- Forte expressed pride but relief over the show's cancellation due to workload.
Will Forte, the creative force behind the popular sci-fi comedy "The Last Man on Earth," recently shared his thoughts on the series' conclusion. The show, which premiered in 2015, centered on Phil Miller, also known as Tandy, the seemingly last person on Earth following a devastating plague.

Forte has spoken about missing the show and the possibility of revisiting his character. However, he also admitted to feeling a sense of relief upon its cancellation. The actor cited the immense physical and mental toll the production workload took on him, suggesting that enduring another season might have led to a breakdown.
