Ben Affleck’s ex Lindsay Shookus is out at “Saturday Night Live,” Page Six is told.
Shookus, 42, has been at “SNL” since 2002 and rose through the ranks to producer.
As part of a show revamp for its upcoming 48th season, she was reportedly offered a new role, but declined to take it.
One source said: “Lindsay has been at the show for 20 years, she’s been a producer since 2012. They’re shaking things up.
“She was offered another job on the show, but she decided to move on.”
It’s not yet known if Shookus has taken a new job elsewhere yet.
She hit the headlines when she had an on-off relationship with Affleck, 50, between 2017-2019. The pair finally called it quits in April 2019.
She is a friend of stars including Jon Hamm and has been spotted partying with A-Rod.
Affleck will this week celebrate his recent wedding to Jennifer Lopez at a lavish bash at her Georgia estate. The Oscar winner was seen Thursday with his new wife and his kids in Savannah ahead of the celebration.
Shookus was hired as former “SNL” producer Marci Klein’s assistant. She has been responsible for finding new talent and booking musical guests and won six Emmy awards in her time at the show.
Reps for Shookus and “SNL” were unavailable for comment.
