His unique style followed him to SNL and offered him a distinct opportunity to become especially endeared to some of SNL’s most devoted viewers.

Though fans joke that Mooney’s sketches were often “cut for time”, his most iconic moments will ensure that he remains a beloved SNL veteran.

For now, fans can keep Mooney in their comedy-diet by streaming his nostalgic and zany Netflix show, Saturday Morning All Star Hits.

Though the sketch ends with Colin Jost being repeated punched in the face, the heartwarming takeaway is the real-life adoration and friendship of Mooney and Bennett
