    They look genuinely emotional to see her go.



  4. David Carlin on December 20, 2022 at 3:16 am

    Not understanding why so many key people left SNL? Why would Lorne let so many good performers leave???



  5. G H on December 20, 2022 at 3:16 am

    You will be missed Cecily!



  6. TC on December 20, 2022 at 3:16 am

    Thank you Cecily!!! You are Awesome!!!



  7. Hannah Crouch on December 20, 2022 at 3:20 am

    She finally got her cigarette lit :,)



  8. Julissa Alvarez on December 20, 2022 at 3:20 am

    Thank you for the amazing memories, grade A performances. Can’t wait to see what you do next. But even if you just rest, I truly appreciate the laughs. Thank you. 😢 😭



  9. Stephen Mataganog on December 20, 2022 at 3:22 am

    We are losing a legend. 😥
    Cecily is so amazing! I hope she go out and does more great things.❤



  10. Alex Κallianos on December 20, 2022 at 3:23 am

    We love you Cecily. You BETTER host soon please, with Aidy and Kate… That would be a dream



  11. Darryl Nelson on December 20, 2022 at 3:23 am

    Dang it all! My woman is leaving the show? Hawg wash!



  12. 🌹sarah🌹 on December 20, 2022 at 3:25 am

    I will miss Cecily, I loved her on SNL but it was sad not seeing her with Aidy on the show since they started their comedic journey together. I can’t wait to see her in a funny film or TV series Cecily will be missed ❤



  13. Who Cares on December 20, 2022 at 3:25 am

    She finally lit her cigarette. 😭



  14. John Baker on December 20, 2022 at 3:26 am

    OK then let’s go



  15. AH on December 20, 2022 at 3:27 am

    Why is she leaving



  16. Angie Sunnie on December 20, 2022 at 3:28 am

    SNL lost a winner! 💐💖💐💖💐💖



  17. Sam Manning on December 20, 2022 at 3:29 am

    Cecily has single handedly carried this entire show on her back



  18. Val Orlandini on December 20, 2022 at 3:29 am

    She finally lit it!



  19. landonfolken03 on December 20, 2022 at 3:29 am

    Ughhhhhhhhhhh Cecily was one of my absolute favorites.



  20. Definitely Not 2 Raccoons In A Trench Coat on December 20, 2022 at 3:30 am

    I know Cecily will probably never read this, but you gave me some of the hardest laughs from SNL I’ve ever had. Without a doubt SNL will miss you – but, so will me and my partner, as will those whom you’ve entertained. You don’t know us, but we quote you – (and the writers, real talk) – often. Good luck in your next endeavor. Thanks for the laughs. ❤



  21. M Rod on December 20, 2022 at 3:30 am

    You have and always will be a super talented and classy lady..best of luck! 🥰



  22. eclectica1 on December 20, 2022 at 3:32 am

    I didn’t know about Cecily’s departure announcement prior to this. Once the penny finally dropped upon seeing the still image of her with Colin on WU in her anchor days, I was stunned.

    She’s definitely outgrown the show now, but she’ll still definitely be missed.



  23. alexthegreek on December 20, 2022 at 3:33 am

    With this exit this is the official end for the good funny era of SNL forever 🥺



  24. Micael Sega on December 20, 2022 at 3:33 am

    Wait, Is this her leaving SNL???🤔😖🤯



  25. Ricardo Garza on December 20, 2022 at 3:34 am

    I will miss her wit, her smile and her fearlessness.



  26. Victoria Doan on December 20, 2022 at 3:34 am

    Noooo! I can’t believe she’s leaving too! So many have left so quickly! What’s going on? I can’t stand Sarah Sherman and they’re trying real hard to push her! She’s loud and obnoxious



  27. Carnelian Fox on December 20, 2022 at 3:37 am

    So the trend setter retired, Colleen Rafferty got taken to space as a peace offering and now our dear lady Catherine Annette Vanderbilt is going to keep it real on the inside.



  28. Emily Lian on December 20, 2022 at 3:38 am

    It’s an end of an era in my opinion. Kate, Aidy, Vanessa, Cecily; all of them. They’re gone now 😭 they’re definitely ushering in an entire new cast and I’m anxious to see what they do. They have HUMONGOUS shoes to fill.



  29. John M on December 20, 2022 at 3:39 am

    <3



  30. Ako Mahmoodi on December 20, 2022 at 3:40 am

    noooooooo i’ll dislike this 😥



  31. Zack Reed on December 20, 2022 at 3:40 am

    She finally lit it. I’m not crying I have smoke in my eye.



  32. E Ben on December 20, 2022 at 3:42 am

    Collin seem very sad / hurt that she’s leaving



  33. Andrea Martinez on December 20, 2022 at 3:42 am

    Nooooooooo (that was a selfish "No"), but congratulations Cecily. I know you have bigger things planned.



  34. Roadrider_27 on December 20, 2022 at 3:46 am

    Noooo, not Cecily 🙁 🙁 🙁



  35. Jesse on December 20, 2022 at 3:51 am

    Oh man I love her so much



  36. Saner on December 20, 2022 at 3:51 am

    Another GREAT leaves SNL, I’ll look for you on your next project Cecily🫶🕊️



  37. S. E. C-R on December 20, 2022 at 3:52 am

    There’s officially no reason to watch #SNL anymore. #CecilyStrong is the last of the modern SNL greats that kept me hanging on. She was one of the funniest and most versatile cast members they’ve had in a long time and will be greatly missed on the show. With that said, I am excited for her to be expanding her career, I can’t wait to see where the future takes her!
    Good luck #Cecily ❤



  38. Gina Basnuh on December 20, 2022 at 3:57 am

    Sad to see you go, but I understand. Thank you for the laughs.❤



  39. HEIDRO on December 20, 2022 at 3:57 am

    This was one of my favorite weekend update characters 😆



  40. Swift Dog 49er on December 20, 2022 at 3:57 am

    I am so going to miss her!!! 😢



  41. Dragon Rider on December 20, 2022 at 3:58 am

    You will be missed lovely, talented lady.



  42. 🌹sarah🌹 on December 20, 2022 at 3:58 am

    Her playing Cathy Anne for her last skit is beyond perfect 🥰 Cecily is a pure gem



  43. Bill Gates leaving ya moms house on December 20, 2022 at 4:00 am

    Legend



  44. Rodney C on December 20, 2022 at 4:00 am

    This has to more than a coincidence. Why are all the best actors leaving SNL?
    Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney, Pete Davidson, Melissa Villaseñor, Alex Moffat, Aristotle Athari and Chris Redd and gone within a years time frame. The actors they are being replaced with aren’t funny. This show isn’t the same. No reason to watch anymore.



  45. Ian Cowan on December 20, 2022 at 4:01 am

    Two things I took special notice of… The look in her eyes as she spoke about her love of everyone… And her reaction and treatment of the cigarette she lite!



  46. Carmen Gomez on December 20, 2022 at 4:02 am

    She is awesome can’t wait to see what the future has in store for her!



  47. BiddNo Ro on December 20, 2022 at 4:02 am

    She will forever be one of my favorite cast members. Gonna miss her.



  48. Hannah Crouch on December 20, 2022 at 4:03 am

    Damn I’m glad she called out Michael’s hair



  49. spokane student on December 20, 2022 at 4:06 am

  50. Jane Adams on December 20, 2022 at 4:10 am
