Andy Samberg Reflects On Stress Of Doing ‘SNL’ Live: “You’re Always At Risk”


'SNL' Season 50 guest player Andy Samberg said working on the show has reintroduced the stress of its production: 'You're always at risk.'

Called back to play Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff to Maya Rudolph’s Kamala Harris in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election, the Palm Springs star said his reprisal has been slightly more chill. When Michael Keaton served as host two weeks prior alongside musical guest Billie Eilish, Samberg was able to pull together a “dream come true” appearance in Beetlejuice cosplay with Mikey Day during the opening monologue. Earlier this year, the Emmy winner revealed he left SNL to safeguard his mental and physical health, which was being impacted by the show’s well-documented and intense filming and prep schedule.
