Andy Samberg released a couple of statements directed to ousted cast members of Saturday Night Live, suggesting that there is indeed life after the long-running comedy show.

Being a mainstay of Saturday Night Live from 2005 to 2012 has taught comedian Andy Samberg many things about the business, and this includes a better understanding of his career post-SNL. While talking to a panel at the recently-concluded TCA summer press tour, Samberg sent out a message to actors fired from the highly-rated live audience comedy show, especially those who have only been in the show for a year.

"If you were hired... there's something good going on with you," said Samberg during the panel, commending the talents of everyone who has made it to the show, regardless of the time they spent as mainstays.

"So whether or not the timings right doesn't mean you're not gonna go on to great things," added the actor. After SNL, Samberg went on to star as the lead of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, a show that has gained multiple awards and nominations. The 35-year-old actor even bagged a Golden Globe for his portrayal of a comedic cop in the show.

Samberg added that being on SNL is a tough job, even commenting that the demanding schedule of being a mainstay is "notoriously bad for relationships." Recently, Samberg returned on the sets of SNL as a host, and compared his experience when he was still in the billing.

"When I order a coffee it comes sooner because I don't have to wait for 30 other people's coffees. Other than that it's almost exactly the same," jokingly said the actor in the same panel interview, as reported by Ace Showbiz.
