Key Factors

Frequently Asked Questions

When will this market resolve?

The market will resolve according to the exchange’s stated resolution conditions—typically when an official successor is publicly announced by NBC or SNL or when the market’s close date is reached; since the close is listed as TBD, monitor the exchange’s rules and official SNL/NBC communications for timing.

What counts as an official announcement for determining the winner of this market?

Resolution usually requires an authoritative public statement such as an NBC or SNL press release, an on-air credit naming the showrunner, or another form of confirmation specified in the exchange’s resolution policy; check that policy for the exact evidence accepted.

Could an interim or co-showrunner be the winning outcome in this market?

Whether an interim or co-showrunner wins depends on how the market’s outcomes are defined and the exchange’s definition of 'succeed'; if an outcome exactly matches the officially designated interim/co-showrunner and the exchange accepts that designation, that outcome may settle as the winner.

Who are the types of people typically included among the nine outcomes?

Outcomes commonly include named internal candidates (producers, head writers, senior cast members), potential external hires, and sometimes catch-all options like 'Other' or 'TBD'; review the specific outcome list on the market page to see which individuals or categories are covered.

What announcements or industry signals should I watch that are most likely to move this market?

Key signals include official NBC/SNL press releases, trade-press reports (Variety, Hollywood Reporter), public statements by Lorne Michaels or senior SNL staff, credit listings at season episodes, major NBC leadership changes, labor actions affecting writers or performers, and high-profile hires or departures within the SNL team.
