Besides breaking ground every week as one of the original Not Ready for Prime Time Players on NBC’s Saturday Night Live, Laraine Newman bore witness to the changing music scene of the 1960s and the rise of stand-up comedy in L.A. in the early 1970s; studied mime in Paris under Marcel Marceau; and was a founding member of the groundbreaking improv comedy troupe The Groundlings—all before she was twenty-three years old. It was a heady experience, as you can imagine, and though SNL skyrocketed her to fame in 1975, Laraine struggled with demons on the inside, including a longtime drug problem that, coupled with lingering issues of self-doubt and some serious bouts with depression, led to an all-consuming addiction that nearly destroyed her five years after she left SNL in 1980.

Laraine talks about her struggles candidly, with great perspective and an unyielding sense of humor, in a new audio memoir, May You Live in Interesting Times, that not only takes you backstage of the first five years of Saturday Night Live (including a look at some of her favorite sketches from the show), but gives you a glimpse of the people behind the personalities of SNL, including the writers, musicians, producers, guest stars and, of course, her fellow Not Ready for Prime Time Players, including such memories as the time she made soup for her comedy idol, Richard Pryor, during the week he hosted the show; the time she farted in front of Prince; the night she was kissed by Paul McCartney; and the thrill Laraine got when she realized that Woody Allen and John Lennon were both big fans of SNL. Laraine also tells us how she found meaning in life for the first time once she became a mom, and how, in many ways, she really hit her stride as a performer when she became a voice artist. Laraine Newman will join us in our second hour.

May You Live in Interesting Times is available now through Audible.com/larainenewman. Laraine Newman also provides the voice of Peaches, the space monkey, in the new animated series Ridley Jones, which is available on demand on the Netflix Jr. YouTube channel.

This week’s program will also include a return appearance by Alexis Hunter, author of Joi Lansing: A Body to Die For, a memoir of Alexis’ life with singer/actress Joi Lansing, which began in 1969 and continued until Joi’s death from breast cancer in August 1972.

Known for her appearances in such movies and TV series as Singin’ in the Rain, Marriage on the Rocks, A Hole in the Head, Maverick, Perry Mason, I Love Lucy, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Adventures of Superman, and the famous opening tracking sequence of Orson Welles’ Touch of Evil, Joi Lansing became a star through the studio system. That same system, however, pressured Lansing into maintaining that image of physical beauty (to the point where she underwent breast enhancement surgery) and the fantasy of being the perennial object of desire of every man in the world. That image also impeded Joi’s personal life, to the point where she had to keep her intimate relationship with Alexis a secret.

Joi Lansing: A Body to Die For is not a tell-all book (although there are good stories about such stars as Burt Lancaster, Dan Dailey, and Frank Sinatra). Rather, it is a love story that also serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of silicon enhancements. Alexis Hunter joins us in our first hour.
