Lorne Michaels couldnt stop texting about Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni drama after SNL 50 anniversary special, says Dana Carvey

Lorne Michaels appears to be riveted by Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s ongoing legal dispute, according to former “SNL” cast member Dana Carvey.On Thursday’s episode of his and fellow “Saturday Night Live” alum David Spade’s “Fly on the Wall podcast,” Carvey, 69, shared that Michaels, 80, has repeatedly texted him about the drama between the “It Ends With Us” stars.Their exchange began after Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, 48, poked fun at the feud during the “SNL” 50th anniversary special in a segment where Tina Fey and Amy Poehler took questions from the star-studded audience in Studio 8H.
