That’s the end, says Kenan Thompson Saturday Night Live After season 50 this may not be a bad idea. The long-term member of the cast spoke to Charlemagne Tha Jude on Comedy Central hell of the week. There was a rumor that the number 50 might be the magic number for SNL. Lorne Michaels was 80 years old at the time. However, Thompson would be shocked by the possibility. When the idea was presented to him, there was some disbelief. But, as he spoke to Charlemagne, the possibility grew that 50 would be the final season. There is no escaping the facts of TV broadcasting. Streaming services and the pandemic have changed the landscape across all entertainment. Networks may be looking to cut costs, and although they are an enterprise, SNL It would be a prime candidate to save some money. Add factors related to Michaels’ age and focus on them. Nothing is written in stone, but Thompson could see that happen if the executives went that route.
“I mean, there could be a lot of truth to this rumor because 50 is a good number to stop at, you know what I’m saying, it’s an incredible package. [Michaels] He’d be, you know, close to 80 at that point, and you know, the one who touched him on the whole thing,” Keenan noted. So if someone tries to come in their shoes, you know it’s a good opportunity for NBC too, you know what I’m saying, so maybe they cut the budget. And then at this point, you can’t really do the same kind of show, so it’s unfair to watch it kind of catch on fire or anything like real life because of those limitations, you know what I’m saying. And it’s just going to be something different, so putting it at 50 might not be a bad idea, I don’t know. “
Previously, the star spoke to Chance the Rapper about what kept him up for so long. While speaking at SXSW, Kenan thought about the unique energy in the studio’s performance. It will be very difficult to repeat.
“We’re in season 46 now – I’ve been there for 17 years [years]He said, “It’s a wild place! That’s why I’m in no hurry to leave because I’ve never seen anything like it and second place, not many live shows left. It never gets old because it’s a comic strip and it changes every week.”
Thompson continued when his early years emerged: “I was either a child actor in movies…or I was just a TV kid and that’s all I did.” “You’re not a working person who moves from one job to another and you just have a career. This was a new kind of thing. Our generation was focused on getting other jobs and other gigs.”
