Emma Stone Once Auditioned For Nickelodeon’s ‘All That’
This weekend,Emma Stonereturns toSaturday Night Liveto host the late night sketch show for a third time. However, she almost starred in an entirely different sketch comedy show much earlier in her career, one that would have had her crossing paths with a certainSNLcast member at a young age.
While appearing onThe Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the 28-year-old actress revealed that she auditioned for the Nickelodeon kids sketch comedy showAll Thatwhen she was 12 years old. Even though she didn’t end up getting the job, her audition sounds rather entertaining.
Find out what happened when Emma Stone auditioned forAll Thatafter the jump.
The cheerleader character she created wasn’t anything that could have been turned into a recurring one, but then again, most of the characters onAll Thatwere one-note jokes that just repeated themselves. That happens onSNLoccasionally too, but there’s usually enough variance in the jokes themselves that it doesn’t feel quite as tired. However, that possessed babysitter sketch sounds simultaneously horrifying and hilarious, and it’s impressive that she came up with those characters on the spot at just 12 years old.
It’s probably for the best that Emma Stone didn’t make it into the cast ofAll That, because her career ended up blossoming in quite a fantastic way after her breakthrough performance inSuperbadin 2007. Before that she actually had a role over at Nickelodeon’s chief competitor, The Disney Channel, where she appeared in a single episode ofThe Suite Life of Zack and Cody, starring Dylan & Cole Sprouse, the twins who played the kid in Adam Sandler’sBig Daddy.
But if Emma Stone had starred inAll That, then her hosting duties onSNLwould have made for a fun reunion with formerAll Thatcast member Kenan Thompson. Maybe one day they can get together and create a “what if” scenario where Emma and Kenan play Randy and Mandy, thechefs who love cooking with chocolate.
Even though we never got to see Emma Stone onAll That, at least we get to see her onSaturday Night Liveagain this weekend. In the meantime, enjoy her quick rendition of Gilda Radner’s iconic character Roseanne Rosannadanna from theSNL40th anniversary special:
