Lorne Michaels has some big plans for “Saturday Night Live” Season 51. In an August interview with Puck News, the “SNL” creator talked about the future of the hit show, which has been running since 1975, and said he plans on shaking up the cast for the new season.

The season 51 cast of Saturday Night Live might look a little different than last year, according to showrunner Lorne Michaels. Michaels, 80, told Puck in a profile published on Sunday, August 24, that he hoped to shake up the casting lineup.

For context, Punkie Johnson, Molly Kearney and Chloe Troast exited after Season 49, leaving the rest of the cast the same. While there were additions too, for the most part, the ensemble was consistent from season to season.
