In honor of the final season of The Office being released on DVD, the show's producers have made available a highlight reel of some famous actors (some of whom were less famous then) auditioning for Office roles that ultimately went to someone else.
Hello, readers.
Hey Gawker readers,
Here's eight minutes of footage from Jimmy Fallon's audition on the Saturday Night Live stage. In it, the 24-year-old does an array of impressions that range from Chris Rock to Adam Sandler. It's actually pretty darn impressive.
Emboldened, one imagines, by the successful internet campaign to have actress Betty White host Saturday Night Live, famous cookie monster Cookie Monster has started his own SNL-hosting campaign with this audition tape, complete with a cookie Lady Gaga.
Here's the latest release from Sesame Street's YouTube channel—a tape of Cookie Monster auditioning to be a cast member on Saturday Night Live. Who knew that he had a passion beyond cookies?
These guys sure thought they knew what it would take to play a ninja in a movie but they didn't. Unfortunate and embarrassing for them, but awesome for us.

Hair is holding an open casting and it is plagued by crazies from far and wide who don't really want to get to Broadway, they just want attention. Thanks American Idol, now instead of auditions, we have the freak parade.
While the audition rounds used to be can't miss TV to gawk at astonishingly bad performances, it's grown tired this season. For the most part, they're staged, but this one was so good that it doesn't even matter.
Auditioning for the part of Ranger Jones, TJ Miller decided to use an audition tape that if it went right, he would get the role. If it went wrong, he would be hilariously tragically mauled by a bear.
We received so many responses to last week's night editors job listing that, to be honest, we need some help separating the interesting from the interested. So, we're starting an audition thread for anyone who'd like one of the jobs.
Here's the poster for the sure-to-be-classic upcoming low-budget Bernie Madoff biopic, dynamically titled "Made Off With America." Yes, they did use the bald eagle/flag clip art, thank you. The auditions are also dynamic!
