In an August 25, 2025, Instagram carousel post, Devon confirmed he would not return to SNL for its 51st season. He included a screenshot of a computer note, which read, in part, “Me and the show did three years together, and sometimes, it was really cool,” Devon began in his statement, which was a screenshot of a Text Edit note from a computer. “Sometimes, it was toxic as hell. But we did what we made the most of what it was, even amidst all of the dysfunction. We made a f**ked up lil family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Devon’s note was titled, “wait..did he quit or did he get fired?\u201d but it’s still unclear if he left the show on his own accord or is he was let go.<\/p>\n
Read on to learn about Texas-native Devon Walker below.<\/p>\n Devon began his stand-up comedy career in Texas, and he was working his way to SNL<\/em> for years. He was included in the 2017 Comedy Central \u201cUp Next\u201d showcase and has been featured in various comedy festivals such as Clusterfest, Moontower Comedy Festival, and the Big Sky Comedy Festival, per The Stand<\/em><\/a>. He moved to New York City<\/a> in 2018 to pursue his comedy dreams further. Devon partnered with Comedy Central during the 2020 lockdown brought on by the coronavirus pandemic and created skits for social media, often collaborating with Grace Kuhlenschmidt.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n He also notably paired up with viral comedian Trevor Wallace<\/strong> in a fake game show skit for Comedy Central. “The network gave me one (1) episode of my own fake game show and said that if enough people watch they\u2019ll let me make more,” Devon wrote in the caption that accompanied a clip<\/a> of him and Trevor interacting. “So if you don\u2019t want me to succeed do NOT click the link in my bio.”<\/p>\n Just before his SNL<\/em> news, Vulture<\/em> <\/a>named him “A Comedian You Should Know”. He’s pretty impressive!<\/p>\n Devon is a writer on Netflix’s Big Mouth<\/em> and the Freeform series Everything\u2019s Trash<\/em>. On Sept. 1, 2022, he celebrated the premiere of an episode of Everything’s Trash<\/em> that he co-wrote. “First episode of tv I ever got to co-write is out today on hulu,” he wrote<\/a> alongside a screenshot of his writing credit. “There\u2019s a lot of people I have to thank for it, but I can\u2019t be that earnest online. Now I need y\u2019all to run them streaming numbers up, I\u2019m tryna buy a helicopter one day”.<\/p>\n Drake<\/strong> <\/a>is one of Devon’s favorite artists, which he has made well known on his Instagram page. His second post<\/a> on Instagram is from Drake’s 2015 Governor’s Ball performance. It’s simply a photo of Drake on stage, and he wrote no caption with it. Plus, he used a Drake lyric to caption a photo<\/a> of himself posing with a toddler in 2019. “I wasn\u2019t hiding my son from the world I -,” he captioned the picture, which are lyrics from Drake’s 2018 song, “Emotionless”.<\/p>\n One artist Devon clearly dislikes, though, is Post Malone<\/strong><\/a>. In Aug. 2019, he tweeted<\/a>, “truly no worse feeling than when a song sounds good and you ask who it\u2019s by and the response is ‘post malone'”. Another Twitter user replied to the comment and accused the comedian of using “hate”, to which he answered, “yea man that\u2019s the point of the tweet”. You can’t win them all.<\/p>\n Big Mouth<\/em> co-creator Nick Kroll<\/strong><\/a> enlisted Devon to open up for his comedy gigs several times in 2021, which the rising star celebrated on Instagram and called “cool as hell.”<\/a> It’s not clear if he started writing for the animated comedy series before or after he opened for Nick.<\/p>\n Never feel bad if you\u2019re late to work. Your job knows who you are and should plan accordingly. That\u2019s on them<\/p>\n — Devon Walker (@internetdevon) May 15, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"Devon](\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Devon-Walker-SNL-5-Things-NBC-embed1.jpg?resize=620%2C921\")
