r/LiveFromNewYork on Reddit: Apologies for Being Late to the Party, but.. Heidi Gardner Was Let Go/Fired?
2 days ago -
Hello everyone.. I’m an SNL lover who hasn’t been following very closely for the last couple of seasons due to life reasons (most of them not bad at all, but just time-consuming)
Today while browsing the feed, I came across an article elsewhere on Reddit that suggested that part of the reason for Bowen’s abrupt midseason exit (aside from simply being busy and overwoked, which is understandable) was that he was upset with Heidi being fired.
Since I haven’t been following closely, I was a bit surprised. I had assumed that Heidi was just growing busy with other things (I see her in a lot of commercials, etc. now, which is nice!) and that she was ready to move on. But I am seeing now that perhaps she wanted to stay and wasn’t given the green light.
So for those of you who are following closely: would you be willing to fill me in on what happened with Heidi, and ELI5 for me? Did the Heidi situation also affect Ego? (I remember some being surprised by the timing of her exit announcement as well)
Top answer 1 of 5
10
Heidi was let go/"fired", and Ego left. Both after the season had completed (which is why neither got a proper goodbye). Bowen decided to leave mid-season and his timing allowed for a proper goodbye
2 of 5
7
Bowen’s “abrupt” exit: You mean the one that’s been discussed here for the past month and a half? Every summer the entire cast either gets rehired or let go. No one is guaranteed a spot season to season. But as far as I’m aware neither SNL nor Heidi or Ego has made any public statement about why they don’t return, so anything you’ve seen is pure speculation by people who are in no position to actually know.
