EW YORK, N.Y. -- 
Caption Fred Armisen has confirmed he has left “Saturday Night Live” after 11 years.
Armisen dispelled any doubt about his exit in an interview posted Monday by comedy website Splitsider.
“SNL”
often doesn’t announce its cast changes, but the show’s season finale
in May concluded with a farewell for Armisen and Bill Hader.
Armisen
says he felt as though his departure from “SNL” was “obvious”
considering in his last sketch he sang “It’s been a lovely night with
you” as British punk rock character Ian Rubbish. He was accompanied by
several friends and musicians including Carrie Brownstein, his co-star
on the IFC sketch show “Portlandia.”
Armisen
says he left partly because “Portlandia” was demanding more time and
because “it felt like a very healthy, good time to do it.”
