REPORT: The Guy From AT&T's Talking to Kids Commercials Could Join 'Saturday Night Live'
It got lost in all the Ben Affleck news last night, but on Thursday evening, it was reported that Saturday Night Live was possibly adding John Milhiser and Noel Wells, two veterans of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. Deadline has now expanded its report to include Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney. Like Milhiser and Wells, Bennett and Mooney are also part of UCB.
While those four names probably don't ring a bell, you probably know Bennett's work. He's the guy from AT&T's It's Not Complicated series of commercials. You know the ones — guy in a suit talking to a bunch of kids who say adorably ridiculous things. Not only does this give Bennett a leg up when it comes to visibility, but it turns out that the director of those It's Not Complicated commercials is Jorma Taccone, former SNL writer, Digital Short icon and member of Lonely Island. I'm sure Taccone could put in a good word to Lorne Michaels for Bennett.
Head past the jump to check out a behind-the-scenes video featuring Bennett and Taccone talking about AT&T's It's Not Complicated series.
