• Currently Whisper War By The Cab Bounce see related

  Saturday Night Live. It's the show that has outlasted wars, deaths, huge dips in ratings, and horrific tragedies in our country and world. And somehow, the show comes on every Saturday night, bringing us that little piece of humor that we really need after a week of work or other busy things in this fast paced world. To be able to make people laugh and give them that small glimpse of happiness must be one of the most rewarding jobs ever. If I had the chance, I would try out for that show in a heartbeat because I Love to make people laugh--comedy and laughter are great for the soul, and I firmly believe the healing power in it all. As I've heard news and entertainment stories about Lorne Michales possibly looking for another woman or two for next season, it just made me wish more and more that I could be one of those lucky few. And the good thing is is that I wouldn't go in to the audition empty-handed---my life experiences so far have given me some great material, ideas, and characters to use on a show like SNL (I'm not joking, I have so far a list of 4 different characters/sketches).

  Music has always been a BIG part of my life (besides my faith, family and friends), but I would have to say comedy and humor are right up there with it. It's why I love being a radio DJ, it's why I love doing skits for my church and community organizations, and it's why I would love to do SNL one day. Comedy can make a grown man come to tears because he's laughing so hard, and it can make the most bitter old woman crack a small smile. Just like dramas, music can help emphasize a comedy and push it to new limits, which is why for me, the 2 have gone hand-in-hand so many times. Yeah, I may play the song you requested as a shout out, or thrown out some cool music history, but I also do radio to make that one listener smile.
