Will Forte Leaving *BOOM*

Because MacGruber was such a huge success.

After eight seasons of portraying eccentric characters like Andy the “Ohhhhhhhh, Noooooooo!” guy and totally heroic ones like MacGruber, Will Forte will not return for this fall’s 36th season of Saturday Night Live, according to the New York Times. Forte’s parting was reportedly at his own choosing and he plans to pursue other projects.

Maybe we'll finally get The Brothers Solomon 2.

Like cleaning the garage.

He was good on 30 Rock as a Jenna impersonator and manic fan.

Took me a second to get the MacGruber reference in the thread title.

I'll miss Forte. The sexual predator neighbor character was a skit that showed some promise. I wonder what other projects he is planning on pursuing?

I liked Will.
I guess he can be the closet organizer guy full-time now.

That sucks. Now Kristen Wiig will be in more sketches and she is already in too many sketches.

That Macgruber skit was one of the worst. Good riddance.

He probably had the funniest George W. Bush impression.

He did start out as a writer and story editor for Action!, 3rd Rock From The Sun and That 70's Show, so he could be going that direction again.
