when are auditions if you want to be on show?


I know you got to be discovered in some cases but are there auditions ever? how do i get in on the loop for auditions. i think i could write some good stuff. im a hour flight away for the big apple, can anyone give me a heads up for auditions?

i got some ideas for some sketches, im constantly thinking inside my head. message me maybe we can meet , would like to be payed for them though.

serious though, are there summer auditions or anything? i kinda want to bypass harvard and the talent scouts thing. im only getting older, if there are any auditions EVER could someone point me the right direction? it's a longshot, i am just getting ambitious older in age if you can understand, im cultured if that helps, Im up for the fight.

“Trump orange”

“You’re hired!”

ok, i was thinking up ideas at work washing dishes. like I always wonder whos spying on me when im pooping, so i think it would be funny if like china was spying on trump while takingit a duty.

another idea would be in 2020 like there could be a celebrity apprentice presidents addition and all the people running in 2020 , it would be like celebrity apprentice the tv show. it seemed more funny at work

or Why isnt there a dog at the white house? maybe a sketch idea with dogs but make it edgy somehow

Here's an article about the process. Doesn't sound like they have open auditions.

I imagine you really gotta be grandfathered in by this point. And you definitely gotta have club experience like the article points out. Just being funny don't cut it. If they did just hire people off the street, the show might actually be fresh and funny again.

I don't believe you audition. I think you have to be invited.

I could totally be Will Ferrell and keep a straight face and say my name is Clown Penis, serious, surprizing they got to hire so many Havard peeps for that type of low brow comedy

reply

Oh sorry. You're talking about the cast. I thought you meant the guests.

reply

I could be wrong but I think you also have to be invited to audition to be on the cast as well. I feel like they search for comedians who are starting to make a name for themselves but not quite household names yet.

I want to do that too! Since it's Halloween, I've got a good sketch idea. A werewolf and a vampire bite someone at the same time and as their chewing on the victim's neck, their mouths move closer and closer to each other ala the Lady and the Tramp spaghetti scene. They fall in love. Also, the victim becomes a cool vampire/werewolf hybrid who has to use separate bathrooms from normal vamps and werewolves.
