This book is a collection of interviews of all of the important people who have ever had anything to do with the show. Writers, cast members, producers, network executives, etc. Everyone who was there when they were first putting together this new show to the biggest names who've been on the show (with the notable exception of Eddie Murphy) all have something to contribute to this book.
