Andy Samberg admitted to Kevin Hart on the 'Hart to Heart' talk show he left 'Saturday Night Live' because of the grueling schedule and the departure of his writing partners.
Andy Samberg is opening up about the whirlwind that was working on 'Saturday Night Live.' During a recent sit down with comedian Kevin Hart on his Peacock talk show, 'Hart to Heart,' Samberg explained why he chose to leave the popular sketch comedy show in 2012. 'It was a big choice. For me, it was like, I can't actually endure it anymore. But I didn't want to leave,' the 'SNL' alum said.
Together, the trio wrote many pre-taped musical sketches as part of the fake music group, The Lonely Island, including 'Lazy Sunday,' 'I'm on a Boat' and the Emmy-winning 'D--- in a Box.' He went on to tell Hart that when Schaffer and Taccone left the show in 2010 to focus on making films, things became difficult. 'I was basically left in charge of making the shorts, which I never pretended like I could do without them,' Samberg said.
On the one hand, I was like, I feel like eight years for a half hour comedy is a good run. On the other hand, I loved everyone I worked with, and I still felt like all the way to the last episode we were still making something that I enjoyed and was excited for people to see and was making us laugh,' he told SiriusXM Stars in January 2022 about the show coming to an end. He continued, 'Saying goodbye was the hardest part by far.
