Baby Don't Hurt Me: Stories and Scars from Saturday Night Live

Baby Don't Hurt Me: Stories and Scars from Saturday Night Live by Chris Kattan  288 pages

I love reading the biographies of people and this one was no exception.    Chris Kattan names names, tells what happened and often how he was to blame for some fallouts and how he was hurt or elated by relationships, celebrity pals and his time in the Groundlings in L.A. and the years he was later on SNL.  His relationship with Lorne Michaels was never what he so wanted it to be and he later talks about the injury he sustained while doing a live SNL show that has cost him his career.    I could hardly put it down and read this book in 3 days.  I highly recommend this book to see what life is like for a stand-up comedian,  how hard driven you have to be to make it in show business and how frantic and surreal life can be as a regular on SNL and how lonely.  Great book.  If you like bios.  read this one.
