Over the fifty years that Lorne Michaels has been at the helm of Saturday Night Live, he has become a revered and inimitable presence in the entertainment world. He’s a tastemaker, a mogul, a withholding father figure, a genius spotter of talent, a shrewd businessman, a name-dropper, a raconteur, the inspiration for Dr. Evil, the winner of more than a hundred Emmys—and, essentially, a mystery. Generations of writers and performers have spent their lives trying to figure him out, by turns demonizing and lionizing him.

Great read but several weird mispronunciations
Revisado: 02-20-25
If you're a longtime SNL fan, this book is like gorging on candy and I can't recommend it highly enough. One strange quibble: I wonder if anyone listened to the audiobook before it was published? There are several mispronunciations that stopped me cold: Eddie (instead of Edie) Gorme, Jan (instead of Jann, pronounced Yon) Wenner, En-SIGN (instead of Ensign) Pulver, to say nothing of the mangled Yiddish words mo-hell (instead of "mohel") and ki-bite-zing (instead of kibitzing). In a book overflowing with famous names, how did a proof-listener not catch these obvious flubs?
