The Internet has saved the best Saturday Night Live memories for last. Just ahead of tonight’s big 40th anniversary special, former Washington Post TV critic Tom Shales, who was born two weeks ahead of Lorne Michaels in the fall of 1944 and co-authored an oral history of the program that was recently updated, has shared his golden memories. Memories bathed in a lifelong friendship with Michaels and access to the VIP viewing spot under the bleachers.
It’s a great read, and includes Shales’ recollections of the time Michaels came to Washington D.C.
