Episode description
TVC 666.1: From October 2014: Ed welcomes Doug Hill and Jeffrey Weingrad, co-authors of Saturday Night: A Backstage History of Saturday Night Live, everything you wanted to know about the first ten years of 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 began its fiftieth season on NBC in October 2024. Featuring more than 250 interviews, including many of the show's original writers and SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels, Saturday Night: A Backstage History of Saturday Night Live was hailed by the Associated Press as "maybe the best book ever written about television."
