Jason Sudeikis confirms his ‘SNL’ exit: ‘I’m definitely done’

It’s official: “Saturday Night Live� will return in the fall without Jason Sudeikis.

The sketch comedy pro confirmed on Wednesday’s “The Late Show With David Letterman� that he’s left the NBC late-night staple after 10 years. Along the way, he’s goofed on such characters as Billy Ray Cyrus and “American Idol� winner Taylor Hicks.

“I’m definitely done,� Sudeikis, currently starring in the feature “We’re the Millers� and engaged to former “The O.C.� costar Olivia Wilde, told Letterman. “I’m not coming back next fall.�

Looks like “SNL� is in one of its periodic housecleanings. “Portlandia� star Fred Armisen and Bill Hader, famed for such impersonations as fey nightclub kid Stefon, have already announced their departures. Seth Meyers, the host of the “Weekend Update� segment and a longtime writer, is leaving to host NBC’s “Late Night.� And “Bridesmaids� star Kristen Wiig, another popular performer, left a couple of seasons back to pursue her movie career.

Sudeikis joined “SNL� in 2003 as a writer and became a featured performer in 2005.
