#NoFemmeber #NonFictionNovember Day 9... #DebbieDowner debuted on Saturday Night Live In 2004. Her character‘s name quickly found its way into mainstream culture. If you weren‘t the life of the party you were a #DebbieDowner #WahWaaaaaaaaaah BTW: book looks awesome 😎

Megabooks, Billypar

hermyknee Oh have you read Rachel Dratch‘s book

Girl Walks into a Bar . . .: Comedy Calamities, Dating Disasters, and a Midlife Miracle

hermyknee It‘s so funny! 6y

Cinfhen Not yet but I have it on my TBR @hermyknee ❤️ she‘s hilarious @batsy 6y

emilyhaldi Debbie Downer is the best!!! One of the only SNL skits I actually like. (just not my humor...) 6y

Billypar Now I'm second guessing how much of Debbie I've actually seen, versus just bring familiar with. I stopped watching SNL in the early 2000s and missed a lot I think! 6y

Megabooks I remember Debbie Downer! Now I have her Ruby Tuesday‘s ads going through my head. 🤪🤪🤪 6y

The more I read about the early days of SNL, the more convinced i am of the fact that Lorne Michaels was kind of a douche.

SNL has been rather hit or miss (with more misses) over the last few years, so I tend to DVR the season and catch up on the few funny clips over the summer. I've been doing just that, and that's why this book came to mind. #itshistory #anditsaugust

Timehop told me that one year ago today, I voted in the primaries. That reminded me of this cold open of SNL after the November election, when Kate McKinnon, as Hillary Clinton, sang #Hallelujah.

It seems like the longest election season ever is turning into the longest presidency ever. When will our long, national nightmare end?

Jess_Read_This Agree! This was a great skit too... 8y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I know! One of the newspeople yesterday mentioned how long this Presidency has been, 4, almost 5 months....that's it, and it feels like years. Plus all the talk of 2020, and the fact that I still see political ads... it's like the Presidential election that never ends. 8y

Nat_Reads I'm so frustrated. Just keep voting just keep voting (and crying) 8y

Notafraidofwords Ahhhh!!! It's an emotional roller coaster. 8y

Redjewel_7734 It's definitely a bad time right now, & it's scary to think where & in what shape the US will be by the end of his term. I just don't know how we got to the point that this is the administration we have. Living in E KY, I know a lot of Republicans and people who support the cheeto & overall this admin does not represent who they are. They are better than this. I just don't know why they can't see that. 8y

lynneamch Still 💔 Hoping to send a message at local and state levels. 8y

I stopped watching Saturday Night Live sometime in the 90's. At first I just gradually lost interest, when I was working a lot, sometimes until 1:00 or 1:30 in the morning. Then I made a conscious decision to stop watching because I had young kids and I felt like the show was no longer funny, it was just raunch. But after reading this fascinating book I now feel very nostalgic and want to go back and watch from the very beginning.

I never really watched Saturday Night Live after the original cast left, but I'm still wondering how did I not ever know that Julia Louis-Dreyfus had been a cast member?

If you can handle the #truth, here's a selection of great non-fiction from my shelves (and one I just got from the library)
