Strong:

>Ten and a half years ago I got my dream job. The first actual work day I tried to be very cool and make it look like I knew what I was doing and I was supposed to be there,” she said. “I left that night around 11 after saying goodbye to everyone. I got stuck wandering around the building because none of the elevators went to the first floor and I was trying so hard to avoid having to go back upstairs to ask for help because I’d already said goodbye!!!”

>I’m sorry I’ve been a little quiet about it publicly. I didn’t want the extra pressure on something already so emotional for me, and I’m so grateful I got to have these wonderful past six shows to help me ease into it and get to meet and laugh and probably overly hug Molly, Marcello, Devon, and Michael who I think are not only brilliantly funny but really great humans. I am ready to go, but I’ll always know home is here. I’ve had the time of my life working with the greatest people on earth.

Her sketch with Bill Hader as her old boyfriend "Boris" is probably one of my favorite sketches they've done.

Was shattered she didn’t do a final Judge Piro or drunk girl at party you wish you didn’t start talking to, but it was a lovely send off

Both of those were fantastic, though I think her last bit as Judge Piro was perfection (when she sang My Way with all that wine, it was amazing)

That sketch made me think she was leaving soon, tbh.

I thought that was her last episode, she seemed a bit teary eyed during the opening, so I'm glad we got a few more episodes with her

Did they ever do a drunk uncle and drunk party girl bit? Both are some of my favorites new appearances.

Colin looked legitimately heartbroken. :(

I think Che was so sad he didn’t even make it to the stage after… they both looked devastated

Neither her or Che were having fun during Update it was so obvious.

Anyone noticed she finally got that damn cigarette lit on Weekend Update?!

LavernMan t1_j0vbm8v wrote

My partner noticed it right away. After that revelation, I was all smiles.

If you watch closely you can see her get excited and comment on it. Going to miss her sooooo much

TheDocWhovian t1_j0wn66k wrote

She literally says exactly that right after she lights it.

DyingToGetIn t1_j0wnky0 wrote

You’d be surprised at how many people missed that. It looked like it almost caught her off guard.

TheDocWhovian t1_j0woo3k wrote

It’s possible she thought it’d be a prop cigarette that didn’t actually draw when she tried to light it. But knowing SNL, of course it’s a regular cigarette.

I love that she got 2 sendoffs in the show, I'm really going to miss her on the show, and seeing Colin look so sad at the end broke my heart.

sucks to see her go - especially with all the other departures, it was like "well at least they still have Kenan and Cecily"

oops.

My wife and I were just commenting about how much we like her in the cold opening.

Vidogo t1_j0yykby wrote

not to diminish the contributions of the other women on SNL the past four-five years, but yes. she was the best one. "Drunk Girl You Regret Talking To At A Party" never missed,

So bummed to see her go, I’ve got such a crush on Cecily. She’s immensely talented and I love her confidence. I’m sure she’ll land some quality roles outside of SNL.

My wife and I quote the original Blue River Dog Food sketch daily. It’s perfect and she’s perfect in it.

BeekyGardener t1_j0wtegp wrote

Cecily Strong and Kate McKinnon are two of SNL's greatest performers. Both could do practically any character in any sketch.

SNL had a lot of talent during the 2010s. Eager to keep seeing the new crop of performers, but the last decade is a tough act to follow.

wee bit strange with austin butler in the middle of it all after a solid week of knowing her.

Move over charity volunteers! You've been replaced by *checks notes* Kenan Thompson? Is that right?

In 20 years when she releases her book: "It was so toxic there! I always hated everyone but never felt comfortable voicing that."

Well you're a Packers fan. You don't sound aware of a lot of things.
