Why did Khandi Alexander leave Newsradio? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

On one of the Newsradio episodes I saw I noticed that it was Khandi Alexander's last episode and the exit of the character Catherine Duke and I would like to know why Khandi left Newsradio? Was Khandi Alexander offered another sitcom at the time or was she really unhappy at Newsradio? I noticed at the end of the episode that it had a nice good luck message for Khandi

I think she was offered a role on CSI: Miami.

That would've been impossible since NewsRadio ended in 1999 while CSI: Miami wouldn't debut until the year 2002.

She's still working—and garnering awards attention. Alexander chose to leave NewsRadio in 1998, fearing being typecast for playing comedic roles. "I knew, in order to open up my career, I had to leave or that's all I would ever be given," she told Reuters in 2010.
