Tina Fey recently praised her former boss Lorne Michaels, calling him "irreplaceable" in the context of his potential retirement from Saturday Night Live. Despite speculation that she could take over as showrunner, Fey declined to comment on that possibility. Michaels emphasized Fey's brilliance but noted that there are other candidates for the position. Fey's affection for Michaels and the longevity of his legacy reflects the significant impact he has had on the comedy landscape over decades, as he suggested retirement could coincide with the show's 50th anniversary celebrations.
"He's irreplaceable. His set of gifts and skills are entirely unique. His eye for talent! He's one of the last three people in show business who actually understand everything."
"It could easily be Tina Fey, but you know, there are a lot of people who are there now who are also, you know."
"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."
