She tells The Huffington Post: "I feel like 'SNL' is so defined by
Lorne's taste and his sensibility. That's why any time people have
tried to imitate the format and make their own version of it, you'll
notice it never really quite happens. And I think that's because he is
the center of that show, and I think it should just — when he wants to
stop, it should just stop."

Translation: I'll take over, but I want serious money to do it.

I just don't like the show anymore.

In our area, NBC is showing SNL most evenings at 9 PM (CST). That's just
too much SNL for me.

The show collapsed when they got the new cast. That happened with the
previous cast, but it eventually came back. There's no way to know if
that will happen again.
