Kenan Thompson Addressed Rumors That “SNL” Will End In 2025

“50 is a good number to stop at.”

Kenan Thompson may be the longest-tenured cast member in the history of SNL, but he’s aware that the show itself will eventually come to an end.

I mean, unless SNL outlives humanity itself.

During an appearance on Hell of a Week with Charlamagne Tha God, Kenan addressed the rumor that the show would finish with Season 50 — aka in 2025.

“OK, well I need to start planning,” he joked, before more seriously adding, “There could be a lot of validity to that rumor because 50 is a good number to stop at.”

“[Lorne Michaels] will be close to 80 years old at that point,” he continued. “He’s the one that’s had his touch on the whole thing so, if somebody tries to come into his shoes, it’s a good opportunity for NBC to save money as well.”

For Kenan, a show without Lorne likely isn’t worth doing: “Maybe they might slash the budget, and at that point, you can’t really do the same kind of show, so that’s really unfair to just really watch it really go down in flames or whatever because of those restrictions. It’d just be a different thing.”

“Capping it at 50 might not be a bad idea,” he added. “I don’t know.”

At least “2025” sounds like one of those made-up future years in my brain!

On March 20, the Trans Rights Readathon kicked off across social platforms, a decentralized fundraiser for trans rights organizations led by author and activist Sim Kern. The readathon challenges people to spend the week reading books written by trans and nonbinary authors, while asking their communities to pledge and support them in donating to trans rights groups like the Trans Health Legal Fund, or even local fundraisers to support their own trans friends. 

Anyone can participate in the Trans Rights Readathon by signing up through this form and then using their platform, whether it be TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Twitch, YouTube, or something else, to post about the books they’re reading and seek pledges. 

Kern says they launched the readathon in direct response to recent legislative efforts that are proliferating across the country. 

“I was feeling so much despair about the barrage of anti-trans bills being proposed across the U.S.,” they told Publisher’s Weekly. “I think so many people, myself included, felt defeated and overwhelmed and not sure what to do.”

If you’d like to participate in the Trans Right Readathon but aren’t sure where to start in terms of what to read, here are 16 recommendations of books by trans authors, spanning across genres from memoir, YA contemporary, magical realism, romance, and more.

Happy reading!
