MacKinnon added through tears, “That’s refreshing. It only happened two months ago.”

The sketch often led McKinnon and her co-stars to break the character (most famously Ryan Gosling during this time). One copy of the drawing the one in which McKinnon pinched his butt).

“I was ashamed, because we’re not supposed to do that, and there’s something unprofessional about it,” McKinnon said of the character wrecking during SNL sketches. But sometimes it was so much fun. There was a hint, I think, to wanting the audience to know like, ‘Oh, man, I love this.’ You have no idea how much I love Eddie Bryant and how much I love this job and how much I love these jokes. So sometimes I would allow myself to go there.”

More tears flowed as McKinnon said, “The most important moments were the moments when, like Friday night at rehearsal, I decided to stop and look at the people I loved so much and just remember them. Nothing special—we were all sitting around, Mikey [Day] He was doing a bit or Alex [Moffat] He was performing quite a bit, and we were catching up with the crew and looking around. These are the moments that meant the most.”

The story continues

McKinnon added that she knows she will miss ‘SNL’ forever, ‘especially the people – just the greatest people, and an absolute family of people. But I’m also excited to join new families and explore other parts of myself. I mean, I guess as you can tell from listening to these Interview, I feel sad too. I feel happy and sad, maybe I’ll see if I can do something with that. I don’t know.”
