Johnny Mac previews Saturday Night Live with host Will Ferrell and musical guest Paul McCartney amid speculation about whether Lorne Michaels is leaving, and discusses Chris Rock on the Fly on the Wall podcast saying he had “beef” with Tupac because they dated the same women, raising renewed interest due to Tupac’s connection to Jada and her past claim that Rock once asked her out. He explores the possibility of Ringo Starr joining McCartney on SNL, citing their new duet “Home to Us,” and recounts Lorne’s 1976 on-air offer to pay The Beatles $3,000 to reunite. Other updates include Jeff Ross saying Hart’s roast could have been McCartney’s, The Rolling Stones’ upcoming album Foreign Tongues (out July 10) with McCartney among guests, Fallon bits with the band, Kevin Hart’s Michelob ULTRA World Cup 2026 fan job, Ron Taylor’s Netflix special status, Obama teasing an HBO Larry David project (June 26), renewals for The Paper and Reggie Dinkins, a Brett Goldstein Prime Video rom-com, and Jon Stewart drumming with Church and State.
