Lorne Michaels Documentary Premiere

Director Morgan Neville's latest project, 'Lorne,' premiered this week, providing an excavation of the man who has shaped American comedy for five decades.

The documentary includes interviews with dozens of celebrities, including Steve Martin and Tina Fey, who attest to Michaels' inscrutable genius.

While the film is praised for its access and archival footage, some reviewers argue it serves more as a tribute than a critical biography.

The premiere comes as Michaels prepares for his eventual retirement from the iconic NBC show.
