On Sunday, "Saturday Night Live" celebrated 40 years on the air with a star-studded, three-hour live television event.
Longtime fans got a rare glimpse into the making of the show with a supercut of the audition tapes featuring dozens of cast members, including Dana Carvey, John Belushi, and Gilda Radner.
A few familiar faces who never made it past the audition — including Zach Galifianakis and Stephen Colbert — also make appearances.
