“Saturday Night Live” cast members won’t be forced to appear alongside controversial billionaire Elon Musk when he hosts the show, Page Six is told.
“Speaking historically, if a cast member has been that unhappy, they don’t have to do it,” a source told us. “[‘SNL’ boss Lorne Michaels] won’t ever make them do anything they don’t want to do.”
The Tesla founder, 49, is set to helm the NBC institution on May 8 — but some cast members have made it clear that they’re less than enthused by the prospect of having him on stage at Studio 8H.
After Musk tweeted, “Let’s find out just how live Saturday Night Live really is,” cast member Bowen Yang wrote: “What the f–k does this even mean?”
Meanwhile, writer Andrew Dismukes posted on Instagram: “Only CEO I want to do a sketch with is Cher-E Oteri,” over a photo of “SNL” alum Cheri Oteri.
Longtime cast member Aidy Bryant shared a message that many perceived to be a dig at Musk too. The “Shrill” star, 33, reposted a tweet by Sen. Bernie Sanders that called it a “moral obscenity” that “the 50 wealthiest people in America today own more wealth than the bottom half of our people.”
As for Michael Che, the “Weekend Update” host, 37, joked to Jimmy Fallon this week that he hopes the billionaire will uphold the “SNL” tradition of hosts giving “a couple million dollars” to each cast member.
Miley Cyrus has also been blasted for signing up to perform on Musk’s episode after some fans claimed online that he’s “destroying the planet” and doesn’t like women.
Musk will join the cast for rehearsals at 30 Rock beginning on Tuesday.

Musk was a liberal/leftist icon until he criticized the cancel culture/ censorship crap they were pulling.
Now he is one of “them.”
Never forget there is never any forgiveness from leftists. Once you admit you were wrong all you do is move ahead to the execution.
Even some liberals are starting to wake up to the monster that is leftist politics.
Stop listening to them. Ignore them. They are the enemy.
What night is SNL on?
SNL is still on the air?
“What night is SNL on?”
Thursday.
Agree it can’t be any worse then what they have now.
>>>What night is SNL on?<<<
The last Episode was on last Wednesday at 6:00 EDT broadcast from the NBC Studio in Washington D.C.
It was frigging hilarious.
Is that show still on? I don’t even recognize any of the names they listed.... Well, other than Elon’s.
More like 1975.
Aidy Bryant is big fat pig who is about funny as a pay toilet in a diarrhea ward. Her presence took the show even lower than it already was.
A 'Saturday Night Live' cast members make on average about $15,000 PER EPISODE... To be in the top one percent (1%) of wage earners IN THE WORLD a person needs a salary of $34,000 per year. Aidy Bryant is delusional...
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2082385/We-1--You-need-34k-income-global-elite--half-worlds-richest-live-U-S.html America IS the 1%: You need just $34,000 annual income to be in the global elite... and HALF the world's richest people live in the U.S
Let’s see how many of them boycott Starlink.
C'mon, man! Did you watch the clip? "George Soros. Owner, Democratic Party." That's funny right there I don't care who you are! (Unless you're a Lib, a bunch of whom gave SNL a bunch of Shiite over it back when it came out...)
However, I will grant you that the original cast was the funniest, followed by the cast that had Eddie Murphy.
Any other casts, not so much.
The idiot hypocrite cast members apparently have no problem with filthy rich Lorne Michaels.
SNL was funny in the day.
The had universal humor.
Then they went to North east humor.
Then they went to New York humor.
Then they went to NYC humor.
The rest of us didn’t get it.
It was still funny in the late ‘90s. Norm MacDonald killed it as the anchor at the Weekend Update. He was not the most PC guy so he got in trouble so he got fired. Also, they did “The Ambiguously Gay Duo” animation which was hilarious but they haven’t done it in years because it mocked gay people.
Screw SNL.
They have proven over and over again how irrelevant they really are.
Neil is the Senior Correspondent for CBC, based in Washington, District of Corruption. His anti-American, anti-conservative, anti-Israeli, and pro-socialist, and ESPECIALLY anti-PDJT comments put MadMax(ine) Waters to shame!
Must be interesting discussions at the Christmas dinner table, though I doubt Neil has either the intelligence, the wit, or the timing to say much against older brother Norm.
