Andy Samberg on 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' Sixth Season Revival at NBC: 'It Feels Like Home'
Andy Samberg is opening up about returning to NBC with the sixth season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine after being canceled by 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,” the 39-year-old actor told Variety at Brooklyn Nine-Nine‘s For Your Consideration event on Wednesday (June 13) at UCB Sunset Theater in Los Angeles.
Andy was joined at the event by his co-stars Joe Lo Truglio, Terry Crews, Dirk Blocker and Joel McKinnon Miller.
“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’,” Andy continued. “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 canceled, 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.”
