Back when Jimmy Fallon was a no credit stand-up auditioning for anything he could get, he tried out for the short-lived 90’s sketch comedy series “The Dana Carvey Show”. Fallon had a bit, then writer on the ‘Carvey’ show, Louis C.K. remembers all too well, he said on the “Tonight Show” Tuesday night:

“…[Y]ou came in and auditioned for us, … and you were playing guitar, and you had these little Troll dolls [Fallon] ‘Hey, OK, here’s a song about a Troll doll if Neil Diamond sang it.’ And then you’d turn around and you’d wiggle your ass a little bit… I’m just saying what I saw.”

Fallon never got that gig, the ‘Louie’ star continued, “All the women on the staff were like, ‘He has to be on. That guy’s going to be a huge star.’ Me and Dino Stamatopoulos, a writer, were like, ‘Never. Never him. I think I actually said, ‘I will quit the show if you hire that kid…’ I was dead against you. Because you had all your hair; you were in shape; you were a young kid. And I was already kind of sweaty and balding, and I was depressed. It was pure jealousy… I really, really went to bat against you.”

Although Fallon couldn’t believe C.K. “squashed [his] dreams,” the two comedians joked good naturally about the experience. C.K. admits Fallon was “a superbly talented kid” then defended himself with the use of peculiar logic: Since the ‘Carvey Show’ was cancelled after 7 episodes if he had hired him Louis told Jimmy he’d have ended up “in some ditch, with your Troll dolls and your fine ass.”
