Jay Pharoah, Taran Killam Leave 'Saturday Night Live'
Jay Pharoah and Taran Killam will not be returning to Saturday Night Live for its 42nd season when it premieres this fall. So that leaves us with the question: Who will do President Obama impersonations for us? And on second thought, Obama will be out of office soon anyway, so actually Pharoah's timing is impeccable.
The Hollywood Reporter writes that the two comedians are leaving the show after six seasons each. For Killam, the departure was kind of unexpected. He told Uproxx that SNL decided not to pick up the last year of his seven-year contract. “I had sort of had it in my head I would make this upcoming year my last year, but then heard they weren’t going to pick up my contract,” he said. “I was never given a reason why, really.”
