NBC Posts Full ‘SNL' Goodnights After Season 50 Finale Gets Cut Off
Viewers of the live show saw Johansson and musical guests Bad Bunny and RaiNao on the stage with the full Saturday Night Live cast. Johansson's husband, Colin Jost, rushed over to hand her a large bouquet of roses and kiss her before she thanked the musical guests and surprise SNL returnee Mike Myers.
An emotional Johansson went on to congratulate 'the incredible cast and crew for these 50 years." 'So amazing," she said. "Lorne Michaels, wherever you are. You're not gonna want me to single you out, but congratulations. You are a singular man," Johansson added of the SNL creator before the broadcast was suddenly cut off.
NBC posted the full goodnights on X, where Johansson could be seen continuing on with, 'Thank you! Thank you so much!' She then blew kisses at the audience. As the SNL credits rolled, she hugged Myers and cried as she kissed her husband again. The rest of the cast members were seen doing their traditional hugs and goodnights as the SNL band played.
SNL Season 50 ended with no official announcement that any of the cast members will be leaving next season. Of the 17 Season 50 cast members, six of them—Jost, Michael Che, Heidi Gardner, Mikey Day, Ego Nwodim, and Kenan Thompson— have been on the show for more than seven years, per Deadline.

‘The Office' star Brian Baumgartner on what he really thinks of ‘The Paper' spinoff – and if he'd join
They're moving offices. Brian Baumgartner is all for the 'Office' spinoff 'The Paper' — even if Kevin Malone and his famous chili aren't involved. 'We have heard from Greg Daniels, the creator, about it. I saw the the the trailer just was launched a few days ago. I thought the trailer was fantastic. I'm really excited to watch it,' Baumgartner, 52, exclusively told The Post. 7 Brian Baumgartner in his video interview with the New York Post.

Samuel Adams Baumgartner played the eccentric Kevin in 'The Office,' starring in the hit NBC show from 2005 to 2013 alongside Steve Carrell, John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fisher, Mindy Kaling, and more. 'The Paper' (premiering Sept. 4 on Peacock) will be a mockumentary in a similar style to 'The Office,' following a new cast of characters helmed by 'The Office' creator Daniels. Original 'The Office' star Oscar Núñez is the only cast member who will reprise his role. 'You know, not yet at the moment,' Baumgartner said of making a cameo himself. 'But … I would certainly do whatever [Daniels] thinks is a good idea.' 'I'm excited to see it,' he added, while promoting his partnership with Samuel Adam's Octoberfest beer, including a limited-edition Fall Legends Commissioner's Kit for Fantasy Football season. 'I really haven't seen much, but I thought that the trailer was really well done, really engaging, very, very, very 'Office looking.'' 7 Ellie Kemper, Mindy Kaling, Brian Baumgartner and Kate Flannery in 'The Office.' ©NBC/Courtesy Everett Collection 7 The Samuel Adams Octoberfest beer that Brian Baumgartner is promoting.

Although 'The Office' was a hit when it was airing, regularly drawing over 7 million viewers per episode, it exploded in recent years. It was the most streamed show of 2020, raking in over 57 billion minutes viewed, per Nielsen data. 7 Kate Flannery, Brian Baumgartner, Catherine Tate, Leslie David Baker in 'The Office.' ©NBC/Courtesy Everett Collection 7 Brian Baumgartner as Kevin Malone in 'The Office.' NBCUniversal via Getty Images 'When the show was over, I thought, okay, on to the next,' Baumgartner told The Post. 'And then….it started being streamed on Netflix, and it started picking up. The pandemic is when things just went nuts.' 'I was chatting with Rainn and said, 'it feels like the show is as big as it was when we were at the height.' And I remember this specifically, he said, 'no, it feels bigger.'' Baumgartner noted that it's even become 'difficult once again to navigate an airport or to go out again.' 'You could feel an energy,' he explained. '[It's] younger people who weren't alive or certainly not watching 'The Office' when it was on originally [airing]. I've joked it feels like by high school, it's required viewing for people.'

Channel 4 Content Boss Joins Heated ‘Adolescence' Debate & Calls Out Netflix For Not Doing Spotlight Session At Edinburgh TV Festival
Channel 4 content boss Ian Katz has joined the Adolescence debate sparked this morning at the Edinburgh TV Festival and called out Netflix for not hosting a Spotlight Session at the fest. While noting 'we love Netflix' as a platform, Katz swung in behind his news chief Louisa Compton, who earlier today said that Netflix behaved like 'TV tourists' over Adolescence after Channel 4 had spent decades giving opportunities to Adolescence co-creators Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham. More from Deadline Netflix UK Scripted Chief Bristles At "TV Tourists" Barb After Success Of 'Adolescence' Roy Wood Jr. Predicts Stephen Colbert Will Become Leading Anti-Trump Voice On YouTube Next Year Paramount UK Chief Ben Frow Says Channel 5 Won't Be Sold After Skydance Merger 'What Louise was getting at is there is a bit of a problem when global streamers are happy to take advantage of an incredibly rich global ecosystem that has been built up through years and years of PSBs investing in talent, in small companies, spread around the country,' added Katz. Deadline revealed last week that Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and Warner Bros. Discovery wouldn't be taking part in their usual Spotlight Sessions at Edinburgh TV Fest and Katz called this out. 'They don't have any obligation to do any of those things. They're not even having Spotlight Sessions,' he said. Israel-Gaza conflict Elsewhere, Katz delivered an emotive viewpoint on why broadcasters and broader institutions need to get their coverage of the Israel-Gaza conflict spot on or risk losing young audiences in their entirety. He added: 'The thing that really strikes me as an industry, and perhaps more widely as a set of institutions, is that we are at risk of missing the fact that for a lot of younger people in this country the Gaza-Israel conflict has become the defining issue for their generation. 'If we don't get Gaza-Israel right we will lose young audiences and could lose them for a generation.' Katz, who at last night's annual press dinner praised Channel 4's risk-taking over taking on the BBC's Gaza: Doctors Under Attack documentary, said his network has handled the conflict 'very sure-footedly and with subtlety, intelligence and commitment.' He said there had previously 'been a slightly lazy caricature' that younger audiences only want to watch shows like Married at First Sight and Love Island, or tune into YouTubers like Mr Beast and the Sidemen. Channel 4 has been massively ramping up drama of late, having unveiled shows from the likes of Steven Moffat, Ronan Bennett and starring Glenn Close at this year's fest so far. Katz said his team is looking at drama costing around £2.5M ($3.4M) to £2.7M, which is not prohibitively expensive, and that the network is 'not sitting back and waiting for American co-producers.' He said the network's two most-watched dramas of the year, Patience and In Flight, are 'at the bottom end scale of our tariffs.' He was speaking at the Edinburgh TV Fest on the same day as Shonda Rhimes and Roy Wood Jr. Best of Deadline 2025 TV Series Renewals: Photo Gallery 2025 TV Cancellations: Photo Gallery Everything We Know About 'The Boys' Prequel Series 'Vought Rising' So Far
