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?
As we get closer to the curtains going up on Broadway again (hopefully) on May 30th, we find out which shows will not be back. Mean Girls is the latest production to announce that the lights will stay off for them at the August Wilson Theatre.
The musical based on Tina Fey’s 2004 movie started previews on March 12, 2018. Then one day short of their second anniversary, the Great White Way went silent because of COVID-19.
Even though it will not be returning to the stage, Broadway.com reports a movie version of the musical is in the works.
Awards season is going to look a lot different in 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic. The Tonys and the Grammys do not have a set night yet, the Oscars moved from February 28th to April 25th, and now the Golden Globes has a new date. It is going to be on Oscars’ old night.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association confirmed that Tina Few and Amy Poehler are still hosting the big night. If they will be doing it in front of a live studio audience, that is still an unknown. But who cares TinAmy are back where they belong.
Ricky Gervais said that he would not be back to host the Golden Globes, and as of now, he is not lying like he did in The Invention of Lying. That is because NBC announced today that Amy Poehler and Tina Fey will be hosting the shindig next year in a date to be announced.
The beloved duo hosted the awards show in 2013, 2014 and 2015. How excited are you too see them back?
Julia Louis-Dreyfus was honored with the Mark Twain Prize for comedy at the Kennedy Center yesterday and several funny people came out to roast her. What do you do after a roast? You go out to eat a roast.
That is what she did with Jack Johnson, Tony Hale, Lisa Kudrow, Tina Fey and Keegan-Michael Key. Imagine the conversation they must have had together. Oh, to a be a fly in that soup. Although, that would hurt a lot.
Seriously, who do you think is the funniest person in that group. I am going with the singer because there has to be a reason why they included him.
