Arrr, me hearties! Lorne Michaels, the grand captain of "Saturday Night Live," be spillin’ the beans! He didn’t send a message in a bottle to the likes o' Trump or Kamala for a wee cameo. Aye, it seems they be too busy steerin’ their own ships!
Arrr matey! It be a fine day for a jest upon the high seas of politics! Lorne Michaels, the cap’n of that raucous ship called "Saturday Night Live," be admitin’ that he won’t be sendin’ messages in bottles to the likes of former President Trump or Vice President Harris for some cameo shenanigans in their 50th season, aye!In a recent parley with the Hollywood Reporter, he claimed the laws o’ the ocean—er, I mean, the election—make it a tricky business. They have to keep the balance, lest they anger the spirits of equal time, which be an ancient rule from 1934. If they invite one, they’d have to invite all, even the more minor scallywags barely known outside three ports!
Yet fear not, for he left the door ajar for a friendly visit post-election. The good captain said, "Everybody knows what we do!" And indeed, if ye ask the candidates, they be sayin’ aye to a jolly good time on stage after they’ve put away their swords for a bit.
Though the main players may not set foot on the deck, the crew, in the form of former cast members, be ready to don the costumes of Trump and Harris, keepin’ the humor afloat amidst the waves of political turmoil! So raise yer tankards, for the comedy ship sails on, matey!
