As another year of my life passes by, I am reminded of all the wonderful people I've had the pleasure of working with. And I know for a fact that they have all enjoyed working with me too. Here's Amy Poehler and I just hanging out having a laugh.

Here is my best friend @TheRealDratch and I at the Douglas House shooting a lower back tattoo commercial for @nbcsnl . She loved working with me!

Boy oh boy, did @kenanthompson and I have fun shooting a Chicago Bears skit for @nbcsnl ! We always just laughed and laughed.

When Kristen Wiig joined the cast, we hit it off immediately! #bestfriends

I also made life long friends at @30Rock Here I am just chilling with my best friend Jack McBrayer.

I worked with @AlecBaldwln____ for 7 years on @30Rock Here we are laughing it up at an @nbcsnl after party!

We had some amazing hosts at @nbcsnl during my time. Here is @Sethrogen and I in my office. I had just pitched him the silliest idea for a skit! He loved it!

I was so lucky to be there with @BettyMWhite hosted @nbcsnl . And as you can see, she felt super lucky to have me writing for her.

Even though my skit was cut from @nbcsnl after the table read, I still became best buds with Will Ferrell.

When Paul Giamatti hosted, he loved all my skit ideas. Even though my "Baker who is allergic to bread-skit" got cut, you can tell he still loved working with me.

We did a show during the writers strike at the UCB Theatre and Michael Cera hosted it. Even though he wasn't in any of my skits that night, we did hang out back stage.

He wasn't Jack Ryan back when I hung out with @johnkrasinski at the @nbcsnl after parties! So many laughs. So much fun. @suedgalloway was also hanging out with us in this pic.

Have you ever seen two Lutzes have this much fun working together on @30Rock ? I sure haven't. @kellanlutz

I knew Jason Sudeikis in Chicago waaaay before either of us worked at @nbcsnl . Our friendship only got better and better. Fun times.

If there was one lady I made laugh more than anyone else at @nbcsnl , it was @MayaRudolph . I think I just made a killer pun right before this photo. Probably because The Killers were the musical guest that week. Ha!

Just so everyone knows, it's not my birthday today. It's actually tomorrow, the 23rd. This just happens to be the last day of my 47th year on this planet. It is however my lovely wife's birthday! @suedgalloway I love her so much and I'm sure you can see why.

I also got to hang with some of the cast of @MadMen_AMC . Jon Hamm laughed every time I said I preferred the actor named Jon Bologna.

And @richsommer always laughed when I said I preferred the actor named Poor Winter! Ha-ha!

If there was one person I could consistently crack up at @nbcsnl , it was Bill Hader. I would write skit after skit for him. And even though none of them ever got on the show, they still killed at the table read.

I met @MrHoratioSanz at @TheSecondCity and man did we hit it off. I would sit in on some of his improvs and would always make him cry with laughter with my top notch object work. #yesand

The first season I was a writer for @nbcsnl I would constantly see @Finessemitchell in the halls and we would just laugh and laugh. #2004forlife

It really is amazing how many great friends I have made! I even went on vacations with some of them. @RobRiggle and I took a train ride up to @Harvard . The trip is kind of long, but we didn't even notice because of how much fun we were having.

Tina Fey happened to also be on that same train and lucky for her the aisle next to her seat was open!

I also became friends with form cast members of @nbcsnl Here I am out to dinner with Tim Meadows. The lighting for this pic was perfect!

I feel bad about the picture I tweeted of @suedgalloway looking goofy earlier in this thread, so here is a better picture that pretty much sums up our relationship.

Besides all the famous acting friends I made, I also became close friends with a lot of the @nbcsnl writers. Here I am with @perlapell back in 2010. She has changed one bit since then.

I also became friends with some of the guests we had on @nbcsnl . Here I am with Dr. Zaius when I cast him in one of my silly skits. He crushed it, but I have to say it was hard to mess up with such amazing writing. @MikeOBrienXOXO

I really lucked out with the cast my first couple of seasons at @nbcsnl . I would hang out with Fred Armisen all the time. And no matter what he was doing, he'd drop everything when I came in the room.

And Chris Parnell and I would throw jokes around like nobody's business. The business of comedy that is.

And @DarrellCHammond would always get a kick out of my takes on the impressions he did.

One person I couldn't ever get a read on though was @sethmeyers . Never could make the guy laugh. Oh well.

But without a doubt, the one person in all my time at @nbcsnl or @30Rock or @LateNightSeth who really stands out as my closest friend is the man, the legend, Lorne Michaels. He once told me of all the people he's ever worked with, I made him laugh the most. #Blessed

My best friend @GabbySidibe just reminded me of the time we partied all night long. We danced the night away!!!! I’m such a lucky guy.
