Andy Samberg has shared his excitement about Brooklyn Nine-Nine being picked up by NBC after the show’s cancellation on Fox.
“I would’ve been happy almost anywhere because I love this show so much and I wanted to keep doing it, but for me personally having already spent time working at NBC, I really enjoyed that experience,” Samberg told Variety.
Sandberg worked on NBC’s Saturday Night Live for eight whole seasons, so switching to the network was not unfamiliar territory. He continued to explain that NBC feels like home to him:
“Literally when we flew out to New York for Upfronts, I was welcomed back to New York by all of the security guards at 30 Rock. They were like ‘Hey! Welcome back!’ and gave me big hugs and I was like ‘Oh, this feels like home in a way.’ It made a lot easier especially considering on that Friday we were talking about potentially flying to New York to go to the Fox Upfront, and then cancelled, and then I was crushed. If it had been somewhere else it would’ve been even more surreal because we wouldn’t have known anyone and it would’ve been just kind of thrown into this new thing.”
Season six of Brooklyn Nine-Nine will arrive on NBC early 2019.
