Many Don’t Make It
What about the performers who didn’t make it into the Saturday Night Live cast? While Nickelodeon’s Kenan Thompson is now the longest-serving cast member, Kel Mitchell auditioned for the show but was rejected.
Kevin Hart and Jim Carrey were the only other well-known actors and actresses to be omitted from the final list. Perhaps Jim Carrey would have been a good fit for this role?
There’s a Five-Timers Club
There are many challenges in hosting Saturday Night Live—you must be funny and confident in your monologue, and you must avoid making any mistakes on live television. There are some celebs who are better suited to this role than others. Members of the Five-Timers Club have hosted the show five or more times.
A list of the members of the Five-Timers club includes actors such as Steve Martin, John Goodman, Alec Baldwin, Tom Hanks, Chevy Chase, Danny DeVito, Drew Barrymore, Will Ferrell, Melissa McCarthy, and Bill Murray, among others.
