Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Pete Davidson and Kyle Mooney leaving Saturday Night Live

Aw, man! This is leaving some major voids. Kate McKinnon is such a talent!!

Pete Davidson, Kate McKinnon, Kyle Mooney and Aidy Bryant are leaving "Saturday Night Live," a source familiar with the situation but not authorized to speak publicly tells USA TODAY.

Each comedian has been a fixture on the long-running NBC sketch show, which broadcasts live and features celebrity hosts, for several years. Davidson, 28, started on "SNL" in 2014 as one of its youngest cast members; McKinnon in 2012; Mooney in 2013 and Bryant in 2012.

"SNL" airs its Season 47 finale Saturday. NBC declined to comment.

Kate and Aidy will be missed, but they will most likely go on to do many other things. tanyev May 2022 #2

They are two of my favourites - Kate McKinnon could be the Carol Burnett of the 21st Century with the right team on the right show…instead of making mediocre movies.

I really didn't think much of Pete at first. He grew on me a bit, especially in the pre-recorded rap bits, but he never seemed comfortable in the sketch bits. He will probably go on to do a lot of things that I will never see.

Kyle? I don't know, I liked the running bit with him and Leslie Jones while she was there, but most of his other stuff was kind of "meh" for me.

I wonder about Cecily Strong. Wasn't there talk about her leaving last year?
