9 28 1996 Peters 1st Show on SNL w Tom Hanks

-------------------------------
September 28, 1996 Peter Works His First Show And Season Premier On Saturday Night Live
With Host Tom Hanks Dancing With Tom In The Roxbury Scene
--------------------------------
As Peter Austin Noto's main biographer I interviewed Peter
during the summer of 2011 regarding the first show Peter ever worked on
Saturday Night Live

We are only 3 days away from the first show of the 2011- 2012 Saturday Night Live season
so I figured it would be a good time to share this

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Matt Snow:
What was it like Peter

Peter Austin Noto:
It was very exciting. for years I tried getting on Saturday Night Live but to no avail
Finally I took a workshop then run by Ryan Shiraki SNL's casting person at the time.
my audition was BANG I nailed it. this was May 1996 with only one more show left
for that season, Jim Carrey was the host for that last show.

At the end of the class Ryan Shiraki informed everyone that nobody would work the last show
of the season and by the time September came around he will have forgotten everyone.

Matt Snow:
How did that make you feel Peter.

Peter Austin Noto:
I was pissed, maybe one of the finest comedy performances I had ever performed
(wish I had it on video tape) and it will amount to nothing.

Well the summer came and went and I honestly just forgot about Saturday Night Live and was just
working on the future. a call came from my service letting me know Saturday Night Live has called
for work and please call them back.

I screamed with joy, fist pumps . yeah ...YEAH....YEAH...
may have been one of the most exciting moments for me business wise

Matt Snow:
How was that first show

Peter Austin Noto:
It has been almost 16 or 17 years so hard to remember getting there
Now back then before 911 it was much easier just to go around the SNL studios

I can remember being in the area where food was served and there was Tom Hanks
so like a spy im checking out the side of his head neck, I think we said hello he was just
like you have seen him on TV ...... a real nice guy.

Matt Snow:
What was next

Peter Austin Noto:
I was cast in more then one scene and I can not remember the 2nd scene but I was in
The Roxbury Scene and at the time was very popular scene with everybody dancing

and a real catch E song "What is Love..Don't Hurt Me" was one of the catch E hooks
Not sure of the name of the song but from time to time you still hear it.

Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell were always in the scene just remember having so much fun
and the excitement of a live show. the set is a little cool most likely keep everybody
awake and to me there's always a mint kind of smell to the studio, it's a good smell
but even today the minute I get off the elevator at 8H there it is ... sweet !!

Matt Snow:
Anything else Pete

Peter Austin Noto:
Yes yes yes, that first show as myself and the other actors in the scene are waiting to get
the signal to go on the stage all of a sudden I see Lorne Michael's ...and I can not believe it
and Im just staring again like that Tom Hanks once over

The next thing I realize all the actors have gone on the stage floor to get ready for the scene
and Im just standing there starring at Lorne Michael's so I just run onto the stage floor
plus I have no idea where I am going maybe I have 30 to 60 seconds to get my place on stage,
well it all worked out.

I know there are bits of tape on my website of me dancing and a few photo's but it was wonderful

To think Im still around working on Saturday Night Live 17 years later is amazing

Matt Snow:
Peter thank you for sharing this with me

Peter Austin Noto:
Thank you Matt Snow, wouldn't it be something if in another 17 years im still working on
Saturday Night Live

I imagine that would be a good thing...........?!-***
