Steve Carell, Lisa Kudrow, Stephen Colbert Were Rejected by SNL!
Steve Carell, Lisa Kudrow and Stephen Colbert were all rejected by “Saturday Night Live.”
The show’s producer Lorne Michaels tells The Hollywood Reporter talking about the show’s 40th anniversary.
He says Carell, Kudrow and Colbert auditioned but were rejected. He said they were brilliant but he knew at some level it wasn’t going to work out.
And when he was asked which season he’d like to do over, he chose 1985’s season 11 which featured Joan Cusack, Robert Downey Jr., Anthony Michael Hall, Jon Lovitz and Randy Quaid most of whom were fired prior to season 12.
