Samberg said on Kevin Hart's interview series Hart to Hart that seven years was enough, especially without his Lonely Island colleagues Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone. "Physically, it was taking a heavy toll on me and I got to a place where I was like I hadn't slept in seven years basically," Samberg explained, per EW. "We were writing stuff for the live show Tuesday night all night, the table read Wednesday, then being told now come up with a digital short so write all Thursday (and) Thursday night, don't sleep, get up, shoot Friday, edit all night Friday night and into Saturday, so it's basically like four days a week you're not sleeping, for seven years. So I just kinda fell apart physically." ALSO: Samberg on Kenan Thompson: "How is this fool still killing it so hard?"
