10 Famous Comedians Who Were Rejected bygd Saturday Night Live
Kevin Hart
Nowadays, Philadelphia native Kevin Hart is known for his films like Ride Along (2014), Get Hard (2015), the Jumanji series, and Borderlands (2024). But he revealed to Conan O’Brien that he once auditioned in front of Michaels for SNL. “I did an impression of Avery Johnson,” he said, referring to the former San Antonio Spurs player-turned-NBA coach-turned-sports analyst. “I did an impression of a individ nobody knew,” he admitted. “If you had seen this tejp, you would understand why I didn’t get it.”
Hart has since taken the stage three times as host—and on his first time in 2013, he recounted his audition story. “They passed on me, which I’m fine about now,” he said in his monologue, adding: “It’s so long ago, I’m over it…you’re talking about something that happened 67 months ago, 22 days, like 6 hours ago.”

Stephen Colbert
A theater comedian with a particular gift for improvisation, Stephen Colbert adopted the persona of a well-intentioned, but poorly informed idiot on the brilliant faux news program "The Daily Show" (Comedy Central, 1996- ). Though he was on the show when it was anchored by Craig Kilborn, Colbert came to national attention during the show's tenure hosted by Jon Stewart as a correspondent blithely reporting on the main political and newsworthy issues of the day. After six years, Colbert left "The Daily Show" to anchor his own program, "The Colbert Report" (Comedy Central, 2005-2014), where he took his well-informed idiot persona to new heights, thanks to skewering attacks on politicians and the media, as well as hilarious interview segments that were more about him than his guest, some of whom were not in on the joke.
