“Saturday Night Live” bid farewell to four beloved cast members this weekend during an emotional season finale. Hosted by Natasha Lyonne with musical guest ...

Additionally, Davidson, McKinnon, Mooney and “Baby Aidy” Bryant all got shout-outs during one of Saturday’s digital shorts. During the show’s wacky cold open sketch, McKinnon also said so long to “SNL” in her own chaotic way. Davidson became one of the youngest “SNL” cast members ever when he joined the show at age 20 in 2014. “When I auditioned for ‘SNL,’ he looked me right in the eye and said ... ‘I don’t think you’re right for this show, so let’s screw this up together.’ And that’s exactly what we did. “Thank you, guys.” “In three years, Fox News went from calling me a monster for making fun of Congressman Dan Crenshaw’s eyepatch to also making fun of Dan Crenshaw’s eyepatch.

Aidy Bryant and Kyle Mooney reportedly also are leaving the show.

“I got to share so much with this audience and literally grow up in front of your eyes.” In the section of the skit in which the comedians predict what will be in or out in the future, Bryant, who has been on the show for a decade, says, “In: 10 nice years.” “I figured since I’m a stand up I’ll just try my stand up and personal bits on Weekend Update as myself and I’m so glad I did,” said the Instagram post, which was signed by Davidson, who is not on the social media platform.

"Saturday Night Live" concluded its 47th season by celebrating the apparent departures of some of the show's brightest talents in the new century.
