John Mulaney Had a Hilarious Response to Speculation About an ‘SNL’ Succession Plan
- John Mulaney responded humorously to a question about taking over Saturday Night Live from Lorne Michaels during an event in Los Angeles this week.
- This question arose amid ongoing speculation about Michaels, who has run SNL since 1975 and is now 80, possibly retiring after the 50th season just ended.
- Mulaney, a comedian and former SNL writer from 2008 to 2012, deflected by joking that Michaels knows how to avoid danger after living 50 years in New York.
- Michaels publicly said last year he plans to run the show "as long as I feel I can do it" and noted he always relies on others, suggesting Tina Fey as a potential successor.
- The exchange highlights Michaels’ ongoing leadership and the respect he commands, while confirming that succession discussions remain speculative rather than imminent.
