Tina Fey reportedly has a shot at taking over “Saturday Night Live” for Lorne Michaels.
According to a source, per The New York Post, the actress and comedian is being considered to take Michaels’ current position as executive producer when the “SNL” creator, 78, eventually departs.
Though Michaels, who created the popular weekly comedy series back in 1975, hasn’t formally announced a departure, he previously spoke about leaving the show after “its 50th anniversary, which is in three years,” he told Gayle King on “CBS Mornings” in December 2021. “I’d like to see that through and I have a feeling that would be a really good time to leave.”

“SNL”‘s 50th season will premiere in the fall of 2024, also marking Michaels’ 80th birthday on November 17 that same year.

While another NBC insider said there’s no truth to the growing rumour, other fellow showrunners believe Fey, 53, could easily snag the job if she wants it, noting that her frequent collaborator Robert Carlock — whom she’s worked with on several projects, including “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”, “Girls5eva”, “Mr. Mayor” and “30 Rock” — would likely follow her to “SNL”.
