About this listen

Step behind the curtain of one of television’s most iconic shows with Live from New York! Five Decades of Laughs, Legends, and Lobster Claws. This unauthorized, unhinged, and unapologetic deep dive into Saturday Night Live takes you on a wild ride through 50 years of comedy chaos, legendary sketches, and the stars who made it all happen.

From Chevy Chase’s pratfalls to Eddie Murphy’s Gumby, from “More Cowbell” to Kate McKinnon’s alien-abducting RBG, this book is your backstage pass to the laughter, drama, and occasional cocaine-fueled meltdowns that defined SNL. Discover how Lorne Michaels, the enigmatic mastermind, turned a ragtag group of comedians into a cultural phenomenon—and how the show survived bad sketches, worse hosts, and Sinéad O’Connor’s papal photo-ripping controversy.
