Ego Nwodim departed Saturday Night Live after seven years to pursue varied acting opportunities beyond sketch comedy. She likened her tenure to a long relationship and expressed a desire to explore other creative work. Nwodim said she learned a great deal and enjoyed her time while missing colleagues, but felt ready to make space for new projects.
