Lorne Synopsis
From Academy Award–winning filmmaker Morgan Neville, Lorne pulls back the curtain on Lorne Michaels, the elusive force behind Saturday Night Live, in the first in-depth portrait of his life and legacy.
Drawing on unprecedented access to Michaels and the halls of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, the documentary charts his unlikely rise from Canadian writer-producer to the architect of a late-night institution that redefined American comedy. Through rare archival footage and frank new interviews with SNL’s most influential alumni – including Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, John Mulaney, Andy Samberg, Conan O’Brien and Chris Rock – the film explores how Michaels has discovered generations of talent, navigated cultural firestorms, and quietly steered a live television juggernaut for nearly fifty years.
Intimate, funny and revealing, Lorne offers an inside look at the man who turned sketch comedy into a weekly ritual and became one of television’s most powerful — and most private — storytellers.
