While sitting down with Gold Derby, the SNL star addressed rumors that he would not be back next season.
“It’s a big cast; there’s a lot of new guys in there, and there’s a lot of great new talent that it’s their time to shine.
It was a very crazy, long period of time and I wasn’t ready for the season to end yet because I was really having so much fun…The last show was a full audience for the first time and just hearing that full laugh was so emotional.
“The most where everybody was just like let’s put on a show and have fun and write some weird, silly s— because everybody’s so stressed out.
The recurring character, known for his laconic one-word responses to emotional circumstances, traveled to space with Elon Musk in the controversial episode.
“It’s fun for me because I don’t have to memorize any lines or do any work at all, and I get to watch these multi-millionaires put on Oscar-worthy performances and they just get an ‘Ok’ back.
“I don’t think you could have a better trajectory – you start with Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a pool boy and he ends on Mars with Elon Musk.
