Narrated by Jay Mohr.
When 21-year-old Jay Mohr moved from New Jersey to New York City to pursue
his dream of stand-up stardom, he never thought the first real job he'd
land would be on Saturday Night Live. But, surprisingly, that's just what
he did. What followed were two unbelievable, grueling, and exciting years
of feverishly keeping pace with his talented cohorts, outmaneuvering the
notorious vices that claimed the lives of other cast members, and
struggling at all costs for the holy grail of late-night show business:
airtime. In Gasping for Airtime, Jay offers an intimate account of the
inner workings of Saturday Night Live. He also dishes on the guest hosts
(John Travolta, Shannen Doherty, Charles Barkley), the musical guests
(Kurt Cobain, Steven Tyler, Eric Clapton), and of course his SNL castmates
(Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Mike Myers, and David Spade). Refreshingly
honest and laugh-out-loud funny, this book will appeal both to fans of Jay
Mohr and to devotees of Saturday Night Live.
