Ithaca College Los Angeles Program

Thank you for hosting the LASAC student networking event! Over 200 students from over a dozen schools came together to mix and mingle. ICLA had a great time!

Hooray for Hollywood! We made it!

Great day for a hike.. to the Hollywood sign! Beautiful weather and beautiful views. And the payoff was worth the effort!

ICLA welcomes the Spring 2025 class with our student mixer! Definitely not an easy start to the semester, but we’re looking forward to a fun and productive spring!

I gave an interview with NPR's HERE & NOW about the book I co-wrote with Steven Ginsberg, THE SNL COMPANION (looking forward to tonight's season 50 opener with host Jean Smart).

50 years of SNL: Coneheads, presidential impressions, musical guests and more “Live from New York it’s Saturday night!”: It’s been 50 years since that trademark line and the original theme music of Saturday Night Live debuted on NBC.

THIS WEEK: The second half of our podcast on our new book - "The SNL Companion: An Unofficial Guide to the Seasons, Sketches and Stars of Saturday Night Live." How does SNL reflect American culture over 50 years? What are some of our (and your) fave sketches, weekend update hosts, moments and memories over all those decades?

ATTENTION ICLA GRADS - I have a few students whose internships fell through at the last minute (to no fault of their own). So if you are in the market for an intern or know someone who is, one student is looking for anything that is NEWS or SPORTS related and the second is interested in anything MUSIC related. They are both excellent students who are anxious to get some experience on their remaining time out in Los Angeles. You can email me at: [email protected]. THANKS!
