If you want to know the ins and outs of Saturday Night Live, this is the book to read. It is a real eye opener.

The authors interviewed cast (as available) hosts, writers, producers, etc. of this long-running show. Details the various seasons of the TV program and the cast & writer changes over the years. Minimal narrative, this book consists of brief accounts and reads like multiple interviews on various topics. Easy to read, stop, and pick back up. Ends with 2002 season.

It reads like stereo instructions.
They jump back and forth from person to person. Each titled with the person who said it and then about a paragraph worth of information. I found it choppy and hard to read. Since I came later to SNL reading about the very early years was not all eye opening for me.
