"My departure was mutual and amicable. My choice not to do Trump comedy is unrelated and hopefully moot after this election anyway," Rebecca Drysdale clarified on Twitter. "This has been spun into something it isn't, one part is something that happened professionally. The other is a personal creative choice based on many experiences over the past several years," she continued. "I have nothing but love and respect for the hardest working crew and staff and writers that work at The Tonight Show," she further emphasized, " and anything that reads as an indictment of the show or Jimmy is just a lie."
What may have happened "professionally" remains uncertain. What is, however, abundantly clear is that Rebecca Drysdale is moving on. What's next up for the Emmy-nominated comedian? Deadline reports that Netflix is developing her script, Dan Pan, and that Adam Sandler is "attached" to it. According to IMDb, Drysdale also wrote and acted in an upcoming short film, Gum, where she stars alongside Suzi Barrett. The premise? "In a reality where gum doesn't exist, Anne (Suzi Barrett) pitches Becky (Rebecca Drysdale) an idea that could change the world."
