In a recent interview, John Goodman reflected on how badly he did during his SNL audition in the ’80s.
Goodman said,
“In 1980. It’s not that I had any material to show or anything good to do, I just knew they’d hire me just because I’m a nice guy. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever done in front of people in my life. I wrote something about 15 minutes before I went over there, and oh God, it was awful.”
He continued,
“It used to be the favorite thing I’d do every year. They always made me feel at home. You’re with a bunch of smart and funny people, and it just feels great.”
