In a recent interview, Lorne Michaels, the long-time showrunner of SNL, suggested that there will be some important cast changes happening heading into next season.
Saturday Night Live is said to be adding an African-American woman to its cast as soon as January in what seems like an obvious response to recent criticism.
It had been rumored in the last couple of weeks but nothing was for sure. Now it’s official: Seth Meyers will take over Jimmy Fallon’s current “Late Night” show when Fallon moves to “The Tonight Show.”
It looks like NBC is continuing with its late night rearrangement as rumors are pointing towards 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin to potentially get his own late night talk show!
The Los Angeles Times has it on good authority that Jimmy Fallon is in talks to host next year’s 2013 Academy Awards, with SNL’s Lorne Michaels to produce. The catch: ABC is unhappy with the idea of having their late night rival showcased.
