“Saturday Night Live” boss Lorne Michaels was a bit tied up when Chloe Fineman called to say she was leaving the show.

“In classic form, he was watching England vs. Argentina,” Fineman told Variety at Monday night’s premiere of Apple TV’s “The Dink” in Los Angeles. “He was like, ‘I’ll call you back. I’m a the game.’ And I was like, ‘The soccer game?’ Then I made a joke, I was like, ‘I assume you’re rooting for England because you’re energetically very British.’ Then he called me back, and we had a really lovely chat.”
