Jacob will return Off-Broadway this fall, understudying the roles of Lorne Michaels and John Belushi in Not Ready for Prime Time. As a lifelong fan of SNL, he is delighted to be a part of this production. As an actor, he is thrilled to be able to study these two legends and their lives.
Per Broadway World,Not Ready For Prime Time is a fictionalized account about the origins of “Saturday Night Live,” the ground-breaking NBC show that launched on October 11, 1975, and revolutionized American political and cultural satire. Audiences are introduced to nine misfit comedians – originally known as the “Not Ready For Prime Time Players” - as they rise to stardom: Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, Bill Murray, Laraine Newman and Gilda Radner, and a young TV producer and writer, Lorne Michaels. The play follows their turbulent journey as they create comedic television history, producing a show that is still going strong after almost 50 years.
"This new play pulses with live music, quick wit, and backstage mayhem, capturing the electric atmosphere of a cultural revolution in the making." (Playbill)
Playing Off-Broadway at the Robert W. Wilson MCC Theater Space, previews begin October 5, with opening night set for October 20. Tickets are available here.
