Interesting, pretty solid

I read this as a lifelong SNL fan with intrigue as to how he came to represent so much generational talent. It was interesting and worth the time. The amount of time given to settling old scores was pretty funny. And the space devoted to speaking to industry problems and solutions is at this point pretty dated. Overall though, worth the time for those interested.
