Rumors abound that “four actors” from SNL have tested positive for coronavirus — and “three others” called out because they were now “fearful” about coming to NBC Studios at 30 Rockefeller Center..
The show therefore continued but with no audience.. the musical guest canceled ..
Although some set sources claimed executive producer Lorne Michaels, 77, had tested positive, others have denounced that as “NOT” true — and confirmed that he’s actually on set overseeing the show last night..
Sources to the New York Post murmured that the “show must go on but don’t expect to see Colin Jost, Sarah Sherman or (Aristotle) Athari.” Jost, 39, usually hosts “Weekend Update” with Michael Che, 38, while Sherman, 28, and Athari, 30, are both newcomers to the ensemble this season.
There is no word as to how the virus spread so quickly among the cast of the show. But the positivity rate and numbers are shooting go dramatically in New York City right now..
He next focal point will be on Mayor DeBlasio.. he may not be the grinch who will steal Christmas but will he call off the New Years rocking super spreader event?
