"Saturday Night Live" is about to lose it's most seasoned performer ... Kenan Thompson will be leaving the show after this season.
Sources connected to SNL say... Thompson -- the most tenured African-American cast member in the show's history -- planned to leave last season, but decided to stay after head honcho Lorne Michaels asked him to stay on ... citing the show's massive turnover this season.
We're told Kenan has no hard feelings and is leaving on great terms. Sources say he's in talks for a new show and plans on moving to L.A. (with his wife and brand new baby) when the season ends.
