The lovable fat dude who reportedly was fired from Saturday Night Live wrote in a blog post on his Myspace page Tuesday that he decided to quit the variety show, despite not having anything new lined up.
Hi my Dear fans and friends alike, I have decided to not return to Saturday Night Live this season. I wish the best to everyone at the show and expect them to have a great season. It's been a wonderful eight years and I am grateful for all the friends I was able to make and all the great people I had the pleasure of working with. I want to give a big thank you to all my fans for your kind comments and well wishes. I look forward to making you laugh in the future, and hopefully not behind the counter at Burger King. Goodnight my dears!
