"Saturday Night Live" creator Lorne Michaels said he has thought about what might happen when he leaves the show. He admitted there is a lot of talent to choose from, but when asked about Tina Fey, Michaels said she could be his replacement.
"Of course I've thought about it," the 79-year-old producer told Entertainment Tonight's Nischelle Turner on the Emmy Awards red carpet on Jan 15. "We're doing the 50th anniversary show in February '25. So, I will definitely be there for that and definitely be there until then. And then we'll figure out what we're going to do."
Turner said many people have thought Tina Fey could helm the show. "It could easily be Tina Fey," Michaels said. "But there are a lot of people who are there now who are also, you know."
