SNL...Your Thoughts...
- Thread starter Laser Battle

Uh, if I can remember correctly basically a doberman pincher attacks Will Ferrell's apartment. Will is scared out of his mind. He tries to defend himself by flinging his CDs at the doberman. Eventually the doberman chases Will to his back porch where Will is hanging on for dear life. I forgot how it ended. But I'd like to see that again.
I was going to post something concerning the following.
"Has anyone here auditioned for SNL? Anyone submit a writing packet? If so or even if not so, do you happen to know 1) How one gets an audition, or who to send said writing packet to?"
I'm curious like a cat! I'll post that topic as its own thread in "New York" as well. So post away there!

The problem with SNL is the same problem with a great college basketball program. Every season there's a lot of talent but some years it all seems to gel and they develop a special chemistry. In basketball they win a championship but can't repeat their success the next year because half of the starting line-up uses the team success to launch themselves to "the next level" and they enter the pro draft. Some players go on to remarkable careers and some fizzle without that special chemistry they once had. Meanwhile, their college team goes from champion to rebuilding project.
With SNL, I think, some people really hit their stride, along with the rest of the cast, and the show excels but it's hard to keep them together. They want to take their act to the multiplex. For some of them it's the right choice and for others they can never repeat that magic on the "next level". Then the show is forced to "rebuild" and develop a new special chemistry before the next movie career migration.
All of this is happening faster and faster now with the lure of big money and fame. It sometimes distorts rational thought and certain athletes or
"Not Ready For Prime Time Players" jump into the big pond before they're ready
and sink.

Yeah, that or a Little League team. The team has to be all rookies one year, then they become the veterans, then they graduate and it's all rookies again.
Perhaps in a few years, UCBT'ers will dominate the cast like Second City did in the original cast.
East coast!
***Note, with my Little League team, we sucked every year. Go Elks!
******Note, the Elks are now called the Moose. Go Moose!

I didnt laugh at the Dangerfield sketch, but I think it was more of a memorial, than humor based sketch. how horatio said at the end "i just wanted to hear those jokes one more time" i dont know, i thought it was nice.
the pubic hair commercial was hilarious. i just hope they dont over use it like they did with the huggies thongs commercial.
i think it was a smart move to have amy join tina on update after fallon left. they work well together, i like them.

if you submit writing you are sent a letter saying that they cannot use it. apparently they dont even read them.
you kind of audition for an audition and you dont know it. people from SNL will go to shows and watch and scope the place looking for talent. if they like someone they will offer them an audition, and then you audition infront or Lorne and a few others.

I took a Improv Comedy Class at college this summer and my instructor, who was a student at The Groundlings for 2+ years, and also founded a sketch comedy crew at the Comedy Store, that gained very good recognition. I remember him telling us how SNL contacted him a few times to audition, but he felt it wasn't the right time for him yet. Yea, he said that he remembers seeing the SNL people at their shows all the time.
