“I borrowed some money and produced this show. Apparently , on his plane ride home from New York, he came up with the idea for The Pee-Wee Herman Show. “I was so bitter and angry, I thought, ‘You better think about doing something to take this to the next level,'” Reubens told the San Francisco Chronicle. Paul Reubens-aka Pee Wee Herman-was a Groundling at the time and auditioned for the “SNL” but was passed over in favor of comedian Gilbert Gottfried, who was supposedly friends with a producers. In 1980, Lorne Michaels was replaced by Jean Doumanian, who built a famously abysmal cast that year. Galifianakis tried out for SNL at the end of the 1999-00 season and instead was hired as a writer, not a cast member. Eight years later, he landed the role of Dan in “Roseanne,” and became a celebrated screen and stage actor-and one of the most famous “SNL” hosts in history, having helmed the show 12 times. Goodman admitted in Live From New York that he tried out for “Saturday Night Live “ in 1980, but was passed over because he didn’t have a strong enough resume. Kudrow has since expressed gratitude that she didn’t get it. In the early ’90s, the show was looking to add several new cast members, and Lisa Kudrow-then part of L.A.’s famed comedy troupe Groundlings-was suggested to Lorne Michaels, who flew out to see her and fellow Groundling Julia Sweeney perform. He swore he had no hard feeling, since it was a long time ago. The comedian hosted “SNL” in 2013, and admitted in his (amazingly impressive) monologue that he auditioned for the show but didn’t make it. The “Parks and Rec” funnygal admitted to The Guardian that-despite interning at SNL in 2005-she auditioned in 2008 and never made the cut. He wasn’t ever on the show, but he did voice one half of its famous animated sketch “The Ambiguously Gay Duo.” Steve Carell was the other half. Take a look at the 13 celebrities below, and let us know who you think would have killed it on “Saturday Night Live.”
We did some digging of our own, and came up with other stars who got the boot from the famous sketch comedy show. “There were lots of people who you’d see how brilliant they were, but you knew on some level that it wasn’t going to work,” Michaels said, also revealing Jim Carey was a no-go.
