    Some thoughts on David Chappelle's recent SNL monolog? Not trying to be intentionally provocative, but I'd like to hear reactions to some of the controversy I am reading.

    I hope this does not happen, SNL is an American institution and should continue indefinitely:

    https://www.newsweek.com/snl-kenan-t...chaels-1729483
    Saturday Night Live has been on air since 1975, but recent comments from stars who work on the show have suggested that the sketch comedy variety series could be coming to an end in the next few years.

    Actor Kenan Thompson and creator Lorne Michaels have both stated in recent interviews that the show, which will air its 48th season later this year, could end after its 50th installment.

    SNL has featured stars like Pete Davidson, Steve Martin, Dan Aykroyd, Tina Fey and Adam Sandler in its cast, as well as boasting superstar hosts such as Kim Kardashian, Donald Glover and Emma Stone.

    So will SNL's 50th season be its last? Newsweek has everything you need to know about what's been said about SNL ending.

    Kenan & Kel star Thompson, who is currently SNL's longest-running cast member, recently said that Season 50 might be "a good number to stop at."

    Thompson made the comments on Comedy Central's Hell of a Week with Charlamagne Tha God when host Charlamagne informed him of the rumor about SNL ending after its 50th season.

    The rumor stems from SNL creator and executive producer Michaels' 2021 interview with Gayle King on CBS Morning. During the interview, Michaels, 77, confirmed he would stay on the show until its 50th anniversary. "I'd like to see that through and I have a feeling that would be a really good time to leave," he said.

    Speaking with Charlamagne about these comments, Thompson said: "Is that the rumor? OK, well I need to start planning.

    "There could be a lot of validity to that rumor because 50 is a good number to stop at. It's an incredible package."

    Aside from a five-year period from 1980-85, Michaels has been running SNL since its launch in 1975. He also executive produces late-night shows The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers—both hosted by former Saturday Night Live stars.

    Continuing to discuss Michaels' influence on the show, Thompson wouldn't say that the show couldn't continue without him, but said Michaels' departure would open up an "opportunity for a lot of bull**** to come into the game."

    "[Michaels] is such a legend that he keeps off those corporate wolves if you will," Thompson said. "They spend a lot of money on that show every week, it's an expensive show but it's a one of a kind thing."

    Haven't watched SNL for many years so if it goes away, I won't miss it. As for Chappelle, I guess I am in the minority. I've never found him to be the least bit funny.

    There are no coincidences. Only Ka.

    All episodes are now streaming on Peacock. So I'm toying with the idea of a project to watch every episode from Season 1 until now

    Apparently that's not correct. A lot of the episodes are missing the musical performances and sketches. Some episodes are as short as nine minutes!

    NBC has always kept tight control of those old episodes. I remember one with Heather Locklear and Mike Myers where she plays a racist spokesperson for some product and keeps saying offensive things and smiling while angry callers call in. It's a funny sketch but can't find it.

    And just getting back to the rumors of SNL ending after the 50th season, again I honestly believe it's an iconic American television institution like The Tonight Show or Meet the Press. It should not be canceled. Also, SNL's next episode will be its 937th. That means if it airs its usual 20-21 episode seasons, it will hit episode 1,000 in its 51st season. No way would NBC not want to get to that.

    NBC is ready to open the 49th season of “Saturday Night Live,” pushed back just a week or two from when the series might normally launch in the fall.

    After being shut down in May by the Hollywood writers strike, “SNL” will return on October 14, marking the first of three consecutive weeks of original broadcasts, NBC said in an announcement Wednesday. Ice Spice will serve as musical guest. Davidson had been scheduled to host the show last season, before the strike forced “SNL” to go dark. Bad Bunny will host and perform on Oct. 21.

    The entire cast is set to return, with a single addition: Chloe Troast, who has performed with the writer trio that makes up SNL’s “Please Don’t Destroy,” joins as a featured player. NBC did not say whether any of the current group of featured players, which include Sarah Sherman and James Austin Johnson, had been promoted to the main cast.

    As more TV viewers migrate to streaming services to watch their favorite scripted dramas and comedies on demand, “SNL” has taken on new importance for NBC. Once relegated to airing after the late local news in a time slot network executives didn’t consider paramount, the program now runs live across the U.S. all at once, meaning that it runs in primetime in certain parts of the country. The show is one of the most-watched entertainment programs on TV among viewers between 18 and 49, the demographic most preferred by advertisers.

    NBCUniversal has already started negotiating with advertisers for sponsorships tied to the landmark 50th season of “SNL,” slated to debut in the fall of 2024. In March, “SNL” executive producer Lorne Michaels made a presentation in Studio 8H, the show’s longtime home at NBC’s New York headquarters, to around 100 advertisers about what to expect as the anniversary draws near. NBC plans a series of retrospectives around “SNL” as well as at least one documentary about the program.

    “Saturday Night Live” generated approximately $74,7 million dollars in ad sales in 2022, according to Vivvix, a tracker of ad spending. That figure represents a 12% dip from the nearly $85.3 million “SNL” generated in 2021.
