Why did GE Smith leave SNL?

[RossMAN]

I remember seeing him in old episodes but did he quit or was canned?

Ugh Julia Stiles is hideous looking on tonight's episode. Yes we west coasters gotta wait 'till now to watch SNL.

 

[konichiwa]

I missed it.

The Martha Stewart opening skit was so-so.

So why did GE Smith leave SNL?

No way in Hell GE was canned. He probably left because he's got PLENTY going on for him without SNL. He's played with the best. Probably still is, somewhere. Last time I spotted him, he was playing with Bob Dylan. --And, if you didn't know, he's been gone for...I dunno...probably close to a decade now.

Hehe I guess it has been a while, yeah he probably quit for other opportunities.

yeah, bump cus I wanna see more comments, cus GE Smith rocks the house.

I think he has only been gone for about five years. I wish he would come back. Since the show usually sucks now we can have him play more.

Bio for G.E.Smith

GE Smith still tours with Hall and Oats. They go out about once a month for a few days. He also plays with other bands and does studio work. Remember He is a hired gun.

He was doing his solo standing on a bed in the Maneater video...
