Aidy Bryant is saying goodbye to Saturday Night Live after 10 years.

The actress and comedian, 35, marked the end of her SNL run over the weekend during the series' Natasha Lyonne-hosted episode.

Bryant got a sweet sendoff during the show's Weekend Update segment, where she appeared alongside Bowen Yang for the duo's beloved "Trend Forecasters" bit.

After showcasing which fruits are in for the summer, Bryant and Yang, 31, then spoke about time trends, where they broke character and subtly referenced Bryant's history with the late-night comedy sketch series.

"In: 10 nice years," Bryant said, as Yang added, "In: A friend I couldn't have done this without."

After Weekend Update host Michael Che asked about future trends, Bryant's character responded that "her best guys" bestowing her with a kiss was "in," which prompted Che, 39, and Yang to each smooch Bryant on the cheek.

Bryant also appeared in two sketches with Kate McKinnon, who also bid farewell during the SNL season finale — their fan-favorite "Close Encounter" cold open and an ad for "Grey Adult Pigtails."

Throughout her tenure, Bryant starred in an array of hilarious sketches and parodied many famous faces, among the likes of Ted Cruz, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and Wynonna Judd.
