Lindsay Shookus exits 'SNL' after 20 years

Producer Lindsay Shookus has left her longtime role as a producer on NBC's "Saturday Night Live."

The six-time Emmy Award winner, who previously dated Ben Affleck after meeting on the show, departed after declining an offer to take on another role.

On Friday, the 42-year-old six-time Emmy Award winner took to Instagram to announce her exit from the show. 

"After 20 seasons at Saturday Night Live (and 415 live shows - I counted!), I have decided to trade in the wild late nightlife and move on from the show,"

Shookus continued, "When I started in 2002, I was a baby from Buffalo, NY who didn't know anything about the business, except that I so badly wanted to be somehow part of it.

I found my place at SNL and I've spent the past two decades developing the most incredible friendships and memories alongside some truly brilliant and talented people."
