“SNL” supervising producer Ken Aymong is retiring after working on the NBC sketch comedy show for more than three decades.

“Saturday Night Live” cast member Colin Jost acknowledged Aymong’s exit on the show’s Oct. 2 episode – which was also its 47th season premiere – by holding up a sign that read, “We’ll miss you, Ken.”

Aymong joined the show in 1985, serving under executive producer Lorne Michaels for most of that time, tracking the show’s finances and revenue.

This is one of the latest changes to a long-living television program, among staff and cast rotations. Three new faces have joined the comedy cast — Aristotle Atharz, Sarah Sherman and James Austin Johnson, who debuted on Saturday as President Biden.
