McCary and Kyle Mooney have been friends since the sixth grade. The duo co-founded the comedy troupe Good Neighbor with fellow SNL cast member Beck Bennett and Nick Rutherford.

McCary, Mooney, 35, and Bennett joined SNL for its 39th season in 2013, on which McCary works as a segment director.

McCary also shows off his bromance with Mooney on his Instagram by frequently sharing hilarious moments of the SNL star.

In 2017, McCary directed Brigsby Bear, which stars Mooney and premiered at Sundance Film Festival in January of that year. The film was McCary’s feature directorial debut.

Stone attended the premiere and the pair were spotted as part of a group that left the Los Angeles event together.

He doesn’t care about fame.

“He’s never wanted to be famous himself, he’s wanted to showcase his funny friends and make work that lets him hang out with them,” a source told PEOPLE in 2017.

“Even in party situations he’s low-key and doesn’t crave attention and is okay bouncing and doing something more chill.”
