As Saturday Night Live marks its 50th anniversary, celebrate the genius behind one of television's most enduring cultural institutions — Lorne Michaels. In her definitive biography, Lorne: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Life, Susan Morrison — articles editor at The New Yorker — gains unprecedented access to Michaels himself, along with SNL's iconic cast and writers, offering a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the man who reshaped American comedy.
With razor-sharp insight and hundreds of interviews, Morrison reveals the warts-and-all portrait of Michaels: a visionary tastemaker, a shrewd businessman, a relentless perfectionist, and the enigmatic force behind SNL's star-making machine. From Will Ferrell to Tina Fey, John Mulaney to Chris Rock, the legends who defined the show open up about the comedy god who made it all possible.
Joining Morrison is comedian, writer, and SNL alum Bob Odenkirk, who once called Michaels "some kind of very distant, strange comedy god." Together, they'll dive into the obsessive brilliance of a man whose influence reaches far beyond late-night TV — and discuss the star-studded 50th-anniversary special that reminded the world why Saturday Night Live still matters.
Expect stories, revelations, and plenty of laughs in this unmissable conversation about the genius who forever changed the face of comedy.

Kate Winslet never stops.
From classic roles in films like Titanic to her indelible work on television in shows like Mare of Eastown, her acting is versatile as it is magnetic. Lee is the most recent chapter in an iconic career. Based on a true story, and following a pivotal decade in the life of American war correspondent and photographer Lee Miller (Winslet), Lee is a fascinating portrait the woman who captured some of the 20th century's most indelible images of war — including an iconic photo of Miller herself, posing defiantly in Hitler's private bathtub — in a full-throttle pursuit of truth for which she paid a huge personal price.
Following the screening, in a live taping of Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast, hear Winslet on her fascinating career and the making of the film — capturing Lee Miller's haunting story, how she prepares for her roles, stories from the set, and more.

Join acclaimed novelist and poet Victoria Redel with Sarah Jessica Parker and editor Adam Moss for a conversation about Redel's absorbing new novel, I Am You, published by Parker's literary imprint, SJP Lit.
In this gorgeously crafted historical fiction set in 17th-century Holland, Redel excavates the long-overlooked story of one of the few female Dutch Masters painters, Maria van Oosterwijck, and the complex relationship she developed with her maidservant-turned-apprentice, Gerta Pieters. Following these two women as they navigate the ranks of an elite, male-dominated art world, Redel weaves a story that Sarah Jessica Parker calls "spellbinding… and impossible to forget" — a queer romance for the ages, an ode to artistic creation, and an unforgettable love story set against the heady, sensuous backdrop of the Dutch Golden Age. Praised by novelist Michael Cunningham as "a stunning accomplishment . . . a story of ferocious insights into the human psyche and the drive to create art," hailed by author Benjamin Moser as "an unforgettable picture of the erotic, entangled, tragic nature of art itself," and lauded by novelist Melissa Febos as "a profound achievement," I Am You proves how art reshapes conversations on sexual politics, class, women's rights, and how we tell and retell our histories.
In celebration of its launch, hear Redel, Parker, and Moss discuss the novel — how Redel wrote a new kind of queer love story and tale of art history, what made Parker know that she had to share it with the world, and more.

Join Pulitzer Prize–winning Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Aaron Davis for a riveting conversation about their explosive new book, Injustice.
With unparalleled access to sources inside both the Trump and Biden administrations, they pull back the curtain on the Department of Justice — an institution meant to be above politics, yet shaken to its core by fear, dysfunction, and partisan warfare.
Leonnig and Davis take us inside the DOJ during and after Trump's presidency: how it was weaponized against political enemies, how long-serving employees were driven out, and how the department faltered in responding to the January 6 insurrection. They'll also examine the cautious approach of Attorney General Merrick Garland, whose reluctance to act decisively allowed critical investigations to languish — missteps with lasting consequences for the rule of law.
This is a rare chance to hear two of the country's most respected investigative journalists discuss what they uncovered, what it means for American democracy today, and why the stakes in 2025 could not be higher.
