Reading bob odenkirk memoir right now and I am on page 83

Here’s my three favorite things so far

1. Every comedy advice is lowkey useful

2. The Chris Farley story broke my heart and probably one of the most interesting things I’ve read in the book so far

3. I find it incredibly funny that Lorne Michaels is a Anglophile

“I found a sublet on 57th and Seventh, in a building called the Osborne, which had a Chock full o'Nuts right on the corner. I began my day with a cup of coffee, The New York Times, and two sugar doughnuts. They were whole-wheat sugar doughnuts. I had learned about nutrition in California. On my first day at work, I showed up at 30 Rock in bell-bottoms, a Hawaiian shirt, and a green corduroy jacket I had bought the day before on Madison Avenue. Needless to say, I looked good.”

I hate them

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I was really sick, like bed bound, and Lorne Michaels had to feed me soup. Neither of us were happy about it.

saturday night was a very interesting watch beginning to end. a lot of the feedback on it (at least from what i’ve seen) says it wishes it saw more of the individual cast members (mainly about gilda radner and john belushi) more fleshed out. i get where that’s coming from, but at the same time, the goal of the movie was to encapsulate the feeling of the panic right before the show first happened. even though characters like chevy chase, dan aykroyd, rosie shuster and lorne michaels were the most focused on throughout the movie, you could still get a sense of how everyone got along and how it worked behind the scenes. i watched the real first episode of snl after watching the movie, and they did a fantastic job of casting people with similar energies to the original cast members.

i would see it again, and would recommend others to see it as well. it’s a solid biopic and i loved garret morris (played by lamorne morris) at the end!

10/10 loved it loved it loved it

As the season went on, "real life" for Michaels and his people was swallowed by the life of the show. They spent all their time together; even on Sundays, their only day off, they'd gather at the Russian Tea Room and then watch 60 Minutes at Michaels's apartment. "I have no personal life at all anymore," he told a reporter that season, adding that he worried about "losing touch."

Miller said, "You only went home to take a shower and change and get two hours' sleep." She organized a seder in the office, with food from Pastrami 'n Things, so that the work wouldn't be interrupted. Aykroyd never unpacked his bags. Newman never bought furniture. Chase's apartment held only a mattress. "You didn't mix with the world or with other people because you were locked in that building," Shuster said. "The sketches became completely self-referential. It became a bubble." It was the seventies, and relationships were fluid and fleeting.

1973.

Lorne Michaels made this CBC pilot before moving to the USA.

Inspired by Monty Python, he attempted to break the norms of Canadian sketch comedy with characters interrupting the sketches before they were done.

Experimental, but not successful, it starred Dan Aykroyd and Valri Bromfield and was written by his then-wife Rosie Shuster (using the name Roz Michaels).
