Devon Walker has announced his departure from “Saturday Night | |
Live.” | |
The comic, who had appeared on the show for three seasons, | |
“To me, jobs in this industry feel like a bunch of little marriages. | |
Some of em last for a long time if we’re lucky, but most of them are | |
fleeting. Permanent until they’re not,” Walker wrote. “That’s | |
the deal. You know what it is it when you sign up.” | |
He added: “Me and the show did three years together, and sometimes it | |
was really cool.” | |
“Sometimes it was toxic as hell,” Walker continued. “But we did | |
what we made the most of what it was, even amidst all of the | |
dysfunction. We made a f***ed up lil family.” | |
He thanked friends and fellow “SNL” writers Alex English and Gary | |
Richardson, with whom he ran the DAD comedy show at New York’s Jane | |
Hotel, noting that the three of them “really went from running a bar | |
show to working together at 30 Rock!” | |
“Anyway, I’m bout to go to Japan,” Walker concluded his note. | |
“When I get back I’m tryna be in a prestige drama. Ideally | |
something with Julianne Moore. Hope y’all staying hydrated and | |
getting some money today.” | |
“Just to be clear, this is good news!” he wrote in a subsequent . | |
“It was just time for me to do something different. Please don’t be | |
hitting me with the ‘I’m so sorry’ — we not on that at ALL,” | |
he wrote. “Sometimes mom and dad just don’t see things eye to | |
eye.” | |
