Book Description

A memoir by the legendary television executive detailing his pioneering work on Saturday Night Live, Sunday Night Football, the Olympics, the NBA, music videos, late night, and more. Think of an important moment in live TV over the last half-century. Dick Ebersol was likely involved. Dropping out of college to join the crew of ABC’s Wide World of Sports, Ebersol worked the Mexico City Olympics during the famous protest by John Carlos and Tommie Smith as well as the Munich Olympics during the tragic hostage standoff. He went on to cocreate Saturday Night Live with Lorne Michaels and later produced the show for four seasons, helping launch Eddie Murphy to stardom. After creating Friday Night Videos and partnering with Vince McMahon to bring professional wrestling to network TV, he next took over NBC Sports, which helped turn basketball into a global phenomenon and made history as the first broadcaster to host the World Series, the Super Bowl, the NBA Finals, and the Summer Olympics in the same year; it was Ebersol who was responsible for Muhammad Ali lighting the Olympic flame in Atlanta. Then, following a plane crash that took the life of his fourteen-year-old son Teddy and nearly killed him, he determinedly undertook perhaps his greatest career achievement: creating NBC’s Sunday Night Football, still the #1 primetime show in America. The Today show’s headline-making hosting changes, the so-called “Late-Night Wars,” O.J. Simpson’s Bronco chase—Ebersol had a front-row seat to it all. From Saturday Night to Sunday Night is filled with entertaining and illuminating stories featuring such boldface names as Billy Crystal, Michael Jordan, Bill Clinton, Jay Leno, Peyton Manning, Michael Phelps, and Larry David. (Ebersol even inspired the famous Seinfeld episode in which George Costanza pretends he didn’t quit his job.) More than that, the book offers an insightful history and analysis of TV’s evolution from broadcast to cable and beyond—a must-read for casual binge-watchers and small-screen aficionados alike.

Book Description

'Rosie is one of the great cooks of our time – so humble, brilliant ideas, wonderful cooking and writing you want to read over and over again... Rosie cooks the food you want to eat all the time – unpretentious and delicious.’ – Angela Hartnett Make Sunday night the best evening of the week, by perfecting the last, lazy meal of the weekend. Most of us want to forget that back-to-school feeling by kicking off our shoes and hunkering down with a soul-soaring supper – one that can be eaten with friends at the table, with book in hand by the fire, or in front of the TV. In less than half an hour of cheerful cooking, you can achieve Sunday night nirvana. Chef Rosie Sykes is an expert in the most comforting, nostalgic and heart-warming recipes, and here she gathers more than 50 of her greatest creations, most of them achievable in the time it takes to run a bath. Rosie makes Things on Toast that will make you weep with joy: Anchovy toasts with parsley and shallot salad, or Caerphilly with leeks and mustard; one-pot dishes to stop and savour, such as Stewed spiced butterbeans with tortillas and feta; easy egg dishes like Bacon and egg pie, or Bombay potatoes with a fried egg; delightful Remains of the Day, using leftovers from the roast – Chicken harira, Epic bubble and squeak; and if you just want a soothing cocktail and a snack, summon up your inner Sherlock with a 'Reichenbach Falls' or clink glasses with the Bloomsbury set while sipping a 'Woolf' and nibbling at Devils on horseback. All the recipes in The Sunday Night Book are simple and make clever use of store cupboard staples and leftovers. This is truly the best kind of cooking, the perfect way to extend the weekend and drift relaxed and contented into a new week.

Book Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the New York Times food editor and former restaurant critic comes a cookbook to help us rediscover the art of Sunday supper and the joy of gathering with friends and family “A book to make home cooks, and those they feed, very happy indeed.”—Nigella Lawson NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR • Town & Country • Garden & Gun “People are lonely,” Sam Sifton writes. “They want to be part of something, even when they can’t identify that longing as a need. They show up. Feed them. It isn’t much more complicated than that.” Regular dinners with family and friends, he argues, are a metaphor for connection, a space where memories can be shared as easily as salt or hot sauce, where deliciousness reigns. The point of Sunday supper is to gather around a table with good company and eat. From years spent talking to restaurant chefs, cookbook authors, and home cooks in connection with his daily work at The New York Times, Sam Sifton’s See You on Sunday is a book to make those dinners possible. It is a guide to preparing meals for groups larger than the average American family (though everything here can be scaled down, or up). The 200 recipes are mostly simple and inexpensive (“You are not a feudal landowner entertaining the serfs”), and they derive from decades spent cooking for family and groups ranging from six to sixty. From big meats to big pots, with a few words on salad, and a diatribe on the needless complexity of desserts, See You on Sunday is an indispensable addition to any home cook’s library. From how to shuck an oyster to the perfection of Mallomars with flutes of milk, from the joys of grilled eggplant to those of gumbo and bog, this book is devoted to the preparation of delicious proteins and grains, vegetables and desserts, taco nights and pizza parties.

Book Description

Sam Halloran's ambitious, a bit desperate, and a newly minted accountant. He's got a family to support and everything hinges on this job. But when he gets assigned to his first public company audit, he's unstoppable. In fact, he sees something no one else did. Fraud. Big-time fraud. And his audit client suspects Sam's onto them.That's when the walls start to close in.Suddenly, average-joe-Sam becomes modern-day-David, up against a giant that could crush him in an instant. He'll remind you a lot of Mitch McDeere in John Grisham's pioneering legal thriller, The Firm, a guy in so deep, so suddenly, he hasn't yet checked the exits. And now it's too late to run.Sam sees he's one of an army of young, far from savvy auditors paid to keep their heads down and not get too curious-and, as he quickly learns, none of them, including himself, are trained to uncover fraud. But the enormous fraud he thinks he's discovered just can't be overlooked. Unfortunately, Sam's clandestine investigation is noticed within the company he's auditing.They'll do anything to stop him. Even weaponize their own employees. First they try misdirection. Then seduction followed by blackmail. When that goes awry, who knows what's next?The first in a new series, SUNDAY NIGHT FEARS is as much psychological thriller as financial mystery that will keep readers on the edge of their seats as they root for Sam's success, then his safety, and when it comes right down to it, his soul. Because this audit has the potential to change him forever-in good, bad, or even fatal ways.

Book Description

A witty and irreverent look at the collision of two dangerous subjects -- live television and sex. "Sue, I have a question about vaginal odour." The young woman on the phone sounds earnest. On the television screen, the sixty-something host leans forward with the concern of an attentive great aunt, listening intently. "Yes?" It's late Sunday evening, and all across Canada, 300,000 viewers are watching The Sunday Night Sex Show, eavesdropping on this most intimate of conversations. "Well, I don't think mine smells very good, and a friend told me I should take a bath in vinegar" Without a second's hesitation, Sue Johanson exclaims: "What are you trying to do? Pickle it?!" And then she laughs, a warm, inclusive, non-judgmental laugh that tells the young woman on the phone that she's poking fun at the suggestion, not the caller. Viewers chuckle at the gag, and then settle back to listen to the country's best-loved sexual educator give a well-informed, honest answer to an honest question. For six seasons, Sue Johanson has been ruining people's Mondays by making them stay up late Sunday night. Sex sells, but it's really not the topic that keeps viewers tuning in. It's Sue. They love her. In this book, RJ Gulliver, Sue's long-time director and consultant, tells the stories behind the shows. Transcripts of classic phone calls (both funny and poignant), stories of the erotic toys that didn't make it on the air, what goes on behind the cameras, and Sue's own story fill this book that will make you laugh out loud, and give you a new appreciation of Canada's favourite sex-ed teacher. It also includes a chapter written by Sue about the best herbal remedies to common sexual problems. In Canada, if Saturday night belongs to hockey, Sunday night belongs to Sue.
