see what she does next!

Man, I miss her on SNL...I hope she does many projects...I'll watch all of them!

I missed her! Cecily is one of the best SNL members ever, she did so much for the show....i was thinking about Gemma the other day 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love Cecily Strong😊

I do miss her on SNL but I wish her continued success in her new endeavors. I think she is so naturally funny and very pretty. 👍👏

The books organized by color is my favorite thing

💎👑A QUEEN! Miss you a lot in SNL!!!😢

I get a warm feeling of happiness whenever i see Cecily . Her sketches especially Jeanine Piro were so funny. ❤her!

Cecile is a class act and will be so missed from the show!

i love Cecily Strong she was great on snl

She's so beautiful and talented

I miss Cecily. I’ve had such a massive massive schoolboy crush on her for a very long time. My favorite cast member ever.

She is incredible 😍

aw i miss her, it was such a nice surprise to see this pop up :))

Queen. I haven't really watched since she left much at all. 💙 I wish she could be on this Saturday night with Molly Shannon. 💙

She is amazing!!!

The impromptu French accents from both Jimmy and Cecily 😆😄5:48

Great video and I love Cecily Strong she is a great actress.😀

I've always had a crush on Cecily Strong. Wish her nothing but the best.

excited to see all the great work to come

Amazing Cecily! Alwas happy for her. Strong says it all ❣

She’s great.

Just a brilliant talent.

Doing a Lorne impression is a requirement when quoting him 😅

Talented, funny and adorable, Cecily Strong is a gift to us all.

I miss her so much!

She’s The Best 🐐

I cried during Blue Christmas too!

Most underrated cast member of the modern era? So fucking good at everything.

I love her, talented and beautiful.

Talented, funny, genuinely kind and beautiful ❤

Dang I love Cecily, she was my fav!

What a terrific human. A national treasure!

I love that they mentioned Austin, he is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!

Austin singing "Blue Christms" to Cecily was my favorite skit of ALL time on SNL and I have been watching since the very first show. I love them both...still makes me tear up.💖

I loved her drunk girl at a party character on weekend update.

Love her!

She's a national treasure.

All of the new cast members combined don't equal one Cecily Strong.

I always thought she'd go straight to Broadway if she left SNL. Her voice is VERY good and she's a long-experienced stage performer now. The last decade or so of female SNL performers are as good as they get. Strong was right in the middle of them. She was the go-to, steady-Eddie cast member who became relied upon in any sketch. Lots of good things still come her way. She's just getting started. Well done.

Cecily is in the same league as Gilda Radner in SNL history. Miss her, but you have to move forward.

Love her.

OMFG I love her and miss her on SNL

Hated to see her go, but she's crushing it. Schmigadoon has been a surpise in the best way.

Love her✨💗💕

Damn even Cecily does a good Lorne impression lol

Truly a great talent. And god she is soooo beautiful!

We love you Cecily ❤

Go Cecily!

Been watching SNL for a little while but never did I know that she sounded like this.

I won’t say that I had a celebrity crush for Cecily Strong in my 20’s & I’m 29 now… But I won’t say I didn’t either. Blessings for the rest of her career and life

Welcome back to the show, Jimmy says. She responds “Uh” 😅 She’s so interesting in the best way 😍

Strong is the best! 💪🏼

I never knew how Cecily Strong sounded like when not in character. Turns out, she sounds a lot like Cathy Anne! Hahahaha!

Stunning and smart.. oh my!!

YES!!! We need to get to space!!!

She is the best

So talented

not at all weird that Matt Damon would be great at cabaret. because anyone who would think that hasn't seen the phenomenal job he did as the protagonist, Thomas, in the "Talented Mr. Ripley" film.👍🙂

Her and Susan Sarandon would be perfect in a movie, show, or commercial together. Their personalities seem alike.

God I miss her on SNL…

I lover her Kari Lake impression

Loved her judge Jenne sketch

This makes me emotional. Cecily is one of the greats. Seriously. Don't believe me? Play her SNL reel and you'll see for yourself. I absolutely adore her! I'm sad that I don't get to see her Art regularly anymore. She's an incredibly likeable, funny woman who I sincerely hopes has a fantastic career. She's known though, and I'm sure she'll be fine. But just saying, as a huge fan, I'm sad she's not going to be on future sketches cause her characters are absolutely ICONIC! I'm just saying the girl has a fanbase already! She's someone I hope like just ridiculously blows up huge in the industry. She's incredibly stunning, and obviously a boss, which always adds that extra level of sexiness. She has a great personality, and her characters always hit all the right sexy...yes....but also funny that's in a FUN WAY! I probably sound weird, I just love Cecily! To Cecily directly: Girl! I love you (obviously) but....as someone who really really envies you and your SNL castmates, when you really think about it, of all these people on this planet, you were on SNL, because YOU ARE AMAZING, and also THANK YOU SO MUCH! I appreciate the laughter you guys provided! Our lives are still moving forward. But thank you for being someone who helped everyone and healed many with laughter. Again...this makes me emotional....SNL really is a BIG DEAL tho! I mean, it's an AMERICAN STAPLE. Dear Lorne, please make sure the person who succeeds you is dedicated to doing the same things you've been doing and following the same philosophy(s). This show needs to ALWAYS go on! It's Saturday Night tho! Like...in this world full of excessive media, this one is grandfathered in to being something that provides variable relief to what's happening in the news media. I sincerely do NOT understand why there aren't more improv-comedy based shows out there? It doesn't make sense to me. There needs to be TONS MORE. If you build it they will come. Ok sorry I'm done ranting. Just saying, people need to connect to each other and this show DOES THAT!

❤️‍🔥 she was fire

Omg - smart, hilarious, and beautiful. What an amazing woman.

Queen

She needs to come back and host. I miss her

Talent emanates from her

Awesome

Oh I didn't know that! I skipped the goodbye part. I'm like okay sappy sappy
