The funnyman, 40, clearly hasn't burned any bridges with his former co-stars: Forte will make a special guest appearance on Amy Poehler's Parks & Recreation later this fall.

    Good!!!! Its about time he is leaving. His comedy sucks. He is an Adam Sandler wanna be with his singing and skits, and totally sucks at it. I never liked him on the show, he was not funny!!! I hope they find someone a lot better to replace him.
