\n\tAfter three seasons, Devon Walker<\/a> has exited the cast of \u201cSaturday Night Live.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWalker shared the news in an Instagram post on Monday<\/a>, in which he expressed mixed feelings about late-night sketch series. In one slide of the post, a screenshot of a note written on a computer, he wrote, \u201cMe and the show did three years together, and sometimes it was really cool. Sometimes it was toxic as hell,\u201d he wrote in the post. \u201cBut we did what we made the most of what it was, even amidst all of the dysfunction. We made a fucked up lil family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s unclear whether or not it was Walker\u2019s choice to leave the show \u2014 a question Walker poked fun at in his announcement. At the top of the computer note containing his statement is a title that reads: \u201cwait..did he quit or did he get fired?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWalker\u2019s post also included behind-the-scenes photos from his time on \u201cSNL<\/a>,\u201d a screenshot of him texting someone the words \u201cI\u2019m out\u201d paired with an emoji of a face wearing a party hat, and a photo of Joe Biden appearing to trip on a staircase in the rain. He captioned the photos, \u201cme and baby broke up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWalker first joined \u201cSNL\u201d as a featured player during Season 48 before being promoted to the repertory cast for Seasons 49 and 50. Before \u201cSNL,\u201d his credits included writing for Netflix\u2019s \u201cBig Mouth\u201d and Freeform\u2019s \u201cEverything\u2019s Trash.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSee Walker\u2019s full statement below.<\/p>\n

\n\tTo me, jobs in this industry feel like a bunch of little marriages. Some of em last for a long time if we\u2019re lucky, but most of them are fleeting. Permanent until they\u2019re not. That\u2019s the deal. You know what it is it when you sign up.<\/p>\n

\n\tMe and the show did three years together, and sometimes it was really cool. Sometimes it was toxic as hell. But we did what we made the most of what it was, even amidst all of the dysfunction. We made a fucked up lil family.<\/p>\n

More than anything, I\u2019m just really happy I got to do it with Gary and Alex. N\u2014\u2013 really went from running a bar show to working together at 30 rock! It\u2019s a beautiful thing. Also I look caked up in that picture and I feel like it\u2019s important for people to know what I got going on.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnyway, I\u2019m bout to go to Japan. When I get back I\u2019m tryna be in a prestige drama. Ideally something with Julianne Moore. Hope y\u2019all staying hydrated and getting some money today.<\/p>\n
