Adam Sandler reacts to Lorne Michaels ‘Saturday Night Live’ retirement rumors

His reign isn’t quite over yet.

Adam Sandler fully believes “Saturday Night Live” creator and producer Lorne Michaels isn’t quite ready to leave the NBC variety show despite rumors circulating about his retirement.

“I don’t see that happening,” Sandler, 57, told “Entertainment Tonight” at the premiere of his new film, “Spaceman.”

“I don’t, maybe somebody said he might, but I talked to Lorne, I don’t think he’s saying enough. He’s rocking. He loves it.”

According to the “50 First Dates” actor, Michaels, 79, still enjoys putting every single episode together.

“Yeah, he’s doing great,” Sandler continued. “He gets the high just like we always do, every week.

“And he’s in control,” added the “Uncut Gems” star.

Sandler first appeared on the show in 1990 and was a recurring cast member until he was fired in 1995 along with Chris Farley.

“It wasn’t Lorne’s decision,” he said of his and the late Farley’s firing. “The NBC head dude, I know he didn’t like our gang. Me and Farley.”

Rumors that Michaels would retire soon first surfaced when he said he would love to have “SNL” alum Tina Fey eventually replace him.

“It could easily be Tina Fey, but you know, there are a lot of people who are there now,” the head honcho told “ET” in January.

Last year, The Post revealed that the “Mean Girls” creator was being groomed to take over the role once Michaels stepped down.

“I would be surprised if it wasn’t her,” a source told The Post. “Seth Meyers has his own show. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg won’t come here. Judd Apatow passed [on the job] years ago. Amy Poehler has her own stuff. Bill Hader is directing a movie. Kate McKinnon is too hot.”

“I think she’d do it,” a second source commented. “It would keep the husband employed and the kids in school here.”

According to Michaels, Fey, 53, is someone that he could trust implicitly with the show, adding that the former “Weekend Update” anchor is “brilliant” in everything she does.

“She’s a very important person in my life,” he said.

Even with the rumors of his looming retirement, Michaels said that he plans on sticking around at least until the show’s 50th anniversary in 2025.

“I will definitely be there for that, and definitely be there until that,” he shared. “And sometime before that, we’ll figure out what we’re gonna do.”

Michaels helped co-create the hit sketch show in 1975 and served as writer, producer and executive producer for more than 40 years.

The show’s 50th season, which is expected to start airing in fall 2024, will also coincide with Michael’s 80th birthday.

Rumors of Fey’s impending takeover of “SNL” were seemingly backed by the show’s longtime carpenter, Stephen “Demo” DeMaria.

“I heard she’s gonna take Lorne Michaels’ place if he decides to go out when he’s 50 [years in], like me,” he said to The Post.
