Lorne Michaels Suggests Tina Fey Could Succeed Him at 'Saturday Night Live'

Michaels to Remain with Show Until 50th Anniversary in 2025

Lorne Michaels, the creator of 'Saturday Night Live', has hinted that Tina Fey could be his successor when he retires.
Michaels praised Fey, who was SNL’s first female head writer and a cast member from 1997 to 2006, as 'brilliant and great at everything'.
Michaels has confirmed that he will remain with the show until its 50th anniversary in February 2025.
Fey has had a successful career post-SNL, creating the hit sitcom '30 Rock' and working on several projects with Michaels, including 'Mean Girls' and 'Baby Mama'.
Despite the speculation, Fey has previously expressed disinterest in taking over for Michaels, joking that he 'will live forever'.
