Producers emphasize that impersonations can stand out during auditions if they bring an unexpected twist, as seen in Bill Hader's humorous take on Al Pacino.
The episode 'Five Minutes' reveals candid moments where SNL alums react to their own audition tapes, generating laughter and nostalgia about their journeys.
