I left 'Saturday Night Live' without a film to go to, and I'd filmed 'Old School' while I was in my last season of the show, and that hadn't come out yet. I was a free agent, in a way, but I knew it was time to leave the show and test the water.

I definitely wanted to leave "Saturday Night Live" at a time when I still enjoyed doing the show. I didn't have a supreme confidence that I would be immediately successful after leaving the show, but I just knew it was the right time to test myself and get out there and try other things.

'Saturday Night Live' is live television. Nothing can compare to that.

Normally, 'Saturday Night Live' is about as entertaining as an ocular migraine.

'Saturday Night Live' was the joy of my life.

Let me tell you why I suck as a sellman....
