Biography & Autobiography. Nonfiction. Entertainment. Humor (Nonfiction.) HTML: Saturday Night is the intimate history of the original Saturday Night Live, from its beginnings as an outlaw program produced by an unruly band of renegades from the comedy underground to a TV institution that made stars of John Belushi, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner, Jane Curtin, Laraine Newman, Garrett Morris, Joe Piscopo and Eddie Murphy. This is the book that revealed to the world what really happened behind the scenes during the first ten years of this groundbreaking program, from the battles SNL fought with NBC to the battles fought within the show itself. It's all here: The love affairs, betrayals, rivalries, drug problems, overnight successes, and bitter failures, mixed with the creation of some of the most outrageous and original comedy ever.

Fascinating, though perhaps a little too in-depths at times: I think "And then more drama happened" could have replaced a hundred or so pages. If you want more ammunition to support the suggestion that highly creative types in groups are occasionally become out-of-control prima donnas, this book would provide it for you. (

It's been thirty years since this book came out and Live From New York has supplanted it as the definitive resource on SNL, but this is still a worthwhile read. For one thing, this book is nearly as long as LfNY and focuses entirely on the first ten years of the show, which allows the authors to go into much greater detail. Oft-repeated anecdotes are expanded upon here: for example, I knew that Belushi insisted his favorite band, Fear, play on the show; I had no idea this happened during the Ebersol years when Belushi had already left the show. This also goes into more depth about both the process of making the show, and the personalities behind it. LfNY's oral history is the perfect format for SNL, but Saturday Night paints a more flawed portrait of its many characters, perhaps thanks to the anonymous nature of the information gathered. (

Impressively researched and well-written account of the beginnings of the groundbreaking TV show. If you're looking for humorous anecdotes you'd be better off elsewhere, but if you're interested in the show's larger-than-life personalities (including writers, producers, directors, and network executives) and their machinations, I doubt you can find a better book.

Focusing on the first ten years of the show (and really mostly on the first five years), this book is an insightful and inevitably somewhat gossipy history of how this comedy institution came to be. Be warned however, it is a surprisingly dry read, and its concluding chapters are severely outdated. (Disappointingly, this ebook edition does not include an update.) But the story it tells about those formative years are often fascinating, especially so when put into context of the global TV landscape at the time.

The best compliment I can give this book is that it made me really want to watch some of those older shows, some of which I recall from highlights broadcast on MTV Europe ages ago. Unfortunately, almost none of SNL's content seems to be readily and easily available in Belgium at the moment, a shame because the show has produced some hysterical sketches over time. (
