Dan Aykroyd was one of many SNL legends conspicuously absent from the present’s fiftieth anniversary celebration earlier this yr. In a brand new interview with Leisure Weekly, the OG forged member provided a refreshingly sensible purpose for his absence: he simply wished to look at the present at house on TV.
“I wished to be at house and I wished to look at the present [from] starting to finish,” Aykroyd defined. “I knew if I used to be there, I’d be in a dressing room, I’d be working.”
“I wished to see it dwell,” he added. “I’m a fan of the present right now, and I watch it on a regular basis. I really like these new gamers; I believe they’re simply nice. I simply wished to see and dwell nostalgically with my household in my own residence, consuming my very own popcorn.”
