Word Festival: Lorne – In a year of anniversaries, Saturday Night Live turned 50, and The New Yorker celebrated its first century. To mark the occasion, Word and Working Loose, the Blue Hill “concept shop” and art gallery, hosted a conversation between two New Yorker editors, one of whom has written the definitive biography of SNL founder Lorne Michaels. The event took place on Tuesday, July 29. Susan Morrison, New Yorker articles editor and author of Lorne: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live, was interviewed by New Yorker executive editor Daniel Zalewski. The conversation took place at Working Loose, 49 Main Street, Blue Hill. Recorded by Matt Murphy.
