Lorne Michael is 78 years old, and he has hinted that he plans on retiring at the end of the show’s 50th season in 2025.
So NBC has two options. They can cancel the show, or they can try it out with a new Executive Producer. And if they go with the latter option, Page Six is reporting that Tina Fey is being courted for the job.
“I would be surprised if it wasn’t her,” a source said. “Seth Meyers has his own show. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg won’t come here. Judd Apatow passed [on the job] years ago. Amy Poehler has her own stuff. Bill Hader is directing a movie. Kate McKinnon is too hot.”
Personally, I think she would be the best choice because she has an eye for talent. And that is something Michaels hasn’t had in a really long time. Plus, she is funny. Does the sketch series even remember funny?
The Emmys were slated to happen on September 18th, but that is not happening anymore because of the WGA and the SAG-AFTRA strikes, according to Variety.
That is because the actors and the writers cannot promote their shows or telemovies if they are part of a struck company. And almost every nominee is.
Therefore, NATAS is hoping for a November date, but Fox, who is airing the awards show, is planning for January.
But the problem with January is they will get lost in Awards season. However, the benefit is the networks would be able to promote their new and returning show during the Emmys. So I am thinking we will see Ted Lasso accept its final Emmys in 2024.
The last time the Emmys were postponed was in 2001 due to 9/11.
Before Sally Struthers was dancing with Mike Stivic on All in the Family, she was doing it on The Tim Conway Comedy Hour. How funny was the 22-year-old on that 1970 variety show?

If you asked someone what do you think is the Backstreet Boys’ biggest song? I am sure almost everyone will tell you that it is As Long As You Love Me.
Did you know AJ McLean did not sing on the track? The singer revealed that he had strep throat that day, and they recorded it without him. So he didn’t learn the lyrics until they shot the music video.
If the band ever decides to kick a member out, AJ would be the perfect one. I mean, if he isn’t on their biggest track, no one will miss him.
