Legend has it that Bruce Springsteen used to sing while sitting at a table playing Monopoly early on in his career. FTW!

On It's Too Late, the Cones are Built: Inside the Strange, Writer-centric 1977 SNL Book
SNL's Coneheads made sense at the time. I guess you had to be there when there was a bit of a post-1960s hangover in the air. A little indigestion from trying to absorb all the social changes that were happening so very, very fast. What better illustration than a family of super-intelligent/rational/humorless aliens to drop in (straight from the 1950s?) on the over-medicated Me Decade? At it's heart, The Coneheads were just fish-out-water flopping around in the blow blanketing Studio 54. Mepps!

On Inside the Almost 100% Successful 1985 Late Night with David Letterman Book
The greatest gift of Letterman's show may be Norm MacDonald's dead-on impression of Dave on SNL... and I'm not paying $500 bucks for any book that has no nudity in it. However, I would pay $500 NOT to see Larry "Bud" Melman naked. HA HA! HE HE! Eeeeeh... you got any gum?
