An interspersed, day-by-day look at how one 2018 Jonah Hill SNL episode got made wakes up a somewhat standard biography of a mysterious broadcast king. Perhaps it‘s no surprise, but the highlight of the book is a chapter titled “Saturday,” with exciting reporting and fascinating candid quotations from the room of writers, performers and one decisive producer as they move closer to the thrill of being live from New York.

This #ISpyBingo board was submitted by @LiseWorks !! I just typed it up for her 😁 For this board, instead of looking for items on the cover, you'll be looking for books that fit each prompt. Thank you for creating this board, Lise!!!

ElizaMarie This is great! I love the idea of this for a challenge next year.

What fun to revisit another childhood TV hero: Bob Keeshan aka Captain Kangaroo! This pictorial celebrates 50 years of this groundbreaking show (1955-84) The Captain taught us kids about kindness, diversity & respect. He hosted “Reading Stories” so we could fall in love with books. He & sidekick Mr. Green Jeans even taught us to appreciate nature, animals and our environment. That‘s before being replaced by cartoons/marketing tools to sell toys.🙄

MemoirsForMe In later life, Bob became an ardent advocate for anything that affects the well-being of children. We sure could use you nowadays, Captain!

Finished this audio on a plane today…. So fun hearing all the behind the scenes stories from this incredible show. Once I get back home, a rewatch is definitely happening!

#TLT #threelistthursday @dabbe

I can't believe I never posted my favorite scary movies from last week! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I cheated a bit because two of them are tv episodes of the epic TWILIGHT ZONE by Rod Serling: “Living Doll“ and “The Dummy“. Talking dolls. 'Nuff said.

The other is NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Best zombie movie ever. 🖤🧟🖤

AmyG I love the old movies. And anything Twilight Zone. 2mo
dabbe @AmyG Another thing we have in common, sista! 🖤 2mo

"Portland is Portlanding" is the most Portland headline out there.

I have been distracted and personally overwhelmed, but I am so proud of my city. Emergency Naked Bike Ride was today so look forward to that in the news it was a cold and wet day for it.

Megbert Wow I just googled this, what a fabulous city of morally decent humans! The naked protesting cyclists, committed!! 2mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @Megbert ❤️ I love my city! We really are just a bunch of weirdos who want to see good in the world. The city has a long history of political protesting and I think we do it in a really clever way. 2mo
Megbert I hope to visit someday 😍 4w

When Shirley tells you in the first 3 pages to get the smelling salts & get ready for the surprise of your life, she‘s not kidding! “Real-life” Shirley is not at all like her squeaky clean image. Includes both sweet & wild stories about her films, her family, her troubled marriage to impressively endowed Jack Cassidy & all the behind-the-scenes infidelities. Gotta admire her candor in this hair-curling page-turner!☺️🌶️

Deblovestoread @MemoirsForMe I was able to borrow from Libby and listened last week. Not the Shirley Jones I imagined. It was a great read. 💙 1mo
MemoirsForMe @Deblovestoread Oh, I bet the audiobook read by Shirley was even more fun. Glad you enjoyed it. Now you‘ll have to read David Cassidy‘s! 😉 1mo
