Saturday Night Live cast member Devon Walker has left the show, claiming the iconic TV comedy was sometimes “toxic as hell.”
The 34-year-old comedian announced his departure on Monday on his Instagram account. He posted a note with the cryptic title, ‘wait... did he quit or did he get fired?,’ a question he never directly clarified. His caption read, “me and baby broke up.”
After writing for Netflix sitcom Big Mouth, Walker joined the SNL cast in 2022, and was promoted to the repertory cast last year.
Comparing jobs in the entertainment industry to “a bunch of little marriages,” Walker said on Instagram, “some of ‘em last for a long time if we’re lucky, but most of them are fleeting. Permanent until they’re not.”
“That’s the deal. You know what it is when you sign up,” Walker added.
