This year felt different and I like feeling useful feels good.ĭEADLINE: You mentioned loving SNL growing up, which was your first cast that you loved? GARDNER: I get why that was and I feel grateful. I imagine it was a bit easier to do that when people left. I felt more creatively fulfilled, and as I love sports, I just felt like I got passed the ball a lot more.ĭEADLINE: It definitely felt like you, Ego and Bowen stepped up this year and became the seniors. ![]() I was also happy with my role on the show, I felt a lot more useful. I heard that enough that I thought no one is saying it’s kind of a weird year so I was happy about that. I don’t read anything but people would come up to me on the street and say, ‘Hey, you’re on SNL, this year feels really good, it feels really fresh and the energy is great’. People are going to call it a rebuilding year and we’ll probably be judged harshly because of it. I remember in the mid 90s when everyone was gone and Molly Shannon and Cheri Oteri came in, those years where everything feels different. GARDNER: I’ve been a fan of SNL my whole life. I was sad, but then the end of the season is always filled with the anxiety of dunking one more time and it was kind of nice not to go through that, just to kind of have this like, non-closure season where that’s all I get.ĭEADLINE: Lorne Michaels has called season 48 a “transition” year with so many people leaving last summer. ![]() I was like, ‘Oh, well I wonder if we’ll do at home shows’ and then I was suddenly like no Heidi this isn’t a pandemic, this isn’t affecting the rest of the world. I remember when I found out the last three shows weren’t happening. I think I had a little Covid PTSD because even though we had those at home shows, we lost about six shows. GARDNER: I was definitely bummed when it had happened.
