Why did Aidy Bryant quit SNL?
Aidy Bryant left Saturday Night Live after the most recent Season 47, along with fellow stars Pete Davidson, Kate McKinnon, and Kyle Mooney. It was a decision she made on her own, although it came at a pivotal time in “SNL” history.
Bryant in an interview with Variety revealed why she left the sketch comedy show; “If it weren’t for COVID, I probably would have left a few years earlier. But it was such a huge change”. When COVID hit, it was so jarring that we were all like, “I’m definitely going to come back next year.” And then I had to shoot “Shrill” for half of last season, and so I missed a lot. And then it was like, “Well, now I should go back one more.” I kept trying to seek one last normal year. This year wasn’t the normal year that I hoped for, but it was closer to that. It was like, “OK, it’s really time now.” And 10 felt like a nice, solid round number”.
