SNL (@nbcsnl) May 22, 2023 How long will Saturday Night Live last?Though recent seasons of the
NBC mainstay have been cut short due to strikes and pandemics, SNL creator Lorne Michaels previously revealed his intentions of seeing the show through to its 50th season."The 50th will be a big event," Michaels said last year. "We'll bring everyone back from all 50 years and hosts and all of that. It will be a very emotional and very strong thing. There won't be as many plus-ones, I can tell you that much."SNL mainstay Kenan Thompson has also addressed rumors the show would end with its 50th season, saying it'd be a good benchmark to go out on."I mean, there could be a lot of validity to that rumor because 50 is a good number to stop at, you know what I'm saying, that's an incredible package. [Michaels] will be, you know, probably close to 80-years-old at that point and, you know, he's the one that's had his touch on the whole thing," Kenan told Charlamagne tha God in a 2021 interview. "So if somebody tries to come into his shoes, you know it's a good opportunity for NBC as well, you know what I'm saying, so maybe they might slash the budget. And then at that point you can't really do the same kind of show, so that's unfair to just watch it really go down kind of in flames or whatever like for real for real because of those restrictions, you know what I'm saying. And it'll just be a different thing, so capping it at 50 might not be a bad idea, I don't know."How to watch Saturday Night Live All episodes of Season 48 are streaming on Peacock.
