Perhaps the most famous and even the wealthiest comedian not to be hired by “SNL” isJim Carrey.
Well, it was an unfortunate instance of timing.
Long before he became a household name, Carrey auditioned for the variety show in the 1980s.
But when he arrived for his audition, all was not right on the NBC lot.
“All the new crews were gathering around the building.
I went, ‘That’s not probably a good sign.'”
So does “SNL” head honcho Lorne Michaels regret not hiring Carrey when he had the chance?
Well, sort of.
“I wasn’t at the Jim Carrey audition,” Michaels has clarified.
Or maybe they were right who knows?
No one gets it all right" (viaIndieWire).
