NBC announced Tuesday that Marshall is joining the show’s cast as a featured player for the coming 51st season; with that came news that Higgins is leaving the show to pursue other opportunities, while Herlihy will remain a writer. Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that with the trio splitting up, no more Please Don’t Destroy sketches are planned.
