Richards left SNL mid-season in the winter of 2004 (his last episode was the one hosted by Jessica Simpson and her then-husband, Nick Lachey). To this day, it's not known whether Jeff quit because of creative differences with Beth [=McCarthy=]-Miller (''SNL'''s director at the time) or if Jeff just wanted to branch out and do other projects.
