SNL! The World of Saturday Night Live

Scott Nance, Hal Schuster, Kurt Fherenbach — 1992

The television show Saturday Night Live began as a rebellious late-night alternative to the more sedate offerings then available. A phenomenon for 17 years, today it is more popular than ever. From the Coneheads to the Church Lady, Wayne's World to the Bass-O-Matic, the skits are part of the country's shared experience. This book profiles the show from the beginning. 50 photos.
