On Monday, the cast of Saturday Night Live saw a significant shake-up ahead of the debut of Season 47 in just a few weeks when it was announced that not only was long-time cast member Beck Bennett departing the series after eight seasons, but Lauren Holt was also departing. Holt had signed onto Saturday Night Live prior to Season 46 and is departing after just one season. Now, Holt is breaking her silence on leaving SNL. Holt took to Instagram sharing a photo of the clock on the SNL stage along with a message describing her time on the series as “an incredible year spent with incredible people.” “What an incredible year spent with incredible people. I will always be so grateful. Cheers to all the cast members past, present, & future,” she wrote. “So proud to be/have been a part of this amazing family. These three letters will always bring joy to my heart… SNL, I love you.”
