"Develop your host/emcee skills. Emceeing is one of the best ways for newer comedians to break into clubs and get more stage time. Since you're on stage throughout the entire show, it gives you repeated opportunities to work on your material, sharpen your crowd work, and build a strong stage presence. It's one of the fastest ways to grow as a comedian and get noticed."

LORNE: THE MAN WHO INVENTED SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE

With Saturday Night Live just past the midway point of its historic 50th season, there's no better time to dive into the captivating world behind the scenes of the iconic show. In Lorne by Susan Morrison, readers are given unprecedented access to the enigmatic Lorne Michaels, the mastermind who has shaped the world of comedy for five decades. Michaels is a figure that has both inspired awe and bewilderment—described by the likes of Tracy Morgan as “Obi-Wan Kenobi” and by Bob Odenkirk as a “distant, strange comedy god.” In this definitive biography, Morrison reveals the complexities of a man who has not only created a cultural institution but also remains a mystery to many of those who worked with him. Through hundreds of interviews with SNL’s legendary cast and crew, including Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, and Chris Rock, Lorne is a riveting, behind-the-scenes look at the genius, the business acumen, and the obsession that made Michaels and Saturday Night Live synonymous with comedy. Whether you're an SNL superfan or just curious about the enigmatic mogul who defined late-night TV, this book is a must-read.
