À propos de cet audio
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 a fourth decade has passed - and best-selling authors James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales have returned to Studio 8H. They raucously and revealingly take the SNL story up to the present, adding a constellation of iconic new stars, surprises, and controversies.

Histoire5 out of 5 stars 1
The award-winning film biographer presents a deeply-textured, ambitious, and definitive portrait of the greatest movie actor of the 20th century, the elusive Marlon Brando, bringing his extraordinarily complex life into view as never before. The most influential movie actor of his era, Marlon Brando changed the way other actors perceived their craft. His approach was natural, honest, and deeply personal, resulting in performances - most notably in A Streetcar Named Desire and On the Waterfront - that are without parallel.

In Bogie & Bacall, William Mann offers a deep and comprehensive look at Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart, and the unlikely love they shared. Mann details their early years—Bogart’s effete upbringing in New York City; Bacall’s rise as a model and actress. He paints a vivid portrait of their courtship and twelve-year marriage: the fights, the reconciliations, the children, the affairs, Bogie’s illness and Bacall’s steadfastness until his death. He offers a sympathetic yet clear-eyed portrait of Bacall’s life after Bogie.

Deep in the Arctic wilderness, Peter Freuchen awoke to find himself buried alive under the snow. During a sudden blizzard the night before, he had taken shelter underneath his dogsled and become trapped there while he slept. Now, as feeling drained from his body, he managed to claw a hole through the ice only to find himself in even greater danger: his beard, wet with condensation from his struggling breath, had frozen to his sled runners and lashed his head in place, exposing it to icy winds that needed only a few minutes to kill him. If Freuchen could escape that, he could escape anything.

Charlie Watts was one of the most decorated musicians in the world, having joined the Rolling Stones, a few months after their formation, early in 1963. A student of jazz drumming, he was headhunted by the band after bumping into them regularly in London’s rhythm and blues clubs. Once installed at the drum seat, he didn’t miss a gig, album or tour in his 60 years in the band.

John Gotti was without a doubt the flashiest and most feared Mafioso in American history. He became the boss of the Gambino Crime Family in spectacular fashion—with the brazen and very public murder of Paul Castellano in front of Sparks Steakhouse in midtown Manhattan in 1985. Not one to stay below law enforcement’s radar, Gotti instead became the first celebrity crime boss. His penchant for eye-catching apparel earned him the nickname “The Dapper Don;” his ability to beat criminal charges led to another: “The Teflon Don.”

Covering the Ice Age to the recent Scottish Referendum, the acclaimed historian and author explores the history of the Scottish nation. Focusing on key moments such as the Battle of Bannockburn and the Jacobite risings, Moffat also features other episodes in history that are perhaps less well documented. From prehistoric timber halls to inventions and literature, Moffat's epic explores the drama of battle, change, loss, and innovation interspersed with the lives of ordinary Scottish folk, the men and women who defined a nation.

This is the memoir music fans have been waiting for. Half of one of the greatest partnerships in popular music, Bernie Taupin is the man who wrote the lyrics for Elton John, who conceived the ideas that spawned countless hits, and sold millions and millions of records. Together, they were a duo, a unit, an immovable object. Their extraordinary, half-century-and-counting creative relationship has been chronicled in biopics (like 2019's Rocketman) and even John's own autobiography, Me. But Taupin, a private person, has kept his own account of their adventures close to his chest, until now.

Great Look Back
I've been watching Saturday Night Live since about 84 or so. Not so much in the last two decades but definitely remember the Chris Farley and Will Ferrell years. I had enjoyed the show and thought this would be a pretty interesting listen and it was.
The story, a complete recollection by the many writers, actors, guests and other personalities that have been or had some part in or on Saturday Night Live since it's start in 75 pieced together to give perspective of moments and events going on during those times.
The reading was well done by both narrators, the flow was ok although I found I would occasionally lose track of who is giving their versions or retelling their stories at times but for the most part it worked. Ultimately, you do get a very good overview and understanding of Saturday Night Live's history and realize that love him or hate him (and there are a number on both sides) Lorne Michaels is an individual who is respected not just for what he created, produced but as a pretty decent person, albeit with a seeming sort of passive aggressive power trip thing going on. 4.1 stars overall.

It's hard to keep up with who's who bc same voices
It's hard to keep up with who's who bc same 2 voices for everyone. I had to rewind often to verify whose story it was. Great story, but just having 2 peopke and not the persons, themselves made it harder to follow. Great stories, though.

Very Meh lol. Performances are cringe-worthy, get ready
It’s dense, only for obsessives and Uber fans of SNL history and lore. More of a salacious, gossipy, behind-the-scenes look at SNL, rather than an objective and academic deep-dive. Seemed to be mostly based on interviews with satellite figures spilling the tee on their experiences, some juicy stories though I guess. Overall the stories are worthwhile, but the performances are pretty rough at times. They seemed to hire B-level voiceover artists, career narrators with a bit of personality and had them voicing these titans of comedy…. Which translated to very annoyingly desperate performances. There was one woman that I could not stand, just insufferable lol. Honestly, the narration kinda ruined it for me.

deeply unsatisfying
started out great! riveting story of SNL, with quotes and interviews with former writers and stars. But the the last third of the book is just incredibly repetitive! just quote after quote about Lorne. nearly everyone loves him except Jeanne Garofalo. OK. We get it. don't have to hear it 25 times.

Fascinating book
This is my third time reading this book. The first two times were the original version, and with an actual hard copy. I loved it then and I love it now.
My takeaways for this version:
1. The updated material DELIGHTED me. They could make a version of this book every ten years and I’d buy it again. The inner workings of SNL never stop intriguing me.
2. My only issue with the reading of the book, and it is one that is hard to solve, is that each genders passage is read by the same voice. So if I miss the name intro, or forget whose name it was because a lot of these names hold little meaning until long into the book, the stories aren’t as valuable. And if I need to know who is saying what, I have to skip back how many seconds to hear their name introduces? It was so frustrating, and could only be fixed by having a different voice for each main character (implausible), or having the persons name be repeated at the end of the story/appear in screen.
