The Dual Life of SNL's Steve Higgins




Here's The Thing with Alec Baldwin show

Summary: <p>Steve Higgins has two jobs. At 4:30 every day, 4 days a week, Steve announces <em>The Tonight Show</em>, sticks around to play Jimmy Fallon’s straight man, and then runs back upstairs at 30 Rock to keep working on that week’s <em>Saturday Night Live</em>.  At SNL, he's in charge of the writers' room and, alongside Lorne Michaels, makes all the big decisions about the shape of the show, and the cast.  It’s a heady life for a kid who started a sketch comedy troupe with his brothers in Des Moines after high school.  Alec and Steve are real friends, and their conversation shows it, going deep into Higgins' origins as a comic, and into the inner life of <em>Saturday Night Live</em>.</p>
