Several followers expressed their eagerness to follow her on her next adventure, with one fan admitting that she was the main reason they continued watching SNL last season.

As for Troast's future plans, the comedian has not announced any upcoming shows or events on her social media pages as of Tuesday, September 10th. Fans are left wondering what lies ahead for the talented comedian after the conclusion of her summer tour and departure from SNL.

The 50th season of SNL is set to premiere on September 28th, with a special 50th-anniversary celebration scheduled for February 16th. The show airs on NBC on Saturday nights at 11:30 p.m. For those unable to catch it on television, SNL can also be streamed on the platform Peacock.
