Oscar Isaac's audition for the next Jon Hamm
Although it may not have been a joke, Oscar Isaac's Saturday Night Live audition to play the next Jon Hamm wasn't bad. He is known for his intellectual qualities and his talent for making sketch characters seem real. He was not selected for the role but the audition set the tone of the show. He played a camera-unprepared character with a voice that was reminiscent of Herb Tangier's, stiff hand movements and a frozen stare.
Matthew Weiner, showrunner, wanted someone who was unburdened by baggage and fresh-faced. He wanted someone who could accurately capture the essence of the period. Isaac's performance was a great fit.
Sarah Sherman's "Camp Wicawabe"
Saturday Night Live had a major shake-up in preparation for its 47th season. Sarah Sherman was one of the new faces. Sarah Sherman, best-known for her wild live performances in Chicago, will be joining Aristotle Athari (and Sarah Squirm).
Born and raised in Long Island, New York, Sarah moved to Evanston, Illinois, to study theater. After graduating, Sarah began her career in Chicago and was a part the comedy community. She has performed all across the country since then. Sarah Sherman's standup shows have earned her a loyal fan base, while Sarah Sherman's humorous humor has made the world smile.
George Carlin first Saturday Night Live appearance
George Carlin's Saturday night live debut is a landmark in comedy history. He was a great comedian and was the first host of the sketch program. He hosted episodes from 1975 through 1984. He died on Sunday at the age of 71. Although it was shocking for many, his death is an appropriate end to a long and varied career.
Carlin gave a monologue in his first appearance on the program comparing colonizing with football and the language that is baseball. You can watch the monologue on YouTube. Carlin's stand-up comedy routines in his early days were more sketchy than stand up material. He was the creator of characters like Al Sleet (hippie weatherman) and Carl K. Copout (councilman). He even ran for president in 1968. Carlin shook up the show's squeaky clean image and made a bold move by experimenting with unconventional comedy.
Carlin's comedy was set in the context of the 1968 presidential election. On October 27, 1968, he mocked the candidates and said that the real crime in America was running to be elected.

How To
How does the TV Advertising Industry function?
Many companies are involved in the TV advertising industry. Ads should be relevant to viewers and not offend them.
The media buying firm buys airtime from networks. They then sell this airtime to the advertisers. This is where advertisers pay for the airtime. You can buy individual timeslots or the entire day.
Once the time is purchased, the media buying agency sends an advert to the network. The network shows the ad during the broadcast time.
If the viewer watches the ad, they may click on the link which takes them to the advertiser's website. If they do click on the link, then the advertiser pays the media buying company again.
The process continues until the advertisement is completed. At the end of the ad break, the media buying company collects its money from the advertiser and passes it onto the network.
Advertising agencies create ads and then send them to media buying companies. They also manage the creative side of the campaign.
They also manage the creative side and liaise with the client about the content of the ad. They are also responsible for the production of the ads and will communicate with clients regarding the budget.
They also oversee the entire campaign and keep track of everything.
