Cecily Strong confessed that it’s too painful for her to watch “Saturday Night Live” following her exit.
The comedian, 39, stopped by Andy Cohen’s “Watch What Happens Live” earlier this week where she admitted that it’s “hard for me to watch the show right now.”
Strong was part of the cast of the long-running NBC sketch series for 11 seasons and announced her departure in December 2022.
The Bravo host, 54, compared the comedy show to being an “ex-boyfriend,” and Strong couldn’t help but agree.
“It was just such a big part of my life and there’s so many people I love there, so I feel like I would just be in a swamp of sadness, just my heart would break,” she said.
“I’ve got to keep my distance,” Strong sighed.
Cohen then asked her if she would ever return to host the show in the near future.
“What did you think about Molly Shannon hosting ‘SNL’ last weekend and has there been any talks of you coming in and hosting as well?” the talk show emcee said about Shannon, 58, who was a cast member on “SNL” from 1995 to 2001 and guest-hosted the April 8 episode.
“There’s no talks of me hosting,” Strong replied.
However, she confirmed that she would be appearing in the series’ 50th anniversary in the foreseeable future.
“SNL” is currently almost through its 48th season.
In December 2022, Strong revealed she was leaving “SNL,” after being with the cast for 10 years.
“I am ready to go, but I’ll always know home is here,” she penned on social media at the time. “I’ve had the time of my life working with the greatest people on earth.”
Pete Davidson, Chris Redd, Kate McKinnon, Kyle Mooney, Aidy Bryant, Melissa Villaseñor and Alex Moffat also bid farewell to the show in 2022.
“Elvis” star Austin Butler hosted the Dec. 18 episode, which turned out to be Strong’s last. The actor and the rest of the cast gave Strong an emotional sendoff with a heartwarming tribute to her “SNL” career: The group serenaded her by belting out Elvis Presley’s hit “Blue Christmas.”
“I had a lot of fun here,” the “Schmigadoon!” actress said at the end of the episode. “And I feel really lucky that I have had so many of the best moments of my life in this place, and with these people that I love so much.”
