Tina Fey responds to Lorne Michaels' comment that she 'could easily' take over SNL: 'He's irreplaceable'

Tina Fey responded to Lorne Michaels saying that she 'could easily' take over for him as 'Saturday Night Live' boss: 'He's irreplaceable.'

In the same THR piece, Fey's longtime friend and collaborator, Amy Poehler, also acknowledged the speculation that the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt creator could take over at SNL. Michaels' full comment to Entertainment Tonight on the 2023 Emmys red carpet came after a question specifically asking if Fey was in the running to replace him at SNL. Michaels suggested that he might step down from SNL following the show's 50th anniversary special, back when that milestone was over a year away — but now that the celebration is over, there's been no indication that the longtime producer is slowing down anytime soon.
