Cecily Strong has responded to her ousting from “Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update” just one day after news broke that she would be replaced by comedian and “Daily Show” correspondent Michael Che. She took to Instagram to assure fans that she’s fine with it and actually kind of prefers it.
“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,” Strong wrote. “And now I get to do features with the very funny and wonderful Michael Che! No point in being angry or sad for me for something I’m genuinely happy about! Unless you are just a person who enjoys being angry or sad.
