Lorne Michaels has addressed the major cast shakeup at “Saturday Night Live,” saying, “Change is good.”

While on the red carpet at the Emmys on Sunday, where “SNL50” won best variety special, Entertainment Tonight asked Michaels about the recent cast changes.

“The show has always brought people in from different ages and different generations and it’s how it revives itself,” Michaels said. “It’s always hard when people leave, but there’s a time for that and our audience has always stayed relatively young, and more so now with TikTok.”

“Change is good,” he continued. “The people we’re bringing in, I’m really excited about.”

Lorne’s comments come after several “SNL” cast members have announced their departure from the iconic late night sketch comedy show.
