The Midnight Show

by Lee Kelly, Jennifer Thorne

A whip-smart coming-of-age novel about trying to be a funny woman in the male-dominated world of comedy and what happens when the most promising female star of her generation disappears.

In the 1980s, women were not supposed to be funny. But when a group of college improv comedians gets the chance to join a new late-night show, it’s Lillian Martin who stands out. The new show was called The Midnight Show and it would air every Friday night, live from New York, and change the landscape of TV and comedy forever.

But first it would change Lillian’s and her friends’ lives. The show is a runaway hit and the cast is thrown into the spotlight. Suddenly, they’re skipping the line at the city’s hottest clubs and posing on the cover of Rolling Stone. Lillian, in particular, seems destined for big things. Until one night, she vanishes, leaving behind nothing but a pair of shoes in the middle of the Williamsburg Bridge.

Forty years later, Lillian’s disappearance has never been solved. And when a budding journalist starts asking questions, she stirs up decades-old drama and secrets some would rather stay buried.

A page-turning story of fame and friendship, The Midnight Show takes readers behind the scenes of the cutthroat world of comedy in 1980s New York and asks if the rush of getting a laugh is all it’s cracked up to be.

4 stars

Oh, how I love books told in the mixed media format, and this I’m one was perfect for it. Madeline Cohen is a freelance writer on assignment to Rolling Stone and is writing a definitive article about Lillian Martin, a female comedian who rose to fame on the first two season of “The Midnight Show” (“Saturday Night Live.”). The book is made up mostly of Madeline’s interview transcripts, plus a few articles, etc. Lillian became a sensation then died mysteriously. Now, forty years later, Madeline wants to look to see what really happened by interviewing co-stars, BFFs, producers, family members and so on.

I thoroughly enjoyed this and if you love reading back stories about SNL I’ll bet you will like it too. It also takes a no-holds-barred look at the way women in comedy were treated in the 80s and it’s not pretty. I hope this does well.

Was this?? Absolutely amazing?? I kinda just went in assuming I’d get some good plot twists and move on but this was incredible! I did kinda call the plot twist but that’s okay. Suspense novels (this is general fiction I believe, but there’s a large amount of suspense and mystery in this one) surrounding famous people are a subgenre of book I remain obsessed with

[Olivia Swindler · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am a huge SNL fan and when this book was described as DAISY JONES for comedy, I couldn’t pick it up fast enough. This book was nearly impossible to put down. And while there was a mystery element, what kept bringing me back was the interpersonal relationships. I loved the way this story was told, it added to the suspense and helped me understand the characters in a new way.

I won this book in a Goodreads give away, and I was so happy to read and review the ARC!

THE MIDNIGHT SHOW by Lee Kelly and Jennifer Thorne is a complete masterpiece. It explores women within the world of comedy, with a backdrop of a Saturday Night Live-esque show.

This novel was SO captivating. It's told entirely in mixed media format, primarily with interview transcripts. Every conversation was pieced together brilliantly and allowed for the story to unfold.

The mystery surrounding Lillian's disappearance, New York City in the 80s, and the cutthroat world of women in comedy made for an enthralling story that had me in a chokehold from start to finish.

The novel also explores the dark sides of fame, toxic relationships, and complicated friendship dynamics.

The ending was 100% satisfying and made the journey that much sweeter!

THE MIDNIGHT SHOW reads like non-fiction--fans of SNL, improv, and sketch comedy are sure to love this book!

****Many thanks to Netgalley and Crown Publishing for an advanced eArc in exchange for my honest opinion****

2.5 Stars. UGH I wanted to like this! The premise of this story was so promising to me. Unfortunately it was the way the story was told by interviews and a collection of articles that dropped this for me.

Don't get me wrong I don't have an aversion to stories told with a different medium but the interviews jumped around far to much for me to really grasp anything told about Lillian but I know ALOT about the other cast members.

I really think this would have benefited from Lillian being the dominant POV. That way we get to see the snippets that were hidden away from other cast members. Then bring in the interview questions ONE person at a time.

It was FAR to much back and forth between the cast members of The Midnight Show. I learned a DIFFERENT side of Lillian then I would have with her POV but was it really the side I wanted to know? No. I almost would have appreciated it beginning with Madeline being in Nice with Faye, Gina and Sally and walking back through the events fading to a different POV chapter describing the situation the 4 are talking about. I understand the little twist for the ending but to be honest I sort of guessed at 70%.

Bobby, Stevie, Brook, Phil and Aaron I could CARE LESS about. Catty, boring, didn't offer any solid story telling and steeped in jealousy.

Sam was mid, neither here nor there.

Gina and Kent were the stars of this show by FAR. Kent was probably my favorite to read about, he was funny, self deprecating at times but was a loyal friend with a temper that comes in handy at the most opportune times. I love how protective he was with Lillian, the big brother/little sister relationship was easy to imagine.

Gina was a SPITFIRE the entire book but that is what absolutely breathed SOUL into this story. She came off so salty at times and I rolled my eyes but she was a living breathing character. She had such heart and really was the big sister and mother for Lillian. I did learn quite a bit about Lillian through her POV's. Gina truly deserved the happy ending she got. I caught myself smiling.

I feel like Bobby deserves a nickname.. Bossy, Manipulative Bobby. Ugh I could feel the creepiness through the pages. Well written and rotten. I could smell the expensive cheap smelling cologne wafting off the pages, BUT he was a well written antagonist.

I love everything that Lee Kelly and Jennifer Thorne has come out with but this just missed the mark for me. If you are interested in reading a different view of the comedy scene and how improv and sketches became more prominent in the entertainment world you might just like this one!

The Midnight Show refers to a late night comedy sketch show (think Saturday Night Live) and takes place at the dawn of the 1980's. The story focuses on the forty year unsolved, mysterious disappearance of one of the shows original cast members, Lillian Martin, and is the focus of a cover story being written by a tenacious writer for Rolling Stone. The format the story is told is through interviews, newspaper clippings, and other various forms of correspondence.

I am old enough to remember the nascent years of Saturday Night Live, so I couldn't help but compare some of the cast members and skits to those in this story. I admit that I didn't get what was enigmatic or humorous about Lillian. She didn't seem particularly remarkable and like most forms of art, comedy is subjective as well as being a product of its zeitgeist. However, her brand of comedy just came across as absurd. Albeit, I think that was its goal. As we learn about Lillian and those who held close, personal relationships with her, we see its effect on her comedy as well as her mental health.

The writing style was clever, but I felt too many voices were speaking at once. For example, if an interview was taking place with one person in a coffee shop, there would then be parts of interviews with five other people (who weren't at the coffee shop) featured in the same transcript. The authors were adept at giving each character their own unique voice and personality. However, the format jumbled all the voices together.

I also can't say that I was satisfied with the conclusion. Lillian wasn't a character I was rooting for, nor did I feel any compassion for her. If anything, I felt apathetic in the end.

I give this book two and a half stars rounded up to three. The writing was good, but the story just wasn't for me.

I wanted to love this. I so wanted to love this! And I will say that I really loved the ending, so that bumped up my star rating from when I was reading it, but as a huge comedy fan with a love of the history of Saturday Night Live, a fictional oral history of a show that is almost a 1:1 just didn’t keep my interest. It was kind of the same problem I had with DAISY JONES AND THE SIX. I would rather read an oral history with real people, a fictional take just doesn’t work for me. I spent way too much time trying to figure out who was supposed to be who, and then when real people would pop in it would just make me more confused. But I truly admire this authors for taking this on and clearly their love for Gilda Radner, even though they kill her, really does shine through.

Lillian, the (I’m assuming!) Gilda stand-in disappears during the height of her fame in the 1980s, starring in the second season of “The Midnight Show,” a live comedy show from NYC. In 2023, a Rolling Stone reporter decides to try to uncover what happened to her by talking to her costars, the crew of the show, and her brother. As we learn more about how the show came to be and what has become of that famous first cast, we slowly learn more about Lillian and what may have happened.

I think that this format and the subject matter presented this way just wasn’t for me (I also really didn’t like ROMANTIC COMEDY, another book set at a fictional SNL) so please take all of this with a grain of salt. Like I said, I was surprised and delighted by the ending and I think this could work for a lot of people. But I think I just prefer the real thing.

[Maria Marmanides · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is well written and moves fast. The format is engaging and meant to engage. If this were nonfiction, it'd be juicy. Kelly presents the world of late-night comedy as sharp (like cutthroat sharp, no pun intended), glamorous, and messy in a way that’s genuinely fun to read.

But ultimately, the fictional oral-history format didn’t work for me. Instead of feeling immersive, it made everyone feel like disembodied voices. I struggled to picture who these people were outside of their soundbites, which made it hard to care about what was happening to them.

For example, the book never made me mourn Lillian. We’re dropped straight into the mystery of her absence without ever being shown her presence. It could've started with a guest essay, an obituary of her written by one of her former cast mates, something so I know who she was vs. having kind of the same reaction as the Rolling Stone editor being pitched this story. Is there anything here?

I don’t know who she is to comedy, why she matters, or what the world lost when she disappeared. The format asks the reader to do a lot of emotional work upfront, and for me, it never quite earns that investment.

I understand that her elusiveness is part of the point. But mystery only works when you first give the reader a reason to care. I needed a hook. I needed a sense of who Lillian was before I was asked to grieve her.

I realized I’d rather read a true oral history with real people. In fiction, this style felt more distancing than intimate.

Great momentum, great concept. I just wanted a deeper emotional anchor.

It’s the early 1980s. Lillian Martin is on top of the world as the breakout female star of “The Midnight Show” (TMS), a sketch comedy show much like “Saturday Night Live”. But then she suddenly goes missing. Forty years later, comedy writer and journalist Madeline Cohen is writing a piece about her and investigating her disappearance. In the process she gets to know Lillian’s friends and cast mates, and maybe she’ll even figure out what happened to Lillian.

“The Midnight Show”, described as “Daisy Jones and the Six” meets SNL, was one of my most anticipated reads of 2026. And it did not disappoint!! I absolutely devoured this book. It was so easy to get into and it easily held my attention right up until the very last page. The story is told through interview transcripts, excerpts from Lillian’s old journals, correspondence between Madeline and her interview subjects, etc. This felt fresh to me and kept the story free of fluff.

If you’re an SNL superfan like me, you’ll recognize that Lillian is created in the image of Gilda Radner, and other characters are also stand-ins for real life characters.

Yes, it’s kind of a mystery, but you don’t have to be a fan of mysteries to get into it. There are so many good twists and turns and surprises through the book as Madeline gets to know the TMS crew.

This book was literally everything I hoped it would be. Highly recommend to readers of all stripes!

THE MIDNIGHT SHOW by Lee Kelly & Jennifer Thorne

I love novels that weave in SNL or SNL-like shows into the narrative (looking at you, ROMANTIC COMEDY). I’m not even much of a fan of SNL, but I think it has a predictable structure with little evolution other than the cast over the past 50ish years. So it’s a solid reference point.

This novel is told in an oral history format, which I predict will be excellent on audio, even though I read it in print. The oral history discusses the early seasons of THE MIDNIGHT SHOW, a sketch comedy show, how women face an uphill battle in comedy, and the tragic death of one of its first cast members Lillian Martin, who plunged to her death into the East River during the third season. Forty years after her death, a journalist is trying to get to the bottom of Lillian’s death and, in the process, find out more about Lillian’s co-workers/suspects all against the backdrop of an iconic sketch show.

➕ The oral history format worked really well here (much like THE FAVORITES).
➕ Great reference point to use an SNL-like show that really captured how women were tokenized and used for men’s devices within comedy.
➕ While the mystery wasn’t the centerpiece here, I found myself playing Nancy Drew trying to figure out whodunit.

This novel had my full attention, and I read it in a day.

Thank you to NetGalley and Crown for an Advance Reader Copy. My review is completely my own.

I honestly don’t even know where to begin with this book. If I’m being completely honest, I probably never would have picked it up if it hadn’t been for NetGalley. I originally chose it because I wanted to dip my toes into the ARC world and I’m glad I did.

There were so many elements I loved, but the writing style immediately stood out to me. I’ve never read a novel formatted like an interview before, and it completely captivated me. Seeing the story unfold through multiple perspectives made the reading experience so very immersive. I found myself piecing together clues, analyzing personalities, and feeling almost like a detective.

The story follows a reporter documenting what it meant to be a woman in comedy during the 1980s, with a particular focus on comedian Lillian Martin. What truly impressed me was how powerfully the authors portrayed an abusive relationship — not from within it, but through the observations and perceptions of those on the outside looking in.

The twists and turns throughout the narrative were absolutely chef’s kiss. Just when I thought I understood the full picture, another layer revealed itself. I also truly loved getting to know each character on a deeper level (Love you Gina and Kent!!) I have no critique- no notes. 5/5 ⭐️

This book surprised me and it’s exactly why stepping outside your usual reading comfort zone can be so rewarding.

Thank you to NetGalley and Crown Publishing for this ARC e-copy of The Midnight Show by Lee Kelly & Jennifer Thorne.

Told exclusively through transcripts of interviews and other found media à la Daisy Jones and the Six, this book follows the reporting of a Rolling Stone writer/failed funnywoman who is determined to discover what happened to the late comedienne Lillian Martin, rising star of The Midnight Show.

There are plenty of obvious parallels here: The Midnight Show = Saturday Night Live; One Astor = 30 Rock; Townies = Groundlings; and plenty more. Because of the pre-established setting, it’s easy to imagine these memorable characters interacting within it. It was hard to put this one down. The format and the story were addicting and easy to read. And the ending? Definitely surprising!

If you like Saturday Night Live or HBO Max’s Hacks, this is a book for you. It explores the dark side of the stand-up and improv comedy worlds, and the treatment of women in the ‘late night’ industry. But throughout, there is hope. This is an awesome book that deserves the hype of anything written by Taylor Jenkins Reid, who I also read and admire. If you’re looking for something a little different, give this book a shot.

Rating: 2.75

The premise here is undeniable catnip: A Rolling Stone journalist investigates the disappearance of Lillian Martin, a cast member on a fictionalized version of SNL (The Midnight Show). Unfortunately, the interview-style format acts as a barrier rather than a hook.

The structure is disorienting; without clear narrative anchors, it is often impossible to tell if characters are sharing a scene or speaking in a vacuum. The character voices lack distinction and bleed together. The only unique voices are Brooke (the bitch) and Bobby (the enlightened narcissist). Even Gina, a primary suspect, stands out only by sheer volume of dialogue rather than personality.

Crucially, the book fails to make the reader mourn the victim. We are dropped into the mystery of Lillian's absence without ever establishing her presence, making it hard to invest in the outcome. The pacing drags, leading to a "truth" that lands with a thud. The conclusion offers a strange, contradictory moral—protect women, but also force others to dim their light? It feels out of step with the rest of the story.

Bottom Line: A chore to read with a payoff that wasn't worth the work.

[Andy Krahling · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow -- I wasn't expecting this. I loved this behind-the-scenes look at a fictional 1980's New York-based live comedy show - think "Saturday Night Live." Employing interviews, articles, and transcripts to tell the tale, focusing mostly on a group of young performers from improvisational comedy in Boston. Having come of age in the 80's, I can attest to much of the stuff the authors got right -- it was a different, crazy time. The inclusion of real and made-up stars and musicians was really well done, and added to the realism portrayed.

Once I could figure out the characters, I was absolutely invested in the story. Each character was differentiated extremely well -- I have to give a hats-off the cast member who repeatedly called the interviewer by a different (wrong) name every time -- I laughed EVERY time.

All and all, I was hugely satisfied by this, and I was unhappy when it ended.

Will I read more from the authors? Hell, yes.

I received a complimentary copy of the novel from the publisher and Net Galley, and my review is being left freely.

[Mindee Bacon · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fictional exploration into the world of late-night comedy with probably some stereotypes that ring true, this mystery was page turning and fascinating.

The story revolves around a comedy skit show in New York City involving several young comedians. The men and women of the cast are being interviewed several years later after one of their cast mates mysteriously vanishes from a bridge in Lower Manhattan. Murder, not out of the question, makes every cast member and acquaintance a suspect.

The entire novel is written in interview form, which was helpful in keeping the characters straight. I kept googling to see if this was based on true events. I enjoyed this as much and if not more than a similar “interview” that I read, Daisy Jones and the Six.

Thank you NetGalley and Crown Publishing for the advanced reader copy, that is set to be published April 2026, in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed this book and was surprised by the ending which I did not see coming, which was refreshing. #NetGalley #TheMidnightShow #CrownPublishing @CrownPublishing

[Barb Fecteau · Rating 5 out of 5]

I LOVE COMEDY!! I was so excited about this and, frankly, the format (interviews with people who knew the late great Lillian Martin) kept me from engaging right away. This seems crazy to me because I love that format - lots of narrators and points of view. But about a third of the way in, the story got me and I became obsessed. There is, at the top, a mystery - what happened to Lillian on the bridge and whose fault is it? But there is also stories of friendship, toxic relationships and bad decisions. In addition, there is some great commentary about women in comedy. They can be funny, y'all, and if you disagree with me, let's get drinks and I'll make you laugh so hard you'll wet your pants! But this look at, let's just admit it, SNL in the 80s is an excellent ride. Slow burn to start, for me, but I couldn't put it down in the second half. And for those who need a resolution, I will assure you, you won't be left hanging. Such a fun ride!

[Sherry Chiger · Rating 5 out of 5]

At first I thought "The Midnight Show" would be a fun, fast, dishy read—and it is. But it's also more than that: a look at gender and power imbalances, the importance of friendship, and the inevitability of changes wrought by success. Which makes the book sound ponderous, but it's most definitely not. Much of that is due to how well Lee Kelley and Jennifer Thorne capture the voice and psychology of each character who is telling their version of the story. The characters end up revealing just as much, if not more, about themselves than they do about Lillian, whose absence is the core of the story. What's more, each character is utterly realistic and memorable—quite a feat!

This book was a solid 4-star read for me. It’s reminiscent of Daisy Jones & The Six and tells the behind-the-scenes story of a popular fictional sketch comedy show called The Midnight Show.

The story takes a nostalgic journey back to the 40th anniversary of cast member Lillian Martin’s passing. I was particularly drawn to the vivid portrayal of early 1980s New York City. The narrative was well-structured, with distinct sections dedicated to reflecting on Lily’s life and insights shared by various cast members who had known her.

The Midnight Show is a fictitious novel about a late-night comedy sketch show (a la SNL). It’s a unique, mixed media format that focuses on Lillian Martin, improv comic in the 1980s, who disappears one night at the height of her career. A journalist is trying to uncover the story of Martin’s disappearance and bring awareness to the female comics career.
I found this book so refreshingly unique. The way the story develops keeps the reader engaged and searching for answers. The ending is also a satisfying conclusion. Overall, The Midnight Show has it all - drama, comedy, romance, and mystery. This will be the talk of the town, and I highly recommend it.

I LOVED this book. I was utterly immersed in this world that, very cleverly, blended fact and fiction. It was a tightly constructed and unputdownable story about women in comedy and the precarious nature of fame/notoriety. It inspired me to pick up the many books detailing the early days of SNL and also to think deeply about people in the public eye. How carefully legacies are crafted and how they are probably not based on truth, Fame is truly a monster. It's a tough thing to do to weave together a web of characters in this way...I can't wait to recommend this book to anyone who will listen.

A journalist, Madeline, is exploring the life of Lillian Martin, a sketch comedian popular for her run on The Midnight Show prior to her sudden disappearance.

Madeline interviews those closest to Lillian, her former cast mates and boyfriend and finds herself unraveling the truth of who Lillian was and what happened to her leading up to her disappearance and presumed death.

The authors weave together a varied cast of characters and their personalities help tell the story of the past. Highly intriguing and reminiscent of SNL, this is a great TBR if you enjoy comedy and other books that have an interview style narrative.
