Kate McKinnon said goodbye to the late-night show after an impressive 10-year run on May 21, 2022

Kate McKinnon recently revealed on Live with Kelly and Ryan in July 2022 why she made the tough decision to close an exciting chapter in her career.

“I thought about it for a very long time, and it was very, very hard because all I ever wanted to do in my whole life was be on Saturday Night Live, and so I did,” McKinnon told Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest.

“I loved it. I had the best decade, and then I was just like, my body was tired, and I felt like it was time.”

“I don’t know that I can watch the show yet because it’s just too emo because I miss everyone so much,” she said. “I mean, it’s my family…It’s my other family, so it’s too emo.

It hasn’t been easy for McKinnon to let go, and she isn’t quite ready to incorporate SNL into her TV rotation just yet.
