For my fellow Saturday Night Live viewers, you're welcome. For those who have never seen an episode of Saturday Night Live, SNL was created in 1975 by Lorne Michaels. The comedy sketch and variety show is a well-known American show airing live, on you guessed it, Saturdays at 11:30pm. In the 45+ years it has been airing cast members have come and gone, from Chris Rock, Chris Farley, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, to Will Ferrell.
Here is a list of items that SNL fans can check out to tide them over -- in between Saturdays. In the list below, you will find some stand-up, hilarious autobiographies, and even a fiction novel. Here’s hoping you find some laughs!
