Kristen Wiig, you are going to be missed big time.

How much?

We'll let her Saturday Night Live cohort Andy Samberg tell you. Plus, find out if he's ready to move on, too...

"It's going to be a huge loss," Samberg exclusively told us last night at the MTV Sneak Peek of his new movie, That's My Boy. "She's one of the best that's ever done it without a doubt. She's also one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met and she's a great friend."

Getting through Wiig's much-talked about farewell was tough. "It was real sad," Samberg said. "We all love her so much. That crew has been working together for a while now so it was definitely very emotional. But very sweet and also very bittersweet."

And, of course, we had to ask Samberg about his future on SNL. It was reported last month that he and Jason Sudeikis would also be leaving.

"Nothing's decided yet," Samberg said, adding it would "definitely be weird" not being on the show.

"I'm not sure I can imagine [not being a part of it] yet or not," Samberg said. "That was always my dream job so I feel really lucky to have worked there at all."
