US EditionJohn Mulaney Had a Hilarious Response to Speculation About an ‘SNL’ Succession Plan
- John Mulaney, a comedian and former SNL writer, humorously deflected a question about replacing Lorne Michaels at a Los Angeles event this week.
- This question arose amid widespread speculation about Michaels, creator and longtime producer of SNL since 1975, planning to retire around the show’s 50th season.
- Mulaney responded, "He's lived in New York for 50 years, you don't think he knows how to dodge a bus?", underscoring Michaels’ long tenure and experience.
- At 80 years old, Michaels stated last year that he plans to continue leading SNL "as long as I feel I can do it," and expressed confidence that Tina Fey would be a natural successor, a sentiment Fey responded to with warmth and affection.
- These remarks highlight ongoing retirement discussions but suggest Michaels plans a gradual transition while Mulaney distances himself from succession speculation.
