Andy Samberg Has A Frightening View of What an Emmy Should Look Like

New York Times' Illustrated Interview taught us three things about Andy Samberg. He has terrible taste in hats, he hopes to someday look like a creature from your worst nightmare, and if he ruled the world, the Emmy award would be a giant replication of a sick person's intestines. But at least he knows what to order for a last meal if he's ever on death row.

The Changing Tides of Saturday Night Live with James Miller

if you want to try to understand the reach of the show, one place to get a good start is by reading "Live From New York: The Complete Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live as Told by Its Stars, Writers and Guests." Authors and historians Tom Shales and Jim Miller conducted, compiled and edited the massive collection which tells the story of SNL through (as the title suggests) uncensored interviews with the cast, crew and guest hosts. Even at two lbs, and 800 pages, its the kind of book you can't put down with its fill of historical record, touching moments, fights, love, hate, and even backstage gossip. The original edition covering the first 25 years of Saturday Night Live was released in 2002, but a brand new release brings the book up to date covering the entire 40 year history. We couldn't wait to talk with author Jim Miller about the new edition, and the changes that have taken place during the last decade and a half.
