The Big Picture: An American Commentary

Ranging from stiletto sharp to delightfully wry, Brown's satirical observations on the American way of life combine new material with some of his best work from his Saturday Night Live features. No topic or personality is safe from Brown's slings as he roasts one victim after another from Reagan to Santa Claus. Brown has gathered a number of loyal fans in his five years as a regular on SNL , and this collection shouldn't be a disappointment to them. In fact, it should appeal to any hip audience, regardless of political persuasion or familiarity with Brown's television work. Not an essential purchase, but one that will be popular among aficionados of contemporary social and political satire.
