Live From New York: The Complete, Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live as Told by Its Stars, Writers, and Guests

Live From New York: The Complete, Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live as Told by Its Stars, Writers, and Guests by Tom Shales and James Andrew Miller 2014, Little, Brown and Company

An oral history of the show, updated to before the Trump era. One interesting aspect is how show business has changed over these 40 years, going from petty, paranoid backstabbing to supportive collaboration. However, the less toxic the show got, the less compelling the book.

By the last third we're down to repetitions of "I was so excited when I got to audition" and "I was so sad when it was time to go." I haven't watched in the 21st century, so lengthy monologues on digital shorts and Stefon didn't do me much good.

The book seemed to push back on any criticism that SNL was a boy's club or far behind the curve on casting demographics. They spend a great deal of time talking about an opening where a Black actor runs back and forth to play multiple parts because there was only one in the cast. On the one hand it seems like they're acknowledging the issue, but given that the same gimmick was used by SNL and even Fridays in decades past, it's more of an indictment.

Skip if you idolize the early cast members, I think Jane Curtin and Garrett Morris are the only ones that come out unscathed. I'm surprised Chevy Chase can still talk, his jawbone should be powdered the number of punches to the face he's earned.

My favorite story is from Harry Shearer. Garrett Morris had a regular bit as Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. Shearer also did Sadat and lobbied Loren Michaels to switch for that week's show. Loren seemed to agree, but didn't make the change and didn't tell Shearer, who only found out from the call sheet. Seconds before the sketch starts, Morris leans over to Shearer and says "Hey, you do a pretty good Sadat. What's he sound like again?"

A few interesting anecdotes sprinkled around, but a lot of the same ground covered at length. I think there was a solid hour of the audiobook dedicated to how Michaels manipulated insecure actors with daddy issues, which seems to be most of them.

Season previews: Adelaide Crows (5th)

Last season: 10th (11 wins, 12 losses, 116.8%) Notable ins: Daniel Curtin (no. 8 draft pick) Notable outs: Tom Doedee (Brisbane), Shane McAdam (Melbourne)

Melbourne in 2021. Collingwood in 2022. Port Adelaide in 2023 (plus, after finals, Carlton and GWS). Each year there is usually at least one side that rockets from outside the eight and into the top four. Have stopped just short of that for Adelaide in 2024 but expect them to take another step forward after finishing 14th two seasons ago to then being cruelly denied a finals spot last season. Many will point to the goal umpiring debacle in round 23 against Sydney as costing them (the AFL should be grateful their score review system doesn't also get a pre-season write up). That view wouldn't be wrong but including that game, the Crows played in six matches decided by a goal or less and went 1-5. If they go 3-3, they're in September. Flip it to 5-1 and they're looking at a potential double chance.

Adelaide are not quite yet the complete package - their midfield can lack unpredictability, they are leaky defensively and there is a question mark on the coach. But they have more going for them than not, playing an exciting brand of footy that moves the ball up the ground with risk and dare, and they can kick a winning score. Look for that to continue to be an indicator of success in 2024. The AFL want the game to open up and they tend to get what they want. Adelaide don't play boring football and were no. 1 in the competition for scoring last season.

The downside of playing electric football on offence is that the defence can suffer. Under Matthew Nicks' four seasons in charge, Adelaide have gone 18th, 16th, 15th and 10th for points against. Steady improvement, yes, and they were a very ordinary side when he arrived but the evidence says he is yet to instill an all-of-team defensive mindset. Sides in the premiership window tend to be as good at stopping goals as they are kicking them and Adelaide have have only unlocked one piece of the puzzle. That side of their game will be something to watch for, particularly as the board make a decision on Nicks' contract which expires at the end of the year. They should wait and at least see how a majority of the season plays out and not buy in to the myth of re-signing the coach early to avoid distraction. It may be harsh on Nicks but it is difficult to imagine a rival club falling over themselves to sign him if Adelaide dither a little.

The positive is that as opposed to their cross-town rivals, Port Adelaide, the Crows' veterans look a little fresher and better placed to complement their young guns. Rory Laird, Brad Crouch, Taylor Walker and even Rory Sloane are still playing good football. Walker especially has defied the odds to, at age 33, be playing close to the best football of his career. And they will need him to keep it going a little longer as the next generation of key forward at Adelaide is not so well advanced - neither Riley Thilthorpe nor Darcy Fogarty have yet proven capable of being the main man. There has been some commentary that it is time for Walker to play a reduced role and allow that to happen but you would rather see Thilthorpe and/or Fogarty go and take the mantle from him themselves. There is no such concern over the Crows' small forward stocks with Izak Rankine and Josh Rachele nipping at the heels of Walker and co.

Nicks has been afforded a considerable grace period up to this point given where the club was at when he arrived in 2020. He has done a commendable job to lift them out of the mess left behind by their infamous pre-season camp but that was six years ago now and it's time for them to return to playing in September. The Crows will be a headache for many clubs to contend with in 2024 if they can tighten up across the ground defensively (particularly coming out of the middle), shave a goal or two from the opposition each week and maintain their own high scoring output.
