Saturday night may not be so live from New York this week.
The Post has learned that “Saturday Night Live” was on the verge of canceling tonight’s final episode of the iconic sketch show’s 2021 season due to an in-house outbreak of positive COVID-19 cases.
A set insider has revealed that “four actors” have tested positive for coronavirus — and “three others” have called out because they are now “fearful” about coming to NBC Studios at 30 Rockefeller Center, where the weekly sketch show is filmed in Midtown.
Another insider claimed that executive producer Lorne Michaels had tested positive, adding that the “show must go on but don’t expect to see Colin Jost, Sarah Sherman or (Aristotle) Athari.” Jost usually hosts “Weekend Update” with Michael Che, while Sherman and Athari are both newcomers to the ensemble this season.
A source also told The Post that Cecily Strong is one of the cast members who has voiced concern over the outbreak.

If snl isn't on....will anyone really miss it??
A pandemic of the triple-vaxxed.
Seriously though. The actors on SNL are young. So what are they worried about?
In years gone by I would have thought the title here was one of the skits.
What is SNL ?
Lorne Michaels is 77 years old. He’s probably quadruple-vaxxed and still got it.

just another way to steal the snowflakes freedom
Oh wow, I’m really panicking knowing that a show that I didn’t know was still on the air, with all those people I’ve never heard of (except Lorne Michaels who is usually not on camera) will not have a contrived live audience
Maybe they’ll do better with a laugh track.
They are in overdrive working-up panic over this. When it turns out to be nothing more then the usual cold season they will have lost even more credibility. I don’t get it.
Fools all...we never tested for the Asain flu...the more tests the more cases..
Midterm variant. Cheat by mail will be back.
Fearful.
What a way to go through life.
Sucks to be a TV-hypnotized leftist.
