Staying at “Saturday Night Live” just to be Mitt Romney is not enough for Jason Sudeikis
August 8, 2012 Matt Jason Sudeikis, News, Saturday Night Live, Television
Jason Sudeikis is out and about making the rounds for his new movie, The Campaign and in an interview he gave with the LA Times, it’s looking like he’s getting the bug to change his current job situation. While not flat-out stating he’s departing Saturday Night Live he made it pretty obvious that he’s looking for a change of title to mix things up with what he’s been doing for the last 9 years.
A chance to ride the zeitgeist, however, doesn’t seem to be enough of an enticement for the 36-year-old actor to stick around. Sudeikis said he wants to take on more responsibility at “SNL” but maintain the flexibility to pursue other projects, a tricky balance to strike on a notoriously demanding live weekly show.
“I’d like the opportunity to use creative muscles that… haven’t been asked of me for the first nine years that I’ve worked there,” Sudeikis said in a recent reflective interview at a Sunset Strip hotel. “It could be some sort of title change. The least of the concerns is anything financial. I’m not buying a boat because of writing skits. It’s more having a desire to give more to a place I really believe in. To stay just for the juice of being in the public eye — of being Mitt Romney — is not enough.”
