Today and I -- wonder I mean his he's been come over the hill for a long time as an ER I mean why would the -- going after him. I don't know I don't think Lorne Michaels is a meets Saturday Night Live his real longevity. I don't I think about 80% of its not funny but they had -- they had a great year you know they come in terms of ratings and Lorne Michaels. Don't forget that he he's executive producer 30 Rock which is a very funny show which wins a lot of awards so.
