Spivey's exit comes a month after showrunner Tucker Crawley was replaced by Nurse Jackie's Linda Wallem as NBC and studio Universal Television opted to make some creative changes to the struggling Christina Applegate-Will Arnett-Maya Rudolph series at its midseason point.
Crawley, for his part, replaced original showrunner Jon Pollack. The former departed in December to work as a consulting producer on Fox's The Mindy Project.

The modestly rated Up All Night will resume production in February with three additional episodes tacked on to its initial order of 16 after taking a three-month hiatus to transition the Lorne Michaels-produced series to multicamera, including building new soundstages to prepare the series to be filmed in front of a live studio audience.
The series will return to NBC in April or May. The creative change marks the second for the comedy this year after the Rudolph's talk-show format was ditched in the season two premiere earlier this fall.
