Kenan Thompson Responds to Rumors That ‘Saturday Night Live’ Will End After 50 Years: ‘A Good Number to Stop At’

Nothing worthwhile lasts forever. NBC sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live may expire after its 50th season, according to actor Kenan Thompson. No official announcement has been made on the subject, however.

On Saturday, July 30, “Comedy Central’s Hell of a Week with Charlamagne Tha God,” the 44-year-old veteran of Saturday Night Live was quizzed regarding the possibility of a series finale. ‘The rumor is that the show will finish during its 50th season because Mr. Lorne Michaels doesn’t want to continue doing it at age 80,’ the Breakfast Club host, 44, said Thompson.” What do you think?”

Then he said jokingly, “All right, well I need to start planning.”

Since 1975, Lorne Michaels has been the showrunner of Saturday Night Live as executive producer and writer. From 1980 to 1985, he was the studio’s top dog, but he’s been back since then.

On the podcast, Thompson said, “There could be a lot of validity to that rumor, because 50 is a good number to stop at,” Thompson reasoned while on the podcast. “That’s an incredible package. He’s the one that’s had his touch on the whole thing, so if somebody tries to come into his shoes … ”

A excellent opportunity for NBC to save money, said the Good Burger actor: “You know what I’m saying? Because of this, it’s possible that [NBC] may reduce the budget, making it impossible to produce the same type of show.

When Charlamagne inquired about Thompson’s thoughts on Lorne, the All That alum said ;

“I’m just saying it opens opportunity for a lot of bulls–t to come into the game. [Michaels] is such a legend that he keeps off those corporate wolves, if you will,” Thompson continued. “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. It’s the only one.”

Even while showrunner Michaels has hinted he may step down after the 2024-2025 season, he hasn’t indicated that NBC plans to terminate the show altogether.

“You know, I think I’m committed to doing this show until its 50th anniversary, which is in three years,” Michaels said on CBS Mornings with Gayle King in December 2021. “I’d like to see that through, and I have a feeling that’d be a really good time to leave. But here’s the point: I won’t want the show ever to be bad. I care too deeply about it. It’s been my life’s work. So I’m going to do everything I can to see it carry on.”

We like Saturday Night Live. With that said all things must come to an end. We hope it's more like the end of an era but not the end of the show. The show must go on, right?

Diddy’s Joker costume from the 1989 film provided plenty of laughs on Halloween night. On the other hand, he may have been too immersed in his role when he had a weekend altercation with “Power” actor Michael J. Ferguson.

On camera, Ferguson refers to Diddy as “p—-,” prompting the rapper to laugh like the Joker and label Ferguson “clown.”

“What’s up, baby? You don’t like me,” Diddy asked Ferguson. “Then motherf—— get to it, n—-. If you don’t like me, you motherf—— fronting. Get to it b—-. Don’t f—— play with me on Halloween. I’m out here with love, n—-.”

At this moment, Ferguson still seems to be unaware that the man behind the mask is actually Diddy, as he keeps attacking the performer.

“You f—— p—-, make sure you won’t never talk to me that like,” Diddy said. “We’re having a good time. Why do you want to come at me like that? You got a problem? You really taking over my energy right now. What did I do to you? Do you know who I am?”

Diddy then tells him who he is, and it deescalates.

Janet has yet to respond, though. But others have.

Kanye West to Buy Conservative Social Platform Parler After Twitter, Instagram Ban

The controversial conservative social networking site Parler has announced that it will be acquired by Kanye West.

Parler’s parent company, Parlement Technologies, released a statement on Monday stating that they are “pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement in principle for Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, to acquire the Parler platform.”

Further, “the acquisition guarantees Parler a future role in developing an uncancelable ecosystem where all opinions are welcome,” the company said.

President and CEO of Parler George Farmer remarked, “Ye’s acquiring of Parler will strengthen our ability to create an uncancelable ecosystem. No one should have to self-censor out of uncertainty about which legal speech will get him or her banned. No individual or business should worry about being completely deplatformed, as Parler was, merely for the expression of opposing viewpoints. 

We intend for Parler to always be a safe space for open discussion and open minds. We shall keep up our resistance to tyranny, censorship, and cancel culture.

The 45-year-old artist and entrepreneur Kanye West bought Parlor after having his Twitter account suspended earlier this month for a regulation violation.

The Hollywood Reporter claims that in a now-deleted tweet, West threatened to unleash “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.”

“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” he wrote, per the outlet. “The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”

Twitter took this action after the Grammy winner had his account blocked by Instagram and had content deleted from his profile for breaking Instagram’s terms of service, as reported by NBC News and CNN.

Even though many people were offended by a post published by West that has since been deleted, a Meta spokeswoman would not clarify to any outlet what content was in violation.

The “Stronger” singer posted a screenshot of a conversation he had with Sean “Diddy” Combs, in which it appeared that West had said Combs, 52, was under Jewish influence. He captioned the photo, “Jesus is Jew,” as reported by NBC News.
