No More Stefon On Saturday Night Live

Saturday Night Live's Bill Hader, who is best known by me for playing Stefon the hilarious 'city correspondent' on Weekend Update, is saying good bye to show after 8 years on the show's upcoming finale.

Bill announced his departure just days (yesterday) before the season finale this Saturday (May 18) a New York Times interview.

“It got to a point where I said, ‘Maybe it’s just time to go.’ ” - Bill Hader

Bill won't be the only SNL veteran leaving soon. Writer and Weekend Update anchor Seth Meyers is leaving the sketch comedy next year to take over Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and allegedly Jason Sudeikis and Fred Armisen to purse other opportunities.

While nothing new has been announced for good with Bill Hader as far as work he does plan to move to California to be with his filmmaker wife Maggie Carey while pursuing other projects with four animated films already completed and three live action features.

I figure he'll be fine just  like the other alums who went on to become Hollywood comedy stars and there's always the option of coming back to host SNL.

I'll miss me some Stefon.



I wonder if Bill could persuade Kanye West, who's performing this Saturday, to do a skit together?
