The show’s longtime executive producer said he plans to keep the reins for at least another year.
Lorne Michaels suggested “Saturday Night Live” alum Tina Fey could be his potential successor as executive producer of the long-running sketch comedy show, but he’s keeping options open.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at Monday’s Emmy Awards, the 79-year-old who created the show nearly 50 years ago was asked if he had thought about who could replace him when he eventually retired.
He said there would be a 50th anniversary show in February 2025, “So I will definitely be there for that ... and sometime before that, we’ll figure out what we’re going to do.”
Pressed on speculation that Fey could take the reins, Michaels said, “It could easily be Tina Fey,” but suggested that many others would also be well-suited to the role.
“But there are a lot of people who are there now who are also, you know,” he said.
