Initially, some comments made by Lorne Michaels had sparked speculation among fans that he might leave the show after Season 50. However, the creator of SNL himself has clarified these rumors, stating that he doesn’t currently have plans to step down. He expressed, “I may be mistaken, but I don’t feel like I’m finished.” This recent statement has effectively laid many rumors to rest.
Personally, I’m thrilled to share that Michael has confirmed his return for Season 51 of our favorite show, at least! During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he expressed his intention to stay as long as he can be valuable. He didn’t mention any specific plans yet, but the new season is expected to premiere this fall. As of now, the details about the cast and the exact release date are still under wraps.
In a chat with the New York Times, when asked about the potential ending of Saturday Night Live with his departure, Michael expressed that he’s not the one to make such decisions. This statement suggests that Michael remains dedicated to SNL and intends to ensure its longevity and consistency as it moves forward beyond his tenure.
Michael described the ongoing season as “powerfully emotional”. Highlighting the significance of the show’s milestone, Michael stated, “The 50th anniversary promises to be a major occasion. We plan on reuniting everyone from the past 50 years, along with hosts and all other participants. It will be a deeply moving and powerful event. There won’t be as many additional guests, I can assure you of that.” (via TV Insider)
