Andy Samberg recently opened up about his decision to leave "Saturday Night Live" after seven years on the show. He cited the grueling work schedule as the main reason for his departure, admitting that the constant lack of sleep was taking a toll on his physical and mental health. After his collaborators Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone also left, Samberg took on more responsibilities, particularly with the viral Lonely Island short films. Despite being asked to extend his contract, Samberg ultimately decided to leave in order to prioritize his well-being. He sought advice from former "SNL" cast members before making his decision. Now, he co-hosts a podcast with Schaffer, Taccone, and fellow alum Seth Meyers. Samberg's candid revelations shed light on the challenges of balancing creativity and self-care in the high-pressure environment of a live sketch comedy show.
