Joe Jonas Says He 'Crashed and Burned' Audition for The Morning Show

His May 27 podcast confession shows how celebrity podcasts can turn private casting setbacks into rapid entertainment coverage.

Overview

  • Joe Jonas said on the Hey Jonas! podcast that he bombed an audition for a young anchor role who would have been a love interest for Jennifer Aniston on The Morning Show.
  • He described being placed in a separate waiting space he called "the saddest room," where he could hear other actors auditioning and felt they were "crushing it."
  • Joe also named other high-profile failed auditions, with brothers Nick and Kevin joking about projects such as Spider-Man and Wicked during the episode.
  • A clip from the podcast drew broad fan reaction on Instagram, with listeners urging him toward rom-com roles and reacting to the list of parts he did not land.
  • The story underscores how casting for prestige TV is highly competitive and how celebrity podcasts now quickly convert private setbacks into widely reported entertainment news.
