He's a tastemaker, a mogul, a withholding father figure, a genius spotter of talent, a shrewd businessman, a name-dropper, a raconteur, the inspiration for Dr. Evil, the winner of more than a hundred Emmys--and, essentially, a mystery. Generations of writers and performers have spent their lives trying to figure him out, by turns demonizing and lionizing him. He's \"Obi-Wan Kenobi\" (Tracy Morgan), the \"great and powerful Oz\" (Kate McKinnon), \"some kind of very distant, strange comedy god\" (Bob Odenkirk). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLorne\u003c\/i\u003e will introduce you to him, in full, for the first time.
