POPULAR SUBJECT: SNL is one of the most popular and longest running TV show in American history. This book addresses a neglected and important topic that should be popular with a broad readership. USEFUL CASE STUDIES: This book reinvigorates the area of comedy/cultural studies by revisiting existing accounts (Seidman, Krutnik and others) and moving the conversation forward. CONTEXTUAL: One of the major strengths of the book is that it addresses the subject area through a historical focus which makes it appealing to scholars and students alike.

Beschreibung

Saturday Night Live, Hollywood Comedy, and American Culture sheds new light on the ways in which Saturday Night Live s confrontational, boundary-pushing approach spilled over into film production, contributing to some of the biggest hits in Hollywood history, such as National Lampoon s Animal House, Ghostbusters, and Beverly Hills Cop. Jim Whalley also considers how SNL has adapted to meet the needs of subsequent generations, launching the film careers of Mike Myers, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell and others in the process. Supported by extensive archival research, some of Hollywood s most popular comedians are placed into the contexts of film and television comic traditions and social and cultural trends in American life.
