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. "It reads
like a thriller," said the Associated Press, "and may be the best
book ever written about television." Available for the first time
in ebook format, this edition features nearly fifty photographs of
cast, crew and sketches.
