NBC's Saturday Night Live star Punkie Johnson confirmed via Instagram that they're departing SNL ahead of its upcoming 50th season. This is the part of the Saturday Night Live off-season that we're not a big fan of at all. Taking to Instagram to make it official after addressing the matter during a comedy show on Wednesday night, SNL star Punkie Johnson confirmed that they would not be returning to NBC's long-running late-night sketch comedy/music series. "After four seasons, I will not be returning to SNL for the 50th," Johnson noted. "There is no bad blood, there is no bridges burnt, there is no hurt feelings. SNL was a dream I didn't even know I could achieve. I was part of one of the most elite institutions in comedy, and I'm so grateful for it… but my time there has come to an end." Joining SNL as a featured player in Season 46, Johnson would make the move to main player status going into the 48th season of the show.
