Kate McKinnon revealed why she left Saturday Night Live
Kate McKinnon recently sat down with Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest for an episode of Live With Kelly and Ryan on ET.
During the interview, the actress shared the real reason behind leaving Saturday Night Live after being on the show for almost a decade.
She said that her decision to leave the show was not an easy one.
McKinnon mentioned during the interview: “I thought about it for a long time and it was very, very difficult.”
He further added, “All I ever wanted to do in my entire life was be on ‘Saturday Night Live.'” So, I did it, I loved it, I had the best decade, and then I thought my body was tired and I felt like it was time.
Additionally, McKinnon also revealed that he still won’t be watching Saturday Night Live even though his future in the industry remains uncertain.
She said, ‘I don’t know what I’m going to do. I don’t know if I can watch the show yet because it’s too emo because I miss everyone so much.
The 38-year-old comedian has developed friendships with her cast members, so she’s not sure about watching the show for the emotions it can bring.
She continued: ‘It’s my family. It’s too emotional. So, I think I’m just going to grab ‘The Bachelorette’ and watch it.”
