SNL Star Finds Peace After Firing
25 Oct
Summary
- Chloe Troast felt peace after being fired from SNL in 2024.
- She was unaware of the 'hold' placed on cast members.
- Other cast members like Devon Walker also found relief in leaving.
Chloe Troast, who was a cast member on Saturday Night Live during its 49th season, was let go in 2024. She recently discussed her exit from the show on the But Also Podcast, revealing that she experienced a sense of peace after her professional fate was decided.
Troast admitted she was unaware of the 'hold' that executive producer Lorne Michaels and others could place on cast members while deciding on contract renewals, a process she found potentially nerve-wracking. While her departure, like those of Michael Longfellow and Devon Walker, generated public awareness, Troast emphasized the support she received afterward.
Devon Walker, another former cast member, also discussed his exit last year, stating he was ready to leave. Michael Longfellow found his dismissal somewhat awkward due to its public nature. The article notes the supportive environment among SNL stars, even when departures are involuntary.
New episodes of Saturday Night Live air Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC and can be streamed on Peacock.
