Rumours are that Tina Fey is being courted to take over for Lorne Michaels as executive producer of Saturday Night Live.

According to the New York Post, NBC has spoken to her about taking the role.

The source told the outlet "I would be surprised if it wasn't her. 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."

Tina Fey has a long history with the show, which she starred in from 1996-2007. She was a writer and weekend update anchor, has guest-starred many times, and is a member of the prestigious five timers club.
