Some say SNL will never be as good as it used to be. I think it’s slowly returning to be the gem of television it once was. If you like SNL as much as I do, do yourself a favor and pick up Live From New York by Thomas Shales and James Miller. The 30+ year history of the show produced some amazing stories, and they’re told from the view of those who were there. The book is written in a sort of chronological interview between the authors and the hundreds of people who walked the halls of studio 17. Inside info, celebrity in-fighting, horrible guests, sex, drugs…and a lot more drugs, it’s all there. Wanna know why Chevy Chase is banned from ever being on SNL again? Wanna know how the show even got on TV? Then Read it!
