'Survivor' Season 50 premieres in early 2026.

Kenan Thompson teases 'a lot of change' may be coming to 'SNL'
Kenan Thompson teases 'a lot of change' may be coming to 'SNL' Show Caption Hide Caption SNL turns 50! How Lorne Michaels made comedy cool again. In the decades since its creation, SNL has become a cultural institution for American comedy. Will they stay or will they go? As "Saturday Night Live" fans speculate about which cast members may not return to Studio 8H, Kenan Thompson is teasing change on the horizon. Speaking with Page Six, the "SNL" star, 47, hinted that the show may look different when it resumes in the fall as he reflected that the end of its latest season was "bittersweet." "Especially this year where it feels like there's maybe, possibly, a lot of change next year," he said. "You want everyone to stay forever, knowing that people may be making decisions this summer ... it's always like you want your kids to stay young," Thompson added. It has not been announced which "SNL" cast members may leave the show between seasons. The Season 50 finale, which aired May 17, did not appear to give any of its stars an obvious sendoff, though it did poke fun at the speculation about who might be on their way out. In host Scarlett Johansson's opening monologue, the actress sang that "Sarah is leaving," referring to cast member Sarah Sherman, who then pretended to be distraught and confused as if hearing this for the first time. 'SNL' cold open mocks Trump's Middle East trip, Qatar jet 'pre-bribe' The Season 50 finale also joked about rumors that Colin Jost could leave his position as anchor on "Weekend Update," either to get a promotion or to exit the show entirely. During a joke swap segment, where Jost and co-anchor Michael Che made each other read jokes they wrote for one another, Jost was forced to read a message urging "SNL" creator Lorne Michaels to retire and let him run the show. Michael Che apologizes to Scarlett Johansson for crude 'SNL' joke swap Despite speculation that Michaels might retire from "SNL" after the landmark 50th season, the producer told The Hollywood Reporter last year he would stick around as long as he can. "There's no immediate plan," he said of retirement. Some fans also noticed that "SNL" star Bowen Yang appeared emotional during the finale's closing credits, sparking theories that it could have been his last episode. Yang later told Entertainment Weekly he "was just processing that being one of the last 'last nights' that I would have, and that is a huge thing." But when asked directly if he would return for Season 51, Yang would not say.

‘SNL's Weekend Update Sees Triumphant Return Of Ego Nwodim's Crowd-Pleasing Alter Ego Miss Eggy (No FCC Slip-Ups This Time)
Miss Eggy is back and men ain't what? Amid a whirlwind Season 50 finale episode featuring a traditional Weekend Update joke swap, the Saturday Night Live anchor desk also saw the triumphant return of crowd favorite Miss Eggy, an ebullient and pun-filled comedic alter ego of MVP Ego Nwodim's. More from Deadline 'Saturday Night Live' Opens With 'Fake' Donald Trump Defending Qatar's 'Gift' Of A Jumbo Jet — An Hour After The Real POTUS Did The Same 'SNL' May Avoid FCC Probe Over 'Sh*t' Talk From Studio Audience During Weekend Update Skit Weekend Update Joke Swap Sees Michael Che Atone For Scarlett Johansson Joke As Colin Jost Comes For Lorne Michaels' Throne: "Retire B*tch" This time, the comedienne was asked back to comment on Newark's airport safety, acting out a bit while on a JetBlue flight. 'You know her, you love her, you got her fined by the FCC,' Jost introduced, as Nwodim's character quickly got down to brass tacks about the real problem plaguing travel: bad airplane cuisine. Ever the wordsmith and whip-smart as always, Miss Eggy refused the butternut squash ravioli, telling the attendant, 'more like, better-not offer me that mess 'till you put some meat in it,' punctuating the statement with her signature 'sucka!' She added in a separate one-liner about dry Biscoff cookies: 'More like you about to piss a bisc-off.' Another top contender: 'Flight attendant saying the only sandwich they got on this plane is a turkey pesto on ciabatta. All I know is this bitch ci-boutta lose her life. That bread was harder than my man when I get out the tub; his name's Maurice, but I call him Tray, because he stay in the upright and locked position.' Miss Eggy's other gripe? 'And y'all went and took peanuts off the plane because everybody wanna have an allergy. If you don't take a Benadryl and shut your gay ass up.' 'And how about that TSA, huh? Putting on them Papa Smurf gloves, thinking they can feel me up just because I got a gun,' she said, as she prompted the audience for another call-and-response. While the crowd accurately shouted-out earlier that Miss Eggy don't 'play,' it was remiss to respond 'strapped' when she asked, 'Cause Miss Eggy stay what?' Nwodim concluded her time with a truly terrific Eggs Benedict pun, and based on audience response, it seems the midsize bag-carrying problematic auntie comic is welcome to the anchor desk anytime.

NBC Posts Full ‘SNL' Goodnights After Season 50 Finale Gets Cut Off
Saturday Night Live's Season 50 finale had an abrupt end, but NBC came to the rescue. At the end of the live broadcast on May 17, guest host Scarlett Johansson's thank yous and the cast's traditional 'goodnights' were cut off as the network cut to a commercial. The ad, for Suits L.A., cut off the show at 1:02 a.m., two minutes past its normal ending time on the East Coast. 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.
