Oscar Isaac auditions to be the next Jon Hamm
Oscar Isaac auditioned Saturday Night Live for the role of Jon Hamm. It may have not been a facetious comment, but it was a very good audition. The actor is known for being the intellectual type and has a knack for making sketch characters come alive. While he was not cast in the role, the audition did set the tone for the rest of the show. He was unprepared for the camera and had a voice similar to Herb Tangier's. His hand movements were stiff, his voice was monotonous, and his stare was frozen.
Matthew Weiner wanted to cast someone fresh and without baggage. He also desired someone who could capture that period's essence. Isaac's performance was great.

George Carlin's inaugural appearance on Saturday Night Live
George Carlin's first appearance on Saturday night live is a milestone in the history of comedy. He was an influential comedian and host of the first sketch show. He hosted episodes from 1975 to 1984. At 71, he was killed on Sunday. While his death was unexpected for many, it was a fitting way to end a long and varied life.
In his first appearance on the show, Carlin performed a monologue comparing colonizing to football and the language of baseball. The show's YouTube page has the monologue. Carlin's first stand-up routines were more sketchy than stand-up material. Carlin invented characters such as Al Sleet the hippie weatherman and Carl K. Copout the councilman. He ran for president in 1968. Carlin changed the show’s image, experimenting with comedy that was not traditional.
The looming 1968 presidential election provided a backdrop for Carlin's comedy. He mocked the candidates on October 27, 1968, and then said the real crime in America was running for office.

How To
How do I choose which type of advertisement to run on television?
There are many factors to consider when choosing between traditional print advertisements and digital billboards, TV commercials, radio spots, or television commercials.
First, choose whether you want short-term or long-term results.
The ad must generate immediate sales and short-term exposure. In other words, the advertisement must make people immediately aware of your product or service.
This is a long-term strategy to increase awareness over a longer duration. This could mean weeks or months.
Next, decide between ongoing campaigns and one-off campaign.
One-off campaigns are usually used when you want to promote a single event, such as a new product launch or a holiday sale. These campaigns are generally very expensive because they require a lot of planning and preparation.
While they are less expensive, ongoing campaigns can be more effective. They involve running the same ad every week or month.
You must decide how much money you are willing to spend.
Either you can invest in large amounts or small amounts. An impression of small advertising costs more than one that is larger.
But, advertising with a smaller budget won't reach as many people.
