Seth Meyers thinks that rumors of 'Saturday Night Live' boss Lorne Michaels leaving the show are 'a false narrative.'
from 2001 to 2014, continued to speculate that Michaels' supposed plans to exit the series after its 50th anniversary in 2025 have little foundation. "I think it made sense for Lorne — who's, yeah, got a flair for the dramatic — to say, 'I think I’'l be done at 50,'" he explained. "It's not like Lorne's got something else he wants to do more than this."Michaels has repeatedly teased his potential retirement after the show turns 50.
In that same interview, Michaels told the outlet his successor"could easily be Tina Fey, but you know, there are a lot of people who are there now who are also, you know…"under various titles — including writer, producer, and executive producer — since co-creating the show in 1975, aside from a five-year hiatus in the 1980s. Longtime cast member Thompson suggested that the show may not even have a reason to go on without Michaels.
