Ultimately, it was the grueling schedule at SNL that got Andy to leave. He said, "Physically, it was taking a heavy toll on me, and I got to a place where I hadn't slept in seven years, basically. 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, all 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.”
