"After eight great seasons, Will has made the decision to move on from SNL to pursue new opportunities," his representative told MTV in a statement. Forte, 40, is “eternally grateful” to SNL’s Executive Producer Lorne Michaels and “all of the incredible people” he got to work with. Perhaps his most notable character was the Macguyver-spoof character known as Macgruber, which spawned a movie in May. He also played roles including the Falconer and other eccentric characters. SNL will enter its 36th season with new episodes coming this fall. |
