Meanwhile, Lorne mentioned in interviews during his CA Emmys trip that he is planning on staying with the show through the 50th anniversary special in January of 2025, but hinted he would retire soon after. He agreed to a suggestion that Tina Fey is one of several who has what it takes to replace him.
Fey does make sense in many ways, except…she old. Michaels was around 30 when he started SNL, and was in touch personally or culturally with much of the cutting edge in comedy and music. Fey is 53. Of course Lorne wants someone who will tend the flame and not reinvent the show. Still, I might be looking for someone like some Writer/Producer who worked with like Conan or TDS and is in their 30s. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/lorne-michaels-retiring-snl-just-153758117.html Sent from Gmail Mobile On Fri, 19 Jan 2024 at 10:23 PM Mark Jeffries <[email protected]> wrote: > Written and directed by Jason Reitman for Sony, "SNL 1975" tells the story > behind-the-scenes of the weeks before the NBC late-night institution began > its run--Gabriel LaBelle, who played the Spielberg stand-in in "The > Fabelmans," is playing Lorne, with Cooper Hoffman ("Licorice Pizza") as > Lorne's immediate NBC boss Dick Ebersol and Rachel Sennott ("The Idol," > "Bottoms") as Rosie Schuster, Lorne's wife and a writer on the show--the > question is, who's playing the Not Ready for Prime Time Players: > > > https://deadline.com/2024/01/the-fablemans-gabriel-labelle-lorne-michaels-snl-1975-cooper-hoffman-rachel-sennott-1235797505/ > > And of course Sikula and Marousek will hate it. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "TVorNotTV" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/tvornottv/90304ffa-d398-4c37-a8c5-8367d3c19592n%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/tvornottv/90304ffa-d398-4c37-a8c5-8367d3c19592n%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
