Lorne: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live

Well written and a great read for any fan of SNL.
It was a bit long, at over 600 pages, but written in a way that kept your attention.
I was 15 in 1975 when it first aired and I remember lying in my bed after a night spent with good friends and SNL popped on at 11:30 and I was hooked.
Definitely groundbreaking stuff.
Lorne was a visionary and he had the guts to put stuff out there that would make a parent in the 70’s cringe. Mine never knew what I was watching since they were already asleep.
It became my Saturday Night Ritual. I stopped watching a few years back. I just don’t find it enjoyable anymore. I guess the torch has passed to a new generation or two, but I’m so glad I got on for the ride at the very beginning when it was truly good.

Wonderful review Carol. I am amazed at his tenacity, and that this show is still on! Perhaps because it says current with the times, and knows how to make fun of it. I don't watch it, but I can see how appealing it can be to others! 🙂
