SNL’s Fate After Lorne, and Streaming’s Most Overpriced Platforms

Matt is joined by Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw to recap ‘SNL50’ and look ahead to the future of ‘SNL’ in a post–Lorne Michaels world, and wonder whether NBC will continue to finance such a costly and labor intensive show.

Matt finishes the show with a prediction about Kevin Costner’s ‘Horizon’ franchise (25:56). For a 20 percent discount on Matt’s Hollywood insider newsletter, ‘What I’m Hearing ...,’ click here.
