Lorne Michaels Repeatsly Texts Dana Carvey About Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni Lawsuit

Lorne Michaels, 80, has repeatedly texted Dana Carvey about the ongoing legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni after Ryan Reynolds made a joke about it during the “Saturday Night Live” 50th anniversary special.

Carvey shared this on the “Fly on the Wall” podcast, revealing that after congratulating Michaels on the show, he received texts from him about the headline-making drama, including claims of Baldoni’s plans to countersue and Lively possibly getting a new attorney.

When Carvey tried to change the subject, Michaels responded by saying Reynolds has deep pockets.

The incident sparked controversy, with some claiming Reynolds played a part in crafting the joke idea. However, several sources disputed Wally Feresten’s claims that he was involved in the writing process.

Reynolds’ joke about the situation was seen as tongue-in-cheek by Carvey and his co-host David Spade, who related to their efforts to add levity to the serious situation.
