Molly Kearney Leaves Saturday Night Live

Molly Kearney, the first nonbinary cast member of 'Saturday Night Live,' announced their departure from the show after two seasons. Kearney, who joined SNL in 2022, shared their gratitude and reflections on social media, highlighting the experience as a 'dream come true' and expressing love for the cast and crew. This announcement came shortly after fellow cast member Punkie Johnson also confirmed her exit ahead of the show's upcoming 50th season. Kearney's tenure included notable moments such as a memorable Weekend Update segment addressing anti-LGBTQ legislation. Support and well wishes poured in from former and current SNL cast members, including Molly Shannon and Bowen Yang. Both exits mark a significant transition as SNL prepares for its landmark season.
