Andy Samberg decided to leave ‘Saturday Night Live’ in 2012 when he realized his life was ‘falling apart’ physically and mentally
“For me, it was, like, I can’t actually endure it anymore,” Samberg, 45, said during the Thursday, July 11, episode of Kevin Hart’s “Heart to Hart” show on Peacock. “Physically and emotionally. I was falling apart in my life.”
Samberg was cast on SNL in 2005, often performing in musical sketches with fellow members of the Lonely Island — Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer — including viral performances of “I’m on a Boat” and “I Just Had Sex.” After seven years, Samberg opted to leave the sketch comedy show. While Samberg has moved on from SNL, he is still grateful for the experience and for fostering lifelong friendships. Samberg, Taccone, 47, and Schaffer, 46, have known each other since childhood and still professionally collaborate.
