"I've grown up watching 'SNL,'" he said. "My family, we watched all those box sets of every single great performer that's been on the show. It was this wonderful thing that my dad, I think it premiered when he was in college, and it meant so much to him, and it meant so much to my mom, and my whole family. It was just something we all tuned in for, something we could share together."
