Jim Gaffigan Has No Regrets About No Longer Playing Tim Walz On 'SNL'

“It was such a cool thing, so I don’t necessarily feel bad,” the comedian said about no longer playing the Minnesota governor on the show.

All good things must come to an end.

That’s how comedian Jim Gaffigan feels about his gig playing Minnesota governor and Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz on “Saturday Night Live.”

Alongside Maya Rudolph’s Kamala Harris, Gaffigan played Walz on the show for the first five episodes leading up to this year’s election, but he told The Hollywood Reporter that it was never intended to become a full-time gig.

“It wasn’t the expectation that Maya [Rudolph] and I were gonna continue on the entire time,” Gaffigan said.

Although doing the show required him to cancel some concert dates, he was happy to do so, speaking favorably of the opportunity to be on “SNL” and portray Walz.
