Dan Aykroyd was one of many SNL legends conspicuously absent from the present’s 50th anniversary celebration earlier this yr. In a brand new interview with Entertainment Weekly, the OG solid member supplied a refreshingly sensible purpose for his absence: he simply wished to look at the present at residence on TV.
“I wished to be at residence 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 stay,” he added. “I’m a fan of the present as we speak, 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 stay nostalgically with my household in my own residence, consuming my very own popcorn.”
