Horrified SNL star reveals he was sent an 'envelope full of BULLETS' during his time on the 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.

Brooklyn Beckham ‘could cause heartbreak' for little sister Harper as feud casts shadow over her birthday celebrations
BROOKLYN Beckham "could cause heartbreak" for his little sister Harper as a feud casts shadow over her birthday celebrations. The son of David and Victoria Beckham has hit the headlines recently after a distancing from his family. 5 5 Rumours about a feud with the Beckham clan and Nicola Peltz, 30, have circulated since her £3million wedding to Brooklyn, 26, in Florida. Since then, the alleged clash has intensified as Brooklyn snubbed all four parties that were thrown for his ex-footballer dad David to celebrate his birthday. Then more recently, Brooklyn sparked further conversation as he celebrated Nicola's dad birthday despite missing his own dad's birthday bash. It comes as Brooklyn was backed by his godfather Sir Elton John and his husband David Furnish, after he posted a photo with wife Nicola last week. Elton wrote: 'Happy Anniversary to the sweetest, most loving couple,' followed by love hearts" His husband David added his own comment, which read: 'Happy Anniversary to the gorgeous couple.' Elton is the godfather of the Beckhams ' eldest son Brooklyn, and they're very close, regularly going on trips abroad together over the years. Both Victoria and David Beckham failed to comment on or like their son's anniversary post. According to The Mail, his family - which include Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, - refer to the aspiring chef as 'The Hostage'. It's also been reported that the former amateur photographer failed to even congratulate his dad after news emerged of his knighthood. Brooklyn Beckham's family rift deepens as he turns back on UK by splashing out £11m on LA mansion with wife Nicola Peltz It was recently revealed that the situation has become so severe that Brooklyn is no longer on speaking terms with his siblings. Now Harper, the youngest of David and Victoria's children, turns 14 on Thursday and Brooklyn is expected to be missing from the Beckhams' festivities once again reports The Mirror. A source said that while the family fallout is mainly between Brooklyn and his parents, his younger siblings – including birthday girl Harper – have sadly become collateral damage. 'Harper's been particularly affected by what's going on because she's always been really close to Brooklyn,' claimed the source. 'They've always had a lovely bond because Brooklyn was that bit older when Harper was born and the hope when Brooklyn married Nicola was that she'd become like a big sister to Harper in a house full of brothers. "But obviously that hasn't happened and it's potentially going to be heart breaking for Harper if Brooklyn doesn't show up for her on her birthday.' It has been said that Victoria would like nothing more than for Brooklyn to show up to celebrate with them all, but it's not looking likely at all. The source added: "He took a stand and missed his dad's 50th so he's not likely to suddenly do a U-turn and forget everything that's happened, as much as he loves Harper." However, if he did turn up, it could be an end to the family drama and the best birthday present Harper could ask for. But Brooklyn's allegiance appears to have perhaps shifted away from his family. "He didn't want it to turn out this way and he's always been really close to all his siblings, but he is a married man now and his priorities have to lie somewhere else," the source disclosed. 5 5

Jimmy Carr called estranged father after 25-year feud to ‘ask for a favour before cutting him off again' pal claims
JIMMY Carr allegedly called his father amid their longstanding feud to ask for a "favour" - before snubbing his old man when it was granted, it has been claimed. The comedian's bad blood with Jim Carr Snr, 80, has been widely reported, with Jimmy, 52, previously suggesting his dad was "dead to me" after their lengthy spat reached its peak. 6 6 6 In 2022, we also reported how Jimmy was being sued by his father for defamation. At the time, it was claimed Jim Carr Snr was "sick and tired" of the "false characterisation" the 8 Out Of 10 Cats host presents of his dad. Now a pal of Jimmy's parent has claimed has claimed Jim Carr Snr was left "confused and distraught" after Jimmy allegedly reached out for help - then cut contact again. A source told MailOnline how Jimmy is said to have asked his dad to "take on a burden." The source said: "It was just before Christmas in 2017 and Jimmy rang his dad to ask him for some help with a problem he had. "He had been supporting someone close to him but just couldn't continue doing so. "Jim has never told me the full details preferring to keep it private but it was a big favour to ask and obviously Jimmy felt he had nowhere else to turn, given that he hadn't spoken to his dad for that last 15 or 16-years prior to that phone call. "He wanted Jim to take on the burden – which he duly did. "But while Jim hoped this good deed could rekindle their relationship, Jimmy seemed to cut him off again. "He didn't call to thank him or anything, it was radio silence… which continues to this day." Jimmy Carr takes swipe at Peter Kay as he breaks silence on kicking hecklers out of stand-up show The Sun has gone to Jimmy's rep for comment. BUST UP In one of the most bitter celebrity bust-ups, tensions are said to have escalated between Jimmy and Jim after the publication of the funnyman's memoir, Before and Laughter. Jim was said to be "sick and tired" of "false characterisation" by the 8 Out Of 10 Cats host. At the time source told MirrorOnline Jim had taken legal action and said: "The last thing Jim wanted to do was take his own son to court, but enough is enough. "He's sick and tired of this false characterisation of himself that is being presented. "Jimmy's snide comments about his dad have been going on for years. "The straw that broke the camel's back was this new book and some of the things he has been saying on podcasts." Jimmy previously told how he cut contact with his dad following the death of his mother Nora in 2001. He told a podcast: "I haven't seen my dad in 21 years and you know the line, 'My mother's dead and my father's dead to me' – which sounds very cold, until you meet the guy." 6 6
