Peter, if you remember, doesn't grow up. As in get older. It must be the fairy dust. 

He does return, from time to time,  to the Darling household, in a feeble attempt to reengage the now aging Wendy for a little revisit to Never-never land. Sadly, she must decline. 

Why? 

It seems that she's recently been booked to host the next segment on Saturday Night Live. 

Wendy, clever girl, aware that the viewership, after Betty White's evening as the host, was huge. Armed with this info she demanded compensation way above her usual day rate. And, of course, Lorne agreed. 

Peter_Pan_004After all Lorne, now 65, figures that he, like Peter, has to rethink what he needs to do to motivate anyone to keep coming back to Neverland. 

Tinkerbell has been making infrequent guest appearances. Captain Hook has finally come out and is now encouraging others to follow suit. 

Lorne was last seen imploring those who still believed in SNL to clap their hands. "Tune in next week", he said, "to get there take the second star on the right and head straight on til' morning."

Until then, he sits, patiently waiting for the Lost Boys, or is it the Wild and Crazy Guys, to come and take him out for a spin.
