NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The definitive biography of Lorne Michaels, the man behind America’s most beloved comedy show

“The kind of biographical monument usually consecrated to founding fathers, canonical authors and world-historical scientific geniuses.”—The New York Times (Editors’ Choice)

“Readers are treated to the Holy Grail for any journalist hoping to crack the show: a warts-and-all week in the life of SNL, where Morrison gets to see the real process of putting the thing together.”—Variety

LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/JACQUELINE BOGRAD WELD AWARD FOR BIOGRAPHY • A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR, The New Yorker, Kirkus Reviews, Denver Public Library

Over the fifty years that Lorne Michaels has been at the helm of Saturday Night Live, he has become a revered and inimitable presence in the entertainment world. He’s a tastemaker, a mogul, a withholding father figure, a genius spotter of talent, a shrewd businessman, a name-dropper, a raconteur, the inspiration for Dr. Evil, the winner of more than a hundred Emmys—and, essentially, a mystery. Generations of writers and performers have spent their lives trying to figure him out, by turns demonizing and lionizing him. He’s “Obi-Wan Kenobi” (Tracy Morgan), the “great and powerful Oz” (Kate McKinnon), “some kind of very distant, strange comedy god” (Bob Odenkirk).

Lorne will introduce you to him, in full, for the first time. With unprecedented access to Michaels and the entire SNL apparatus, Susan Morrison takes readers behind the curtain for the lively, up-and-down, definitive story of how Michaels created and maintained the institution that changed comedy forever.

Drawn from hundreds of interviews—with Michaels, his friends, and SNL’s iconic stars and writers, from Will Ferrell to Tina Fey to John Mulaney to Chris Rock to Dan Aykroyd—Lorne is a deeply reported, wildly entertaining account of a man singularly obsessed with the show that would define his life and have a profound impact on American culture.

Editorial Review

The definitive bio of a comedy mogul
It’s hard to picture what the comedy landscape would even look like without Lorne Michaels. As the creator and producer of Saturday Night Live, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this season, he’s not only built a perennially zeitgeist-y cultural juggernaut but has launched hundreds of epic careers. Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Conan O’Brien, Kristen Wiig—these folks are a drop in the bucket. Lorne’s legendary success has made him the subject of boundless curiosity. But he doesn’t do many interviews with the press, and he’s a bit indecipherable even to people who’ve worked with him for years. (“I feel about Lorne how I feel about the ocean. It’s huge and it’s beautiful but I’m afraid of it,” one of his colleagues said.) Which is why I’m extremely excited for Lorne: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live, which is being billed as the definitive bio, with unprecedented access to the man himself, written by longtime New Yorker staffer Susan Morrison. So, live from your earbuds, it’s time to dive into a comedy legend! —Phoebe N., Audible Editor

The narrator trying to do a Lorne impression was a little off putting, but it happened so frequently, it starts to blend.

Good inter-stitching of 50 years of history with 1 week of current production. I

learning about Lorne Michaels' past and how it impacted the evolution of SNL was an amazing ride through history. also facing the realities of TV entertainment was enlightening to a lay person. I knew it was not easy to accomplish this weekly live feat, so it came as no surprise when this was confirmed. overall I enjoyed this biographical story of a very determined man to achieve his goals.
