For the first time ever, with the rare co-operation of long-time SNL producer Lorne Michaels, Pulitzer Prize-winning tv critic Tom Shales and James Miller have interviewed the stars, the writers, the crew and the special guests who have made SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE the greatest long-running comedy of all time. From these backstage stories and uncensored memories they have woven a brilliant oral hsitory that stands as the definitive account of the show's 25- year history. The creative frenzies, the clashing egos, the actors who went on to megastardom in movies and those who just disappeared, the origin of famous routines, the censorship battles, the humour so corrosive that it never got on air, the love affairs, the drugs, the ferocious feuds - it's all here, much of it for the first time and all from the people who lived through it.
