Synopsis
This history of the television program SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE is comprised of candid commentaries by many of the actors, writers, producers, directors, and guest stars who have appeared on or worked for the show. Beginning with commentary on how the show was first conceived and cast, this overview concludes with the 2001-2002 season. Topics discussed include backstage gossip (Bill Murray and Chevy Chase once came to blows right before air time), drug addiction (Larraine Newman was a heroin addict the entire time she was on the show), and the "boys' club" attitude which left many of the women who have appeared on the show feeling neglected and unhappy (Jane Curtain and producer Lorne Michaels communicated only through third parties, and Janeane Garofalo has made no secret of her intense feelings about her sojourn). Much of the book focuses on the contributions of Lorne Michaels and the feelings (often negative) he brings out in writers, cast members, and television executives.
