It's no secret that one of the most desirable jobs in the party is also one of the oldest. Anyone who was an acting member of Saturday Night Live will tell you that they were often filled with anxiety when they put new episodes together for a week and One of the best bits in celebration of the anniversary "SNL 50" It was a digital SNL digital for that constant pressure. In fact, very well -known members of the cast who went to a bigger comedy careers outside the comedy "Sketch Late at night" fought with competition and pressure to put a live program every week. These include Andy Samberg and Bill Fooder, who not only joined the show at the same time, but also ended up intimidating each other during the audition process.

In one of the documentary episodes of "SNL 50: Beyond Saturday Night" by Peacock, Food and Samberg, every story tells a story that is well known for longtime SNL fans. Hooder recalled his audition:

"I came to the elevator on 30 rocks, and there was another man who had a tone of props and watched him go:" Oh, man, this man brought props. I did not bring props.

It turns out that Guy was no one but Andy Samberg, who also remembers this exact moment, but for him, the thinking process went a little differently. Samberg said:

"I had this big bag with props and wigs with me, because I was like," I show them all these characters with these amazing props I bought at the Halloween store. " And I remember looking at Bill thinking: "Oh God, he has nothing to do with him.

As we all know, Hooder and Samberg will both go to ground roles as acting members of the SNL, and each has influenced the comedy series of late night sketches in their own way.

Samberg and his groups from the lonely island (Director "The Naked Gun" Akiva Shafer and McGruber's director Jormone Tacone) would Instructions in a new SNL era thanks to the creation of SNL Digital ShortGamechanger for the network series that may have been on the verge of becoming a little more irrelevant because the digital age of comedy on the Internet was on the rise.

Meanwhile, Fader has become one of the safest impressionists of the show, delivering perfect staff by Al Pacino, Vincent Price, Alan Alda, Johnon Malkovich and many more. But he was also a great source for original characters like Italian host of the show Vinnie Vedeci, tricky, Geriatric local news reporters, Herb Welch, and the main update of the weekend stephone.

The fact that both of these comic talents advanced to "SNL" at the same time is a testimony to How did the sketch show adapt to the variable face of comedy Over the years while tapping talent at the same time. The fact that two comedians with many different approaches to mining laughter can set aside a niche for the SNL and join the ranks of the most memorable crew is just one of the many drops in the Lorn Michael Michael basket and his team's ability to find unique voices.

But SNL is not for everyone, and for every Samberg and Food, there are other comedians who simply did not do well with the comical sensitivity of the show or the pressure to be put on a live episode every week. It does not mean that they are not good comedians, as very short -term members of the cast went to comical greatness elsewhere. SNL is just one of the many ways that collects brilliance in comedy, and still does it today, even if every sketch is not home.
