"Saturday Night Live" is now in the 50th year of existence, which means that the sketch show will spend most of the 2025 warm, celebrating its inheritance broadcast. Some of this have been earned. Producer Lorn Michaels was in the right place at the right time to collect an epochal collection of comical talent in 1975, and it is astonishing to consider the show remaining relevant over 10 US presidency and God knows how much change in popular culture. Although many people still see live show, viewers who have other plans on Saturday night can wait until Sunday to read the episodes of draws on any number of web pages (Nothing better than Ethan Anderton's AT /film) and/or watch individual sketches on YouTube. SNL is not going anywhere - though, as a fan living through its lowest falls (especially seasons 6 and 11), I feel like it was never more mechanical than it is now.

Regardless of how you feel about the current state of SNL, it certainly did not lose its blow to identify finished comedy talents. One of the secrets of this continuous success is his audition process, which, once you are on the ruin of throwing, comes down to five minutes of displaying improvised skills. Everyone has to go through it, even if they are a little more ready for premiere than others. And then it's Amy Poller. Although she Whether Submit a five -minute audition, it was atypical for several reasons.

In a new Peacock series behind the scenes "SNL50: Out of Saturday night", Amy Poller revealed that her audition was "unique". Anyone who struck Lunu Yorkyork, Luna Salon or an exhibition Wednesday night "Stella"Was hosting the state Michael Showter, David Wayne and Michael Ian Black) in 1996 and 1997 knew Poller as one of the upright civil brigade Fab four. Everything he did was destroyed. Casting - The "late night with Conan O'Brien" brought her wisely to the show to play the repeated sketch of Andy Richter's little sister - which, given that the series is produced by Lorn Michaels, put it on the fastest Fast paths to SNL.

In "SNL50: Outside Saturday night", director Beth McCarthy Miller recalls that the audition of Poller is "formality". It was everything except the role. All they wanted to see was Pohler to be herself. Thus, she prepared an opinion work for "Weekend Update" for Shaquille O'Neal to be too big to play Pro basketball. Pohler delivered, but when he sees his audition of the documentary, you can see her trying to mentally extinguish the clip of existence. "Have you ever made a video for someone for their birthday and sent the wrong one," Poller asks. "That's how that audition feels like an audition. As I would like to prepare for audition. "

We don't have to see the whole audition, so I can't judge it as a piece of comedy. However, I saw Pohler in Stella more than once, and I am shocked that it lasted for four years for SNL to move and beat her into the show.
