apparently not so sure.

her thoughts on her former boss’s seeming endorsement of her, when he said in
January 2024 that she “could easily” replace him on the long-running NBC
comedy sketch show.

“His set of gifts and skills are entirely unique,” Fey added. “His eye for
talent! He’s one of the last three people in show business who actually
