- "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.

Too bad Taran Killian and Jay Pharoah’s exits weren’t mentioned here.
who?
Jay was funny as heck, loved his Shaq imitation. As for Jones I don't think anyone actually missed her.
I especially loved his Kanye impersonation.
@@whodat1721 Incorrect. I do. I thought she was funny.
These two hurt me the most. Both guys were great.
I clicked for Leslie 😂
Me too
Same
Glad she’s gone. Terrible actor.
Same ✋🤣❤
@@vinniedisco7 how would we know. Every time she gets a role it's the "crazy yelling black woman" she's never even getting cast in roles that actually have a chance of showing some of her skill
So Ben Stiller wanted to do Digital Shorts nearly two decades before Andy Samberg, neat.
Andy does a fantastic job though
@@siaracastic2515 Sometimes.
Norm was fired, quickly gained acclaim in movies and TV and was brought back to host 18 months later and he roasted the show in his opening monologue.
He was planning on walking out the door as he finished his monologue ...but thought better of it
The TRUTH: SNL slacks on letting deserving artists write skits that actually AIR.
*cough cough*
Kyle Mooney
*cough cough*
Like who?
@@trealsteve You have internet access, enjoy finding out for yourself.
The way I screeched kyle-
KYLE MOONEY!! His funny sketches always get cut for time.
Leslie Jones is 52? Is that possible? She looks early 40s at the most!
@527 Jetra You sound like the negative stereotype.
@527 Jetra You sound like the negative stereotype.
@527 Jetra She isn't as ugly as your attitude.
I was shocked by that too, and all this time I was thinking she was in her late Thirties to early Forties, but i still find her sexy regardless.
Gross
Not even going to mention the lifeblood of SNL, Eddie Murphy? Good list.
Oh my god yeah!
The sarcasm is strong with this one.
@Jon Hinson Obviously.
There was no hidden reason why he left. He left for movies and everyone knew that so no need for him to be mentioned
Really Really miss Leslie , rewatching her every episodes from SNL
People leave SNL for better opportunities
Simple
Literally, and they still make cameos
@@bandygreen2456 right..and she already over 50..
Exactly.....the same reason everyone leaves a job.
then what the hell is Keenan thompson still doing there after 57 years
I think that Robert Downey Jr and Nora Dunn deserve to be in this clip, as well as Janeane Garafalo.
downey was in snl?
@@TheSarcasticClown ya he was
When Downey was on, SNL was at its worst. Not Downey’s fault of course, just odd cast choices at the time. The cast was comprised of mostly established actors with zero skit, standup, and writing experience.
Lorne Michaels can be such a jerk sometimes. It’s no wonder Dr. Evil was based on him.
Wait, really???? That's hilarious!
I didn’t know that!
Really? Didn't know that either! So.......................I guess Mike Meyers and Lorne didn't get along and the Dr. Evil character was his revenge on Lorne?
Considering Lorne has been tossing NBC's salad to keep SNL on the air after its lost relevance.. I can see that as true.
I thought Dr evil was based on blofeld from "you only live twice"..and Austin powers as a parody of James bond himself
😳 wow! I didn't realize so many stars came from SNL!
In Living Color too💯
Where tf you been?!
@@playlist3340 😂 my bad I dont really watch tv like that?! Lol nbfrt
@@naomistar87 Facts. ILC launched a lot of careers.
SNL really traumatized these amazing actors and actresses but they also learned to better their craft after leaving and I’m happy to see some of them return
you have an odd definition of "traumatized"
"I'm 52, and Tired!" --- Leslie Jones. I feel you.
Chris Farley, Phil Hartman and Adam Sandler make up my favorite SNL era.
Mine too.
💯
Oh, man you have to add Billy Crystal, you have too!!!!
Norm MacDonald is the kinda guy who would incite a riot and then leave so he could watch the highlights on TV...
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.
Runner up on worst decision by NBC is dragging Martin Lawrence through the mud over absolutely nothing.
It's subjective. I actually stopped watching for a while after Dennis Miller left because Kevin, Norm and Colin just weren't funny (to me). I didn't really start watching again until Fallon and Fey stepped in.
I hated Norm, glad he was fired!
Abby Elliot deserves mention. She was great.
I was creative and they were different.... 👍🏾
Billy crystal movie
Out of that entire video nothing surprised me more or mqde my draw drop like hearing Leslie Jones' age... like forreal??? She does not look like she's in her 50's to me
Asians tend to age well too!
Adam Sandler came back as part of the cast in 2015 for the 40th anniversary episode before he hosted in 2019
Exactly. I love how people in the comments are correcting the video for not researching properly. I was like WTF ***** when that part cane up. 🤣
Did I miss the reason why Al Franken left SNL? Billy Crystal did stand up I believe on the very first season. He told a story once about Gilda Radner, himself, and SNL, but I never heard the whole story.
Im just going to say he was right 2020 people in the new millennium have FREAKED OUT!!
Many of them start in stand-up comedy, which is a very individually-creative genre. They may not necessarily fit well into sketch comedy, which usually involves group presentations and according to scripts written by other people.
Norm Macdonald is one of the funniest SNL cast members of all time
Facts to all of this. The guy who facilitated his undeserved firing is an idiot who probably thinks that Seth Myers Weekend update and the two new guys version is good. Only the “guest” they bring on to the anchor desk save the skit nowadays.
@Rios Salvajes I think Kevin Nealon was the best and Mr. Subliminal were the best during the Weekend Updates
I always wondered why they fired him. He was an amazing writer and a unique comedy style. And being fired for a oj joke of all things! Lol sucks
What???? No Jay Pharoah or Tarin Killiam???? I always wondered why they left
I think their contracts werent renewed.
Had no idea Adam Sandler was fired🤭
Him and Farley, believe it not, were never really liked by the folks in charge at NBC - obviously Lorne Michaels and the production team liked them, but the guys running the network weren't fans. But Farley and Sandler were so successful they had no choice but to keep them on but once ratings started to slide... bam, kicked to the curb.
What about rri Cheri Oteri ? She was gone with no explanation.
Cheri Oteri is my cousin.
@@cindyoteri1869 that's helpful and totally answers the question.
Was expecting Eddie to be here
Franken should never have resigned🤬🤬🤬
Agreed but then we would not have his terrific podcasts...l hope he runs again and l bet he'd win too
RIP Chris Farley
John Belushi
RIP John Belushi, not Jim
@@macmacreynolds8712 Thank you for the correction
In tears at 5:40
OMG, and Ben Stiller also went on to have The Ben Stiller Show which only lasted one year but garnered them an Emmy. It also featured former SNL writers like Bob Odenkirk.
And Janeane Garofalo. My favorite skit was the Marionette Cop LOL GINOOOOOO!!!!
Guess he called 'Saul' ahead of the 'Breaking Bad ' team!
What about my cousin Cheri Oteri?
7:09 he looks like Matt Gates 😂
Dennis Miller had a short lived talk show post SNL. ::flips page:: Oh! Then he had a long-running successful one on HBO! Weird how the story keeps going.
I love Leslie Jones she is so funny and talented she cracks me up
Ben Stiller could do Matt gaetz
Leslie is 52?? No way! I pegged her at 32! She looks great!
HUGE gifts to us were the firing of Sandler and Franken...legends both of them...
If you totaled them all up ( since 1975...)....I wonder how many films & other TV shows all of the cast members have appeared in.
I can't even keep track... almost all the original cast was made it, then throw in Robert Downey Jr. and even just Ferrell and Sandler alone.
I was hoping to hear about a few more
Yeah like Eddie Murphy
Yeah, like Robert Downey Jr, Nora Dunn, Janeane Garafalo, Tony Rosato, and Damon Wayans.
Al Franken was thinking about going back to SNL and Lorne Michaels said something like "I think America already decided they're not that into you"
I've never seen Larry David and Paul Shaffer in the same room...
Was expecting Julia Louis-Dreyfus...
Was also expecting Robin Duke and Mary Gross...
Oh, and Christine Ebersole...
At the Oscars award show once Chris rock said, "do you know you guys made some of the worst movies ever."and and that's why everyone hates Chris. Awm
Sometimes! But really enjoying his latest career turn as a villain.... he is really come into his own and he is good at it..Congratulations Chris!!
To whom was he directing that comment?
Shawn McLaughlin ,The old Saturday night cast in the audience. Awm
@@janicemurphy7878 Thank you. That was my assumption but you never know.
Leslie Jones is 52??!!!!!!
I loved Jones on the Black Jeopardy skit.
While SNL is still a very hysterical show, in my opinion, nobody can compare to these legends!!!
Leslie now hosts the new super market sweeps
😳 _50_ *_WHAT??!!_*
Harry Shearer is best known for Spinal Tap, not the Simpsons.
Keep in mind half the people watching this as well as the majority of the Nicki Swift workers weren't even born when 'This is Spinal Tap' was released.
The pressure for Franken to resign came from an overzealous group. After he resigned from the US govt, within a year he had been cleared of all allegations. He was a great, intelligent politician.
Really? About 7 women accused him of the allegations, so were they lying?
So we're going to forget about Eddie Murphy?
Apparently. That’s why this video sucks.
@@trealsteve He's only the 2nd most successful snl cast member in history...no big deal. They've been trying to wipe my dude from the history books for years.
No big mystery about why he left the show: he had a very successful movie career.
@@railroadtrash09 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
What about Bobby Moynihan and Pharaoh Cooper?
Didn’t know Me. Burns was on SNL
10-23-20
Missing several ppl
Leslie Jones wasn't terrible, but she didn't have a lot of range and usually just played loud and angry characters. Not to mention her frequent flubbing of lines and delivery, and breaking character too. Honestly was glad when I heard she was leaving the show because it just means they can replace her with someone better.
I never cared for her...she would often flub her lines and kill the joke.
I love Leslie !!! Miss her on SNL!!!
"In the new millennium, people will FREAK OUT! THEY'LL FREAK OUT!"--Paul Shaffer
Facts...
So...basically what you’re saying is Sarah Silverman can’t act? 🤣
Yep, she's more of a comedian than an actress. I find some of her stuff funny. Never thought of her as an actor though.
She was great in School of Rock with Jack Black
We need Katya Zamolochikova in SNL
yes, and let's not forget Zamirlin Phorohopovich, Kathanga Hammlinmantovil, and Arzonya Quentilzapach. :-P
I had no idea Leslie Jones is 52. She doesn't look 52 at all. She at least looks 20 years younger
I was shocked too! Had no idea. She looks amazing.
Actually, she's 53
I had no idea either! I'm so shocked I had to pause the video! 😄😄 She looks so so young for her age! I'm in admiration here.
Yes Just Eddie, Chris Rock. Blacks hardly age!
Nonsense. You're just bad at guessing age. Nobody younger than 40 would behave like she does.
Leslie Jones is also shooting a movie called Harambe, where she plays the lead. It is being filmed in Cincinnati and supposed to be out next year.
oYou could do a Part 2 of thisand cover more of the casr members.
Nah. We good. She couldn’t even get Part 1 right.
I can't think of one Leslie Jones sketch where she didn't trip over her words
💯
RIGHT. She was HORRIBLE, and messed up EVERY sketch she was in. I doubt she left on her own accord.
NOT ONE!
Fans of SNL were NOT sadden to learn of Leslie Jones departure. The fact that she was there for 5 years is beyond me.
That thumbnail is scary
seriously? you dont think that 10 commercials is 12 minutes is too much?
2:42 Wait a minute, wait a minute... like, Lord of the Rings composer HOWARD SHORE?! Holy shit.
How does Lorne Michael's not know about the sketch Jay was plagiarizing before it went on air? He's there during the rehearsals and the writers meetings at some point before a skit gets aired.
It happened in '95 the internet wasn't a big thing yet I'm pretty sure it was still dial-up and AOL CD's back then. So it was easier for people to plagiarize stand-up routines without getting busted. It was easier to lie about a lot of things without the internet and it's "detectives" lol
@@arizflowerchild ... its* detectives (it's = it is)
Wow, I had no idea Leslie was 55 years old. She has the energy and look of someone less than 40! You rock it Leslie!
What’s interesting is most of the people that left weren’t funny on the show and went on to have unsuccessful careers after the show there was only a few on this list that found success after Saturday night live.
More than half the list went on to be incredibly successful, it’s just they were big in the 80’s and 90’s and aren’t relevant today.
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.
Closet thing to that be my Science Teacher at Wilkinson middle School Coach Van Winkle To colds Uncle!!
Moral of this piece...Howard Stern is a GREAT interviewer!!!
Leslie looks 35 or 38 y.o.
She 53
@@AL-fz1ff She still looks young !
How long have you been near-sighted?
What? Leslie Jones is 52? Hell no, she looks 40 max😲😲
Chase is Weather Man Today I forgot what actual channel between the poor man's channels 4-5-8-11
How the hell do you leave OUT EDDIE?! 🤪😡
It was supposed to be for ones you didn't necessarily know about. Everybody knew that Eddie had made it big.
So why was Adam Sandler and Chris Farley fired? Anyone know?
Why were* AS and CF fired? Nobody at SNL liked them, and then the ratings dropped.
I loved Billy Crystal and Martin short.
I like Leslie Jones. She ought to get more work in better movies
Right now you can see how Leslie Jones has compressed 100 SNL hours and energy into her hosting talents for "Super Market Sweep". Wow! When she commits, she commits! Watch, you'll see.
Foh. She absolutely sucks!
I really dont think its that deep except for leslie, the others just left bc they had other career paths
Leslie Jones is brilliant 😎
Poor Chevy Chase. He probably thought that he was an outstanding comedic talent. He wasn't.
I still say to this that Chevy Chase's biggest enemy and downfall was Chevy Chase himself. He had a propensity to constantly ram his head up his own ass. He appeared on a talk show in the 90s (I think it was Charlie Rose?) and he went on a mini-tirade naming folks and ranting about his apparent lack of good quality work... and the host tried to get him to back off because comments like that can easily torpedo your career. But Chase didn't stop, and the host seemed genuinely disappointed and sad when he did his sign-off. He just saw a man cut off his own head in front of him after trying to stop him.
Chevy Chase is funny and talented, but he's also by all reports an enormous jerk and hard to work with. So yeah: his own worst enemy.
he was actually the first breakout star on the show. When he has the right vehicle he can shine - think "Fletch".
💖 Realmente extraño a la Sra. Leslie Jones. Era un personaje tan escandaloso y divertido. 💖
😍 I really miss Mrs. Leslie Jones. She was such an outrageous and funny character! 😍
Sometimes very creative people just don't fit in to the SNL machine, sometimes they are not good enough.
Sometimes they are too good!
I love Jones.
MadTV was the best.
Ugh, I wanted to know about Leslie Jones. I love her in naked n afraid, lol n other shows. (I had to wait til the end of this, 😐)
Like pulling teeth.
About snl, I'm not a big fan of snl, but with Eddie Murphy n Chris Farley n others. I watched it, with much enthusiasm.
I think snl is a start for a newbie to get recognized. Good luck n much love to my favorites who left. Thank you
NICKIS BACK! YASSS
You forgot Charles Rocket
Leslie Jones is 52?! I thought she was in her mid to late 30s!
She was 47 when she started at SNL, and everything about her made it pretty obvious that she did not grow up in the 1990s or later.
That Don Ohlmeyer character... the more I read about him, the less I care for him
Thumbnail is at the end fyi
Sheri Oteri is missing big in this list, as she seemed to very abruptly have left the show.
I didn’t know Leslie was 50 something. Wow 😳!!!!
Damn Leslie Jones left? Did they replace her with the skinny black girl
@Badazzthang apparently
Hi
