"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 tells Deadline. "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."

Applegate's departure is believed to be linked to the show's plans to switch from single-camera to multi-cam filming format and begin taping in front of a live studio audience.
