Actress Molly Shannon supported Kennan Thompson’s idea one day he took over from the “Saturday Night Live” show, Lauren Michaels, although Michaels described it as “indispensable.”
She was born about her opinion on Thompson, who is likely to take matters at the NBC exhibition in an interview with People, Shannon, who was a member of the actors’ team between 1995 and 2001, said it is an “excellent idea”.
“I love this idea. It is the greatest – I love Kennan,” she said, adding that he was “very talented.”
Thompson joined “SNL” in 2003 and is a member of the longest work team in its history, where he achieved his twenty -second season this year.
Rumors of Michaels have grown, as “SNL” approached the fiftieth anniversary of its founding earlier this year, prompting speculation about who could take over the position of the bidder.
For La Colon, the show seems to be the same, regardless of who comes.
“No one can replace it. This show will not be the same, and Shannon told the people of Michaels, who created the comedy show in 1975. It is just a unique genius. Wonderful. Smart.”
“It is his offer and his vision,” she added.
In September 2024, Michaels, 80, treated speculation about his future, and the Hollywood correspondent told that he had no “immediate” retirement plans.
“I know this is a kind of what I do and as long as I can continue to do so, I will continue to do this,” he said at that time.
