Lorne: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live

內容簡介

內容簡介 《紐約時報》暢銷書！勾勒美國最受歡迎喜劇節目幕後推手的權威傳記在過去五十年間，洛恩·麥可斯(Lorne Michaels)掌舵《週六夜現場》(Saturday Night Live)，成為娛樂界不可取代的傳奇人物。他是潮流的締造者、娛樂大亨、嚴苛的「父親」角色、慧眼獨具的天才發掘者、精明的商人、名流交際家、妙語連珠的說書人，甚至還是《王牌大間諜》裡「邪惡博士」的靈感來源。他贏得超過一百座艾美獎，卻依然是一個謎。歷代編劇與表演者都曾試圖理解他，有人敬仰他，有人卻將他妖魔化。他是「歐比王．肯諾比」(崔西．摩根)、「偉大且神秘的奧茲」(凱特．麥金儂)、「某種遙遠而古怪的喜劇之神」(鮑勃．奧登科克)。《Lorne》將首次完整揭開他的面紗。憑藉對麥可斯本人及整個SNL製作團隊的前所未有的深入訪談，蘇珊．莫里森(Susan Morrison)帶領讀者走進這個傳奇節目的幕後，描繪它如何誕生、起伏，以及如何改變喜劇的歷史。本書匯集數百場訪談，包括麥可斯本人、他的朋友，以及SNL的代表性明星與編劇，從威爾．法洛(Will Ferrell)、蒂娜．費(Tina Fey)、約翰．穆蘭尼(John Mulaney)、克里斯．洛克(Chris Rock)到丹．艾克洛德(Dan Aykroyd)。此書是一部調查深入、趣味橫生的傳記，生動刻畫這位為SNL奉獻一生、對美國文化影響深遠的傳奇人物。「這種傳記通常只會獻給開國元勳、經典作家或世界級科學天才。」——《紐約時報》「這本書帶領讀者一探SNL運作的聖杯——真實呈現這個節目如何從零開始打造。」——《綜藝》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“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.”—VarietyOver 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.
