Saturday Night Live changed the face of television: it introduced brash new stars, trashed TV
taboos, and had an impact on American life, laughter, and politics. Dozens of stars, writers,
guest hosts, contributors, and craftsmen recall the backstage stories, behind-the-scenes gossip,
feuds, foibles, drugs, sex, struggles, and calamities, including personal details never before
revealed.

Stars interviewed include Mike Myers, Chris Rock, Bill Murray, Tom Hanks, Adam Sandler, Chevy
Chase, Will Ferrell, Dan Aykroyd, Steve Martin, Jon Lovitz, Jane Curtin, Billy Crystal, Martin
Short, Dana Carvey, Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Kattan, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Garrett Morris,
Molly Shannon, Damon Wayans, Chris Elliott, Julia Sweeney, Norm Macdonald, and Paul Simon -
plus writers like Al Franken, Conan O'Brien, Larry David, Rosie Shuster, Jack Handey, Robert
Smigel, Don Novello, and others who got their big breaks as part of the SNL team.

Live from New York does what no other book about the show has ever done: It lets the people who
were there tell the story in their own words, blunt and loving and uncensored.
