The Megalopolis actress, Chloe Fineman, broke the news of her exit from SNL through Instagram, where she shared a carousel post with a long emotional caption on July 16, 2026.

While she referred to working on SNL as the "greatest privilege", Fineman also mentioned how she fell in love with the show and got the opportunity to work alongside some of the most talented and well-established people in showbiz. Chloe's caption read:

"After 7 wonderful seasons at SNL I have decided it’s time for my next chapter. It’s cliche to say this but working at SNL has been the greatest privilege of my life. I still can’t really believe I got to be a part of it. I fell in love with the place the second I walked through the door. Lorne (if you’re reading this on your burner account) I want you to know that I am forever in your debt."

She continued and wrote:

"Every day I was lucky enough to be surrounded by the best people in the business, and I was constantly amazed watching them work."

While talking about putting in all the effort into developing a sketch for the show, Fineman wrote:

"You respect it so much that you give it absolutely everything you have even when it’s incredibly stupid. So you’re ecstatic when it works out and the most devastated you’ve ever been when it doesn’t. And in the end it doesn’t matter all that much but it did at the moment."

As she expressed how she will be missing the show, Fineman concluded by writing:

"It’s really hard to leave SNL but it does feel like the right time. I’m going to miss it a lot. But the people who work there are my family and that place is my home, and I know I’ll never be too far away."
