I always hate when a long time cast member leaves during the off season so they don't get a chance of a goodbye on their final episode.

I won’t miss her. Sorry to say I never found her all that funny. I felt she dragged the sketches rather than make them humorous.

Yet I know she has her fans who will miss her.

Not exactly a fan, but I felt she was a welcome voice of the black woman. She made me laugh as much as she made me cringe.

reply

Same.

She doesn't exactly have a lot of range as an actor.

Also, she flubs her lines more than anyone in SNL history.

I thought she was very funny. I'm going to miss her. I'm glad Kate McKinnon is staying.

Good riddance!

you no like??

She had one and only one persona: "Loud, angry black woman". That's all she can play. She has no range to effectively play anything else. You just can't work that into too many skits.
