Hernández, who has been on the SNL since 2022, was asked by The Hollywood Reporter at the 2026 Critics’ Choice Awards on Sunday what it was like seeing the Wicked actor leave. “He’s a guy that I’ve seen work so hard and he put up numbers,” he said. “You know, if this was a team, he’d be one of those guys that had a great career, and I’m excited to see what he does next.
