Pro Reviews: Where Did I Go Right?
The most compulsively readable parts of this raw, heartfelt and personally revealing memoir chronicle the remarkable early days of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE and their tabloid late nights. It was the '70s. Bernie was Santa Claus, offering tickets to the big time, and funny people were practically falling from the sky. Jim Henson walked into his office with a bunch of puppets that he called 'muppets.' Kids were pouring in from Toronto's and Chicago's 'Second City' comedy groups, and Bernie knew who was funny. He'd send them to Lorne Michaels, or Lorne Michaels would send them to him. He could sign anyone. (In one signing, the client said that he'd heard many pitches before, but he signed with Bernie for his laugh.)
The Belushi chapter begins with the sobering image of Brillstein flying to Martha's Vineyard next to Belushi 'stretched out across two cramped seats in the tiny jet, wrapped up in a body bag,' then descends into eulogy mode. 'Everybody loved John Belushi. The problem was that he didn't love himself enough.' More revealing on the pernicious effects of fame is Brillstein's own confession of spiraling into self-destructive egomania.
