(FAQ). Television history was made on Saturday, October 11, 1975,
at 11:30pm (ET), when Chevy Chase welcomed America to the first
episode of a new late-night comedy series. With its cutting edge
satire and cast of young, talented performers, Saturday Night Live
set a new standard for television comedy while launching the
careers of such comedy greats as John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Dan
Aykroyd, Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Will Ferrell, Amy
Poehler, and Tina Fey. Saturday Night Live FAQ is the first book to
offer the show's generations of fans everything they ever wanted to
know (and may have forgotten) about SNL . Beginning with the show's
creation in the mid-1970s by Lorne Michaels and the Not Ready for
Prime Time Players, SNL FAQ takes you through the show's history
with an in-depth look at all thirty-eight seasons. It's all here
the comedic highlights and low points, memorable hosts and musical
guests, controversial moments, and, of course, the recurring
characters and sketches, catch phrases, and film shorts that have
made SNL the epicenter of American comedy for nearly four decades.
SNL FAQ also examines the show's influence on American culture and
includes profiles of over 100 SNL cast members, along with a
comprehensive guide detailing every episode.
