  IN Depth with "The PIT'S" Ali FarahnakianAli.Pensive.jpg

"I was about to graduate from college in '89 and I had what I can look back on as an epiphany, watching the show (Saturday Night Live); home for Christmas, not knowing what I was going to do with my life and then realizing I want to be on this show at some point."

"I thought why not just write a letter? So, I wrote a letter to Lorne (Lorne Michaels, SNL, Executive Producer) saying the show has meant a lot to me, what do I need to do to be a part of the show? And, I guess it meant enough to him that he had someone call me." Full Article: Part 1
