The Fate of ‘SNL’ After Lorne, and Streaming’s Most Overpriced Platforms

Matt is joined by Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw to recap “SNL50” and look ahead to the future of SNL in a post–Lorne Michaels world, and they wonder whether NBC will continue to finance such a costly and labor-intensive show. Then they debate which streamers are under- or overpriced based on a new streaming report that compares each streamer’s value based on hours viewed vs. subscription price (02:53). Matt finishes the show with a prediction about Kevin Costner’s Horizon franchise (25:56).
