LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Saturday Night Live," which has made a living poking convention and corporate America in the eye, is cozying up with Starbucks. The show's "The Best of '06/'07" DVD will only be available for sale at the giant coffee chain.
"The world where you went to a store and bought a DVD, those stores are not there anymore," "SNL" creator-producer Lorne Michaels told The Associated Press, adding that Starbucks does "a really good job of marketing" CDs and DVDs.
Starbucks draws 40 million customers a week into its 14,000 worldwide locations, said Ken Lombard, president of Starbucks Entertainment.
The "SNL" DVD features "standout performances or great moments" from the past season, Michaels said, along with backstage footage and cast commentaries.
