Lorne Michaels, the executive producer of LNwCOB, also produces
many other projects, including "Saturday Night Live," and nearly all of
the spin-off projects from it. He was also the producer of the wildly
popular "Kids In The Hall" programs.
The musical guests are picked by Jim Pitt, a talent director. About
the type of music on the show, he says, "I'm pretty much left alone ...
I hear music. I like it. I put it on TV."
