Chloe Troast is leaving “Saturday Night Live” after one season.
The 27-year-old comedian and actress revealed on social media Wednesday that her exit from the NBC sketch comedy series ahead of Season 50 “was not my choice.”
“Hey everyone! I wanted to let you know that I will not be on ‘SNL’ next season,” she wrote in a TikTok video.
“This was not my choice, I wish I was there getting to be with my friends,” Troast added. “It truly felt like a second home. Thank you to everyone. I love you all.”
“Unfortunately I was not asked back to SNL this season. I wish I was going back to be with all the amazing friends I made there, it truly felt like home. But it wasn’t in the cards,” she wrote.
“I wanna thank everyone who supported me. Especially everyone who came to see my tour this summer, wore costumes from characters and had such wonderful things to say. You mean everything to me. I hope I was able to spread joy and laughter, all love.”
Troast joined “SNL” as a featured player for Season 49. She made her debut on the Oct. 14, 2023, episode.
Fans were disappointed hearing Troast was seemingly fired from the show.
“There must be tea because this makes no sense. Like what really happened???” one person commented on Troast’s TikTok.
“I talked to my team. I was like, ‘Look, I don’t really know if I belong at this job, so maybe I should step away,’” she said on the “Fly on the Wall” podcast.
She added, “But I told them super, super late, like right after I found out I got to go back. And it was like, ‘Well Punkie, you need a plan. You can’t just quit your job.’”
“Reflecting on the amazing 2 seasons I got on this show, it was such a dream come true. So incredibly grateful for this period in my life.”
“So much love to all my big hearted buddies behind the scenes who make the magic happen every week,” Kearney added. “So many bald caps, so little time.”
The cast of the new season of “SNL” will include many returning stars, including Michael Che, Colin Jost, Bowen Yang, Heidi Garner, Chloe Fineman, Mikey Day, Kenan Thompson and Ego Nwodim.
New featured players include Ashley Padilla, Emil Wakim and Jane Wickline.
