There will be Nasser al Qasabi no more on Arabs Got Talent, after the celebrity judge announced his shock exit from the reality TV talent show this week.

AGT is in its fifth season and Nasser sat on its judging panel for all four seaons, alongside Najwa Karam, Ali Jaber and Ahmed Helmy. 

The Saudi comedian's fans were utterly shocked and upset to learn about him quitting, but he explained that "scheduling problems" were the reason behind his decision. 

In a tweet confirming the news, Nasser said, "I miss my favorite trio; I had to leave AGT because of the new TV drama I'm filming, 'Al Asoof.' I'm going to miss you so much."

He then humorously added, "Beautiful Najwa, Wicked Ali, Beloved Ahmed, I love you very much and I will miss you very much. Here's to a successful new season."

Fans first suspected that Nasser might be leaving the show after Ali posted behind-the-scenes photos with only him, Najwa and Ahmed sitting on the judges table.
