Saturday Night Live Auditions

Saturday Night Live is one of the longest running shows on television. It premiered back in 1977 and has been on the air ever since. Every week Saturday Night Live has a guest host, a musical performer and several skits by the acting troupe.

If you are interested in SNL auditions, you should start the process by finding a talent agency to represent you. After you have representation, you should develop a portfolio of your work which should include several comedic skits.

Although Saturday Night Live does not hold auditions for news talent and does not accept tapes from actors, they do send talent scouts to comedy clubs and other venues across the country who are looking for new talent. If they like you, they will set up an official Saturday Night Live audition in their studios. SNL producers joke that wearing a short skirt won’t help when you go on a Saturday Night Live audition-especially if you are a guy!
