Bobby Moynihan reveals he ‘stole so many props’ from ‘SNL’

Don’t tell Lorne Michaels.

Saturday Night Live alum Bobby Moynihan has revealed his kleptomaniac tendencies from the set of the sketch comedy series.

The comedian, who was a cast member of the show from 2008 to 2017, spilled on what exactly he’s taken during a recent podcast appearance on Thanks Dad with Ego Nwodim. The two were talking about savings when Moynihan admitted he likes to “collect things.”

“I stole so many props from SNL, it’s stupid,” he said, to which Nwodim joked, “Someone jail this man!”

“Oh yes, easily. The 40th anniversary [episode of SNL] was me walking around stealing things whenever Dana Carvey would put them down,” he said. “I have his drumsticks from Wayne and Garth literally somewhere within reach.”

He’s referring, of course, to when Carvey and Mike Myers reprised their classic SNL characters in a “Wayne’s World” sketch during the special. During it, Wayne (Myers) and Garth (Carvey) list their “Top 10 Things About SNL.”

Back on the podcast, Nwodim then asked Moynihan if he feels like he’s “properly exhaled” from leaving SNL in 2017. He told her that the forthcoming 50th anniversary of the show has stirred up a lot of feelings for him.

“I can say this honestly now in the moment because I’m a little more present than usual, which is, it was starting to happen, I was starting to calm down, and then the 50th [anniversary of SNL happened],” Moynihan explained. “It’s been like the 50th has kicked up so much stuff. When the 50th is over, I feel like the real healing begins then… I just can’t wait to go watch, and be proud, and then go home.”

Nwodim, who first joined the show in 2018, agreed, adding she thinks it “will be fun” and “very special.”

They’re, of course, referring to SNL50: The Anniversary Special, a three-hour live prime-time special celebrating a half-century of Saturday Night Live. Details are scarce, but if it’s anything like the show’s aforementioned 40th anniversary special in 2015, expect exciting cast reunions, revived fan-favorite characters and sketches, tributes to those no longer with us, and more.

SNL50: The Anniversary Special airs live on Sunday, Feb. 16, from 8-11 p.m. ET/5-8 p.m. PT on NBC and Peacock.
