SNL has been a springboard to movie stardom ever since Chevy Chase and John Belushi, but there have been an equal number of promising late-night players who truly proved not ready for cinematic primetime. (Even Red Sox fans wrinkled their noses at Jimmy Fallon’s Fever Pitch.)
Sudeikis has leading man potential, but can you imagine him starring in romantic comedies or Judd Apatow-style projects? Do you plan to see Bounty Hunter, PopWatchers, and if you had to bet now, where do you see Sudeikis in five years? Vacation or Johnny Dangerously?
Um, no they didn’t. “Fever Pitch” was a good movie.
Jason is no Piscopo. He’ll be a leading man in no time. I’ll definitely catch Bounty Hunter when it comes out.
I met Jason Sudeikis at an SNL after-after party and he was the nicest guy ever. I summoned the courage to approach him and play the part of the adoring fan and he couldn’t have been more gracious. I told him he was awesome on SNL and “carried the show.” He laughed and said he appreciated it – such a great guy. All I know is I’ll be sure to support him in any and all post-SNL endeavors!
Am I the only one that thought Fallon was good in Fever Pitch?

Yeah, if you wanted to trash a Fallon movie, you should’ve DEFINITELY gone with “Taxi.” (Just unwatchable.)
Anyway, I think Sudeikis has a great chance to succeed. In addition to being great on “30 Rock” (some say he was the Michael Clayton of Cleveland)e’s proven to be in invaluable utility player on SNL. He’s one of the few people who can play the straight man and the wacky character equally as well.
I see his film career as similar to Chris Parnell’s, y’know a character actor type who when you see him you go “that’s that guy from Saturday Night Live”
Firstly, I love me some Floyd. I would have fleed to the Cleve for him.
Secondly, Sudekis has star quality and talent. Like @Ceballos said, he can play the straight man and be wacky, which is something even Chevy can’t do. He’s handsome and has serious charisma. I hope he does well!
I think he can do anything. you can’t really compare him to those 2 because they were expected to open the movie. If Sudakis is #3 or lower, he has a long career.
I think you are all forgetting the biggest star to come out of SNL. Have you heard of him? oh, Eddie Murphy. Regardless of Imagine That.
More of a David Spade or Jay Mohr. Occasional movie roles and a lot of TV work.
Red Sox fans hate Fever Pitch because Fallon is a Yankees fan in real life and he was on the field when the Sox won the World Series in 2004!
Sudekis surprised me on 30 Rock. Didn’t know he was such a good actor! Love him and think he just needs the right role/movie, like Ed Helms from “The Office” knocking it out of the park in “The Hangover.”
