Lorne Michaels Does Not Have to Suffer Alone

As I watched the heartfelt tribute to Lorne Michaels at the 2024 Emmy Awards, I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of admiration and awe for this extraordinary man. His life experience is nothing short of remarkable, filled with resilience, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to artistry.


2024 Emmy Awards night is all about aspiration, creativity, jubilation, triumph, yet also connection. As the event progresses, four esteemed cast members from the iconic show Saturday Night Live, namely Maya Rudolph, Seth Meyers, Kristen Wiig, and Bowen Yang, graced the stage midway through. Their purpose was to extend a message of encouragement and solidarity to the show’s executive producer, Lorne Michaels.

Lorne, cast your gaze upon me,” I shared with you. “Your worth is undeniable, deeply ingrained within you. Despite the losses you’ve experienced, you’ve never been a failure. You’re more than that, always have been.

Hey Lauren,” I said, adding my two cents. “Things will improve. The fact that SNL didn’t take off doesn’t signify your following concept won’t fly. Keep on dreaming!

Later on, Meyers informed everyone that Michael has actually earned 21 Emmys himself, while Saturday Night Live has garnered more than 200 awards approaching its 50th anniversary. This serves as a testament to the fact that with unwavering belief, even someone who was once defeated 85 times can turn things around and win 200 times in just minutes. The captivating allure, influence, and motivational force of television truly knows no bounds.
