MANHATTAN — "Saturday Night Live" could reportedly be losing some of its top talent.

Some of the show’s most beloved and longest-tenured cast members — Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg and Jason Sudeikis — are planning to leave the sketch-comedy staple at the end of this season, Us Weekly reported.

The three stars have burgeoning careers outside the show, with Wiig earning acclaim and an Oscar nomination for her work on last year’s comedy hit "Bridesmaids," and Sudeikis and Samberg both taking star turns in upcoming films.

A spokeswoman for Wiig and Sudeikis told the Daily News that "there is no truth to this rumor" and that the actors are "dedicated to 'SNL'" and show creator Lorne Michaels.

A spokesperson for "Saturday Night Live" neither confirmed nor denied the rumor.

"No decisions have been made and won’t be until the end of the summer," the spokesperson said.
