James Marsden recalled a doomed “Saturday Night Live” audition during an interview on “Live With Kelly and Mark” Wednesday. The actor said he and a friend answered a call for a “nationwide talent search” and ended up performing a spontaneous sketch in which they “clucked like chickens and just walked around each other.”
“They did a nationwide talent search and a friend of mine in my drama class, or whatever, who I used to do these humorous sketches with, said, ‘Let’s go down and audition for it,” Marsden explained.
“I think they made us do… It wasn’t even something like, ‘Create an interesting character,’ or whatever.
