In London, you get your butt to class on time Picture Quote #1

I think the process of ‘SNL’ is still pretty formal. You make an audition tape, your agent sends it in, they watch people’s tapes, and then they invite people to perform at a comedy club in Los Angeles or New York. But I don’t know how much actual scouting they do online Picture Quote #1

I made a conscious effort to focus on television so I could stay in Los Angeles, so I wasn’t on a location all over the world doing movies Picture Quote #1
