Saturday Night Live season 50 only just ended, but that doesn’t mean speculation is already in full swing for season 51. Cast member Heidi Gardner just dropped a major hint about her SNL future.
Gardner was among the names rumored to leave Studio 8H after season 50 wrapped. She’s one of the longest-tenured cast members and admitted to feeling “sketch fatigue” over the past couple of seasons. However, nothing official either way was made public following the season 50 finale.
But a charity auction could be the key to confirming Gardner’s future. The Kanas City native works with the Big Slick. The annual charity event brings together some of the biggest names in entertainment to raise money for Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.
The 2025 event is this weekend and features a silent auction. Among the prizes on the website is the chance to attend a future episode of Saturday Night Live as Heidi Gardner’s guest.
