Items related to Live from New York: An Uncensored History of Saturday...
With the rare co-operation of long-time SNL producer Lorne Michaels, Pulitzer Prize-winning tv critic Tom Shales and James Miller have interviewed the stars, the writers, the crew and the special guests who have made SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE the greatest long-running comedy of all time. From these backstage stories and uncensored memories they have woven a brilliant oral hsitory that stands as the definitive account of the show's 25-year history. The creative frenzies, the clashing egos, the actors who went on to megastardom in movies and those who just disappeared, the origin of famous routines, the censorship battles, the humour so corrosive that it never got on air, the love affairs, the drugs, the ferocious feuds - it's all here, much of it for the first time and all from the people who lived through it.

Review:
"Refreshing....Shales and Miller paint a detailed landscape portrait of what has become an American cultural icon, one that will guide any attentive reader to a fuller understanding of comedy, TV, and the culture itself." ---Steve Johnson, Chicago Tribune "A patchwork of backbiting, humor, intelligence, backbiting, gossip, backbiting, and backbiting." ---Newsweek "Tremendous fun." ---Rob Walker, Newsday "A sharp-clawed, incisive account of how nearly three decades' worth of comic talent has emerged from a single television show." ---Janet Maslin, New York Times "A guilty pleasure of the highest order....Live From New York shines." ---Lev Grossman, Time "Constantly entertaining....It's revealing, it's funny, it's mesmerizing." ---Entertainment Weekly

Book Description Softcover. Condition: new. James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales's definitive oral history of Saturday Night Live, hailed as "incredible" (Vulture) and "required reading" (People).When first published to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Saturday Night Live, Live from New York was immediately proclaimed the best book ever produced on the landmark and legendary late-night show. In their own words, unfiltered and uncensored, a dazzling galaxy of trail-blazing talents recalled three turbulent decades of on-camera antics and off-camera escapades.Now decades have passed, and bestselling authors James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales have returned to Studio 8H. Over more than 100 pages of new material, they raucously and revealingly take the SNL story up to the present, adding a constellation of iconic new stars, surprises, and controversies.
