"Saturday Night Live," a revolving door (and launch pad) for comic talent, is losing another prominent cast member.

Leslie Jones is not returning to the NBC sketch comedy show after five seasons, according to Deadline. She decided to leave before the end of her contract, which typically lasts for seven seasons.

Jones, 51, joined "SNL" as a writer and joined the cast full time in 2014. She reportedly wants to explore movie projects and has a Netflix comedy special in the works.

Meanwhile, Emmy-winner Kate McKinnon decided to re-up after seven seasons, and she's set to return to the show for an eighth one.
