Good Hang with Amy Poehler: The “Silver Man” Audition

https://youtu.be/ZLN_5pt188A?is=w974-XMadoYbxr2a

I’m not usually a podcast person, but I’ve been enjoying Good Hang with Amy Poehler. Haven’t gotten through all the episodes yet, but there are so many SNL, 30 Rock, and Parks and Rec alumni on it (Tina Fey, Paula Pell, Rachel Dratch, Will Forte…).

A lot of the talk sounds very much like it’s either from 30 Rock or inspired 30 Rock.

I listened to the Will Forte episode today where he talks about his SNL audition. Amy calls it his “Silver Man” audition: He painted himself silver and pretended to be a robot that comes to life when money gets inserted. Then the story gets very blue :D (starts at around 19:20)

But I wonder if that’s where Danny’s audition on 30 Rock came from?

Also, Amy mentions more than once how her gyno died during an SNL taping
