The star of NBC's Up All Night, is now the ex-star of NBC's Up All Night. Christina Applegate decided to leave the show. Rumour has it, Lisa Kudrow (Friends) will replace her.

The show has gone through many transformations and many say it's better to end the show. The last five episodes have yet to be taped in front of a live audience.

“It’s been a great experience working on Up All Night, but the show has taken a different creative direction and I decided it was best for me to move on to other endeavors,” Applegate said. “Working with Lorne Michaels has been a dream come true and I am grateful he brought me into his TV family. I will miss the cast, producers and crew, and wish them the best always.”

NBC would not comment.
