Overview
- Joe Jonas revealed on the brothers' Hey Jonas! podcast that he “crash and burn” auditioned for The Morning Show during a segment recorded and released this week.
- He said production placed him in a “private” room he called “the saddest room you can imagine,” where he could hear other actors auditioning and realized they were outperforming him.
- Jonas described the part he sought as a young news anchor who would have been a love interest for Jennifer Aniston’s character, Alex Levy.
- On the podcast he also named other failed auditions, including for Wicked and, in sibling banter, Spider-Man, which framed the story as part of his broader, mixed acting résumé.
- Clips of the episode prompted fan reaction and media stories that tentatively linked Jonas’s anecdote to a season‑4 role later played by Boyd Holbrook, but that casting connection remains unconfirmed and is based on interpretation rather than production confirmation.
