There’s no new episode of “Saturday Night Live” on tonight, Saturday, Sept. 13. Season 51 of “SNL” premieres on Saturday, Oct. 4. The host and musical guest for the premiere have not been announced yet, although some fans have speculated that Taylor Swift might appear on the season premiere.

Ego Nwodim is the latest to leave the Saturday Night Live cast. Nwodim made the announcement on Instagram, and rather than let fans guess what happened to cause her exit, she readily offered in her statement that it was her own decision.

Over the past 25 years, “SNL” has welcomed and said goodbye to a handful of Black woman comedians: Maya Rudolph (who stops by every now and then), Leslie Jones, Punkie Johnson, Sasheer Zamata were all brought on after 2000. But only eight Black women have ever been official cast members throughout the show’s 50-year run.

One alum has won an Oscar. Another has a Grammy. Several have acquired Emmys and Tonys — and they all have been featured players in only a single season of Lorne Michaels' long-running sketch comedy series.

Bowen Yang is speaking out about the wave of departures from "SNL," including longtime cast member Heidi Gardner.

One of the more intriguing Emmy battles this year was Beyoncé going head-to-head with Saturday Night Live's celeb-filled 50th anniversary special. It turns out that the TV Academy voters enjoyed the latter.

Cecily Strong, Chloe Fineman and Jack Black all shared comments following Nwodim's decision to leave the sketch comedy series ahead of season 51.
