Seth Meyers<\/strong><\/a> isn\u2019t looking to take over for Lorne Michaels<\/strong><\/a> at Saturday Night Live<\/em><\/strong><\/a> anytime soon. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s been a significant amount of chatter online about who will replace Lorne <\/strong>as the head of the long-running sketch comedy series, particularly after Lorne <\/strong>alluded to his departure in a 2021 interview. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think I\u2019m committed to doing the show until its 50th anniversary, which is in three years,\u201d he told Gayle King<\/strong><\/a> at the time<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019d like to see that through and I have a feeling that would be a really good time to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seth <\/strong>told Deadline <\/a>that while he\u2019s \u201cflattered\u201d to hear that people consider him a capable replacement, it\u2019s not something he\u2019s interested in.<\/p>\n

He told the outlet \u201cto hear my name in this conversation is another thing that\u2019s so lovely and flattering\u201d, but added: \u201cWith that said, it is not a job for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seth<\/strong> continued, \u201cI really think everybody underestimates the idea that Lorne Michaels<\/strong> might just be irreplaceable. The people who love that show the most, don\u2019t agree with every choice Lorne\u2019s made, but there is a consistency to the taste and tone of that show that I don\u2019t think another person could replicate. I also think every hosts walks in that place and trusts him because he\u2019s an icon and if you take over for an icon, you don\u2019t get to be an icon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seth <\/strong>was one of SNL<\/em>\u2018s Not Ready for Primetime Players from 2001 to 2014, where he served as a head writer and a Weekend Update<\/em> co-anchor. He currently hosts NBC\u2019s Late Night with Seth Meyers<\/em>.<\/p>\n
