"Christina Applegate has decided to leave comedy series Up All Night. The Anchorman actress explained that changes in the show&amp;#039;s direction are behind the departure, after NBC decided last year to change from a single-camera comedy to a multi-camera format with a live audience.    Deadline quotes the Anchorman actress as saying: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s been a great experience working on Up All Night, but the show has taken a different creative direction and I decided it was best for me to move on to other endeavours.  &amp;quot;Working with Lorne Michaels has been a dream come true and I am grateful he brought me into his TV family. I will miss the cast, producers and crew, and wish them the best always.&amp;quot;  Series creator/executive producer Emily Spivey also left the show in January. Deadline cites some sources as saying that NBC still wants to proceed with a third series in 2013, and may turn to former Friends actress Lisa Kudrow as a new lead, but other sources have claimed the show will not continue.
