This past weekend, Saturday Night Live held a three and a half hour live celebration of the show’s 40th anniversary. The special brought back favourite cast members and characters and did its best to stuff as many cameo appearances into as many sketches as possible. The show also features montages of some of the more memorable moments on the show. Everyone who was interviewed said the same thing, be it a host, a cast member or musical guest, that the experience was just so unreal.
Live From New York is an oral history of the show from its birth in 1975 to the 2002-2003 season when it was published. It is 600 pages long as is simply conversations with people who were involved with the show. Seeing all of these old sketches made me want to learn more about what goes on behind the scenes, so I am looking forward to reading this.

This is awesome! I totally need to read this as my fiance and I love watching SNL and are currently catching up on the 40th Anniversary special. This is going on my TBR list. Thanks! 🙂
Yeah, there are also so many memoirs written by SNL alumni that I want to read. Will hopefully be posting them soon.
