Beck has been one of my favorites for years. Even when no one knew who he was and he was doing those commercials with the kids. I am really sorry to read this.The SNL Cast for the upcoming 2021-22 season (Season 47) will be nearly unchanged from last year. Beck Bennett who notably parodied Mike Pence and Vladimir Putin is leaving after 8 seasons. Lauren Holt also departs. The rest of the cast remains the same and there will be 3 new additions.

Me too. He's one of my favorites.Most people expected to see Pete Davidson leave. Glad to see he's staying, at least for now.
Probably why she left after 1 season. She wasn’t in much.I don't even know who Lauren Holt is.
According to a Vulture article, Holt had the least amount of screen time.Probably why she left after 1 season. She wasn’t in much.
