According to Will, Lorne has a Top 3 – and although he didn’t say who’s in it, he did say that Will is among them.
He said to WSJ. Magazine that he knew while his seventh season on the show was approaching that it was “a good time to go.”
“You sit down with Lorne Michaels at your last show, and he says—which is one of my favorite Lorne comments, because it’s an absolutely amazing compliment and at the same time there’s still some instability to it—‘I have to say, I have to put you in the top three of anyone ever having done the show. Where in that top three—I can’t tell you,” he recalled.
“I was like, ‘Thanks. Wow, that’s great…. Oh, I guess. Am I third?’ Look, I have some talent. I knew there’d be people funnier than me, and I’d probably be funnier than other people. But I [also] knew no one would commit more than me. That’s the one thing I could control.”
