Major changes are happening at Saturday Night Live as the show’s 51st season approaches amid the 2025 TV schedule. So far, multiple cast members have exited the show. Leaving alongside them is Michael Longfellow, who appeared on the sketch comedy series for three seasons before recently being let go. While Longfellow addressed his departure shortly after it was reported, he’s now shared details on how he learned the news himself as well as one of the cruddiest parts of his firing.
The additional information from Michael Longfellow was revealed when he appeared as a special guest at a show headlined by former co-star James Austin Johnson (who is returning for SNL Season 51). Per The Daily Beast, 31-year-old Longfellow looked “super bummed” while fielding questions about his firing. As for how he found out he’d been let go, Longfellow explained that he was in an airport waiting to board a flight alongside other passengers when his agent called him with the news.
