Bill Hader: "I remember getting in the elevator for my audition and there was a guy next to me who had a backpack full of props and wigs and things, and I went, ‘Oh my god, that guy is so prepared, I have nothing, I have no props.’ And that was Andy Samberg. And Andy Samberg said he was looking at me going, ‘Oh, that guy has no props. He doesn’t need props.’ And that was the first time we met, was in that elevator."

In retrospect, it seems unbelievable that Jim Carrey didn't get hired, but it was probably for the best. He was amazing on In Living Color and his style was probably more suited for that show. In the long run, it was probably the best for his career as well. If he'd been hired for SNL, he probably would've been so popular that they might've convinced him to stay for like ten years, in which case, he may not have been able to start his phenomenal film career when he did.

Exactly while SNL is amazing for the greatest height of comedic career you can't do anything else once you get out. Most people have either done shows or movies that dudually didn't get much show light ( except Andy samberg, Bill hader and all the other late night hosts like Seth, Fallon and others) meanwhile Arminsen's portlandia wasn't known and Wiig usually did comedic movies like bridesmaid, Ghostbusters and others. So you can't really go into other genre.

I told her it's because on stage I am someone else. it's not me up there, it's my character( and mind you, I was always cast as the most outlandish part). she told me to just pretend that I was in a play and that my character has to make a class presentation. boom. my mindset completely changed. my point is even pros get nervous.

I'm glad he was able to be successful because I wish i could be on SNl but i probably wouldn't make it, but it's nice to see kevin hart not make it and end up being the most successful comedians of all time!!

Taran Killam as Brad Pitt doing the weather always kills me

i wish they showed Chris Farley's auditon

Whaaaat!? They could have had Colbert???? And Carrey? This shows that sometimes it is good not to get all jobs you want.

Some SNL fans call Carrey 'the one who got away.'

Gilda was adorable and so pure. 😍 Oh, and Dana "choppin' broccoleeeee!"

"...a scratch 'n' sniff that smells like failure and onions." If his voice sounds familiar, it's because that's a skinny and hairless Zach Galifinakis.

WTH 🤦🏽! Never would have recognized Zach. Thanks

I love that the two newest cast members at the time introduced this montage, nice touch.

It's pretty weird that they didn't hire Jim Carey, I can't really think of a bigger raw talent in comedy other than Eddie Murphy and even that's debatable.

Well, Lorne LOVES improvisation, and probably saw Jim as a frequent improviser.

Guy Incognito Lorne was not working on the show when Jim auditioned, which was 1980. That may be why he didn’t make it in. Also, had Jim made it, he would’ve been in the same cast as Eddie Murphy, so it might’ve made that era more balanced, honestly.

That Denzel Washington impression @ 1:26 was WAY too good!

1:04 that is a perfect Seinfeld impression

Seeing Gilda makes me tear up a little. Her and Madeline Kahn together. They were amazing.

JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I COULDN’T BE ANY MORE ATTRACTED TO SETH MEYERS 4:35 HAPPENS 💀

Oh my god. I had no idea so many sketches came from their own original characters. True talent.

I think people forget how talented Dana Carvey was. His audition was amazing.

3:27 before kevin hart thats Zach Galafanakis

Seth has a modest pride in his ability to do impersonations/impressions. You can usually see him do about 5 per episode on his late night show. Trump pretty much every night.

legends say..he is still choppin broccoli,,,

Anyone else notice that Colbert was using his "Waiters Nauseated by Food" sketch (which would eventually air on "The Dana Carvey Show) during his audition?

My son and I occasionally sing the "chopping broccoli" song. It's just so funny -- and it's weird that we know all the words lol. Dana Carvey is a genius. Watching these auditions also made me so sad to see the late, great Phil Hartman; who left this earth way too soon. I still miss him.

Omg, Gilda Radner was totally adorable!
