Horrified SNL star reveals he was sent an 'envelope full of BULLETS' during his time on the show
Saturday Night Live alum Bobby Moynihan has revealed that he was once sent 'an envelope full of bullets' while working at the iconic show.
The comedian, 48, recently appeared on the Syd & Olivia Talk Sh*t podcast where he described the weird ways fans had reached out during his time on the show.
'I got an envelope full of bullets once at work - just like an envelope with a drawing of one of my characters holding a machine gun and the envelope had bullets in it,' a horrified Moynihan said.
He continued: 'It was Riblet and there was like an amazing anime drawing of Riblet firing a machine gun.
'And then it had bullets in it and it was instantly taken from my hands.'
Riblet was one of the comedian's recurring characters on Weekend Update, who was a crass high school friend of Michael Che.
But bullets weren't the only strange fan mail he has ever received.
Moynihan explained he also had to delete the Facebook app from his phone after receiving a slew of strange messages from fans.
'I just stopped looking at it,' he joked, adding he has not checked back in '20 years' - and there is a good reason why.
The comedian explained that he was inundated with requests from fans for pictures of other cast members' feet.
'It was always like, "hey love you on SNL, tell Keenan he's awesome and if you can take a picture of blank's feet,"' he laughed.
'And I was like "What?"' he recalled.
'People keep asking me to take pictures of people or a couple times... to take pictures of their feet,' he mused, adding: 'It was always something about their feet.'
The comedian added it was always female cast members that strangers requested feet pictures from.
'I have Fred Flintstone feet. I just got big old feet,' he joked in response to not receiving any requests for him personally.
The NCIS: Origins actor said that while it didn't happen often, it happened 'enough times' that he said he decided he was 'done with Facebook.'
Moynihan said he thinks fans felt comfortable asking him for strange requests because he is 'too nice,' telling the hosts: 'I think I'm a people pleaser.'
Moynihan left SNL after nine seasons in 2017. He was known for portraying the likes of Chris Christie, Guy Fieri, Snooki, Weekend Update staple Drunk Uncle and Riblet.
Riblet did not make an appearance during the 50th anniversary, but his iconic Drunk Uncle character made an appearance on the Weekend Update desk during the anniversary special.
In March, it was announced the SNL alum will appear as a series regular opposite Tracy Morgan in an untitled comedy pilot from Tina Fey, Robert Carlock and Sam Means.
