"Saturday Night Live" is not just a weekly sketch comedy series on NBC; it’s an American institution that has brought countless laughs for over 40 years. Many great comedy legends have been made because of their appearance on the famed show.
Many "SNL" alumni and alumna have gone to have great careers as movie stars and stand-up comedians after their time on the program. It’s pretty common for actors on "SNL" to leave the show, but there are performers who left for reasons other than career advancement. To that end, we’ve compiled a video that lists the real reason why SNL stars left the show.

Chevy leaving allowed there to be focus on the rest of the cast and for the show to evolve as a whole, so it worked out best for everyone. Similarly, Paul and David Letterman were a perfect team and he was better off there than on SNL. "Creative differences; I was creative and they were different." is an amazing line 🤣 And Norm's firing was the worst decision NBC ever made - his Weekend Update tenure was absolutely legendary.

For Farley and especially Sandler, their dismissals were blessings in disguise. Their brands of comedy were refined on SNL and were very successful for the time they were on the air... so it was only natural that studios made calls when these guys were available. Sandler's comedy is hit-or-miss for me but he hit the ground running when he was fired and never looked back.
