SNL Cast Members Can Skip the Elon Musk Show If They Really Hate Him Being There – autoevolution

On May 8, 2021, Technoking and Imperator of Mars Elon Musk will be making his comedy debut, hosting Saturday Night Live on NBC. Confirmation of his hosting is still getting many people very hot under the collar.

Even SNL cast members voiced their displeasure at having Musk on the show, one way or the other. Among them, Bowen Yang, Aidy Bryant, Michael Che, and writer Andrew Dismukes posted messages on social media, showing or hinting that they thought the host choice was a very bad one.

According to Page Six, if any one of these SNL regulars or others find the job of sharing the screen with Musk too much to bear, they can simply opt out of this weeks episode. Speaking historically, if a cast member has been that unhappy, they dont have to do it, a source tells the publication. [SNL boss Lorne Michaels] wont ever make them do anything they dont want to do. The same source says that Musk is very much a showman, which is probably a comeback to all those claiming Michaels and NBC sold out for bigger ratings. After all, SNL is hardly in the habit of bringing tech guys or public figures that are too controversial on board.

On a positive note, the report notes that not one of the SNL regulars has yet announced an intention to skip this weeks show. Good or bad, Musks appearance on the show will be history in the making. And, certainly, the ratings are bound to go up, especially since Mr. Technoking has made it clear that he has no plan of toning it down for the sake of the cameras.
