Jimmy Fallon`s SNL Audition From 1998ish. I`m no comedian and I know I`d tank if I had to audition for Lorne Michaels, but THIS got Fallon the SNL gig? Weaksauce!

Agreed. Back in 1998 this crap was hilarious. BUT I still think this audition is sucky/boring/lame..but is it any mystery to ANYONE why he got hired? He may be a goofball, but Lorne saw that he was a semi ATTRACTIVE goofball. His "look" at the time was perfect. He invented the whole "I just woke up" hair-do. he was slim, young, good hair, not bad to look at...he was hired for his looks. the fact that he could do some decent impressions was an afterthought.
