Gasping for Airtime
Gasping for Airtime: Two Years in the Trenches of Saturday Night Live | Jay Mohr
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
When 21-year-old Jay Mohr moved from New Jersey to New York City to pursue his dream of stand-up stardom, he never thought the first real job he'd land would be on Saturday Night Live. But, surprisingly, that's just what he did. What followed were two unbelievable, grueling, and exciting years of feverishly keeping pace with his talented cohorts, out-maneuvering the notorious vices that claimed the lives of other cast members, and struggling at all costs for the holy grail of late-night show business: airtime. In Gasping for Airtime, Jay offers an intimate account of the inner workings of Saturday Night Live. He also dishes on the guest hosts (John Travolta, Shannen Doherty, Charles Barkley), the musical guests (Kurt Cobain, Steven Tyler, Eric Clapton), and of course his SNL castmates (Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Mike Myers, and David Spade). Refreshingly honest and laugh-out-loud funny, this book will appeal both to fans of Jay Mohr and to devotees of Saturday Night Live.

I don't remember seeing Mohr on SNL, and I was a regular watcher during his time there. It's not surprising since he was surrounded by bigger talents like Adam Sandler, Chris Farley and Mike Myers. This audiobook is very whiny, for someone who had landed his dream job, he was the most miserable man in the world. 2 🎤🎤 1/2
