SNL cast member Cecily Strong took to Instagram
last night to publicly comment on her departure from the Weekend Update desk. Strong is being
replaced by Daily Show correspondent Michael Che.
In her Instagram post, Strong writes, "I don't see this as me leaving update, just as me being on
update in a looser, goofier way that is a lot more fun for me and in a way I think I'm better at. And
