4.0

Though I've largely been removed from the SNL world for a few years now, it remains a strong memory of my childhood and teenage years. The Christmas special is an annual tradition in my dad's household that I look forward to watching every year. It doesn't matter how many times you see a sketch sometimes- it just is always funny. SNL has touched so many people across the years and has become something that friends and family can share.

This book catalogs nearly 40 years of the show's history, told orally by the cast, crew, writers, hosts, and more. It was fascinating to read about the environment people worked in and how the work culture changed (or didn't change) over all those years. Some of the stories told are just absolutely crazy. But then again, some of the craziest of comedians helped make the show and its legacy what it is today.
