Lorne Unmasked: Morgan Neville Dives Into SNL's Quiet Maestro
TL;DR Summary
Morgan Neville’s Lorne is an intimate, puckishly playful documentary that reframes Lorne Michaels not as the mythic inventor of SNL but as the meticulous maestro behind the curtain—pulling back the curtain on his private spaces, recounting his tormented early years away from SNL and the 1980s revival, and showing how his ritualized control has kept the show vibrant while revealing the man beneath the myth.
