Why did you decide to leave “Saturday Night Live”?
If it weren’t for COVID, I probably would have left a few years earlier. But it was such a huge change. When COVID hit, it was so jarring that we were all like, “I’m definitely going to come back next year.” And then I had to shoot “Shrill” for half of last season, and so I missed a lot. And then it was like, “Well, now I should go back one more.” I kept trying to seek one last normal year. This year wasn’t the normal year that I hoped for, but it was closer to that. It was like, “OK, it’s really time now.” And 10 felt like a nice, solid round number.
