Andy Samberg recently opened up about his decision to leave Saturday Night Live (SNL) and the toll it took on him. Samberg, along with his Lonely Island bandmates, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer, joined SNL in 2005 and gained popularity for their viral digital shorts.
In a recent interview on Kevin Hart's show, Samberg shared that SNL had been a lifelong dream for him. However, after five years of creating digital shorts, his bandmates left the show, leaving him in charge of the production. Samberg expressed that the collaborative dynamic with Taccone and Schaffer was essential to their creative process.
