Jim Carrey has hosted SNL multiple times, but what many don?t know is that he also auditioned for the show.
Carrey?s most famously failed SNL audition took place in the early 80s, and was preceded by an ominous event.
Carrey told the Vulture that someone was about to jump from atop the NBC building upon his arrival.
I got out of the car in the parking lot, and there was a person trying to work up the guts to commit suicide on the building on NBC in Burbank, and I walked into the building not knowing whether he did it. All the new crews were gathering around the building. I went, ?That?s not probably a good sign.

According to Uproxx, Carrey apparently feels he wasn?t meant to fare well in the audition.
Carrey went on to do ?In Living Color,? which pushed him to breakout status and movie superstardom.
