Watch the short documentary Live from New York...
The 12 minute documentary, primarily shot over one cold night on the streets of Manhattan, is a look into the life of a man named Louis Klein who has spent the majority of his Friday nights since 1975 waiting in standby ticket lines for Saturday Night Live. Both light hearted and touching, it focuses on him as a person, as the leader of a New York sub-culture, and as a staple of the institution that the show has become.
