As one of the longest-running cast members in SNL history, even Kenan Thompson hinted that the show could wrap things up nicely if it were to end in season 50:

“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’s going to be, you know, probably close to 80 at that point, and you know, he’s the one who had his touch on the whole thing,” Keenan said. Charlemagne that God. “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 at that point you can’t really do the same kind of show, so it’s unfair to watch it blaze Kind of on fire or something like real life because of those limitations, you know what I’m saying. And it would just be something different, so putting it at 50 might not be a bad idea, I don’t know.”

Saturday Night Live Season 48 premieres Saturday, October 1, on NBC and Peacock.
