Only the editors of Rolling Stone could have captured the élan vital, the coldly intellectual wit, the essential hubris of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. Over the past four years, that magazine has reported extensively on the show, assiduously chronicling SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE's evolution from a mere cult phenomenon to its present status as the cultural event of the decade. Rolling Stone has observed the show, in Tom Burke's words, "laughing, mocking, smirking, stumbling, bumbling and prattalling into the twisted hearts and minds of America."
