Going Places: Jeremy Allen White's Ambitions Take Him Beyond Shameless
Dig into the aspirations of the celebrated actor Jeremy Allen White, renowned for his role in Shameless, who's aiming for the coveted stage of Saturday Night Live (SNL).
This 34-year-old thespian couldn't help but feel a twinge of pride when his buddy, Quinta Brunson, took the helm of SNL a fortnight ago2. Spurred by her stellar performance, White admitted that hosting the iconic comedy show would be a dream come true for him3. He confessed to 'Extra', "I've thought about it, yes. I grew up in New York, I love 'SNL,' I'd be honoured to be on the show and yeah, it was fun... My friend Quinta was on two Saturdays ago and she was [incredible], and so I went to go visit and watch and yeah, it's beautiful. I'd love to [host] - I'd be honoured."
As The Bear gears up for its fourth season next month, White, who stirs up the kitchen as chef Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto, is brushing up on his culinary expertise. Having attended culinary school and honed his skills in kitchens before the series commenced, he's now taking the time to perfect his craft before hitting the set4. He conceded that his culinary prowess has taken a backseat lately, but he's making it a point to brush up on his skills in preparation for filming.
Intriguingly, White grappled with the idea of portraying musical icon Bruce Springsteen in Deliver Me from Nowhere, since he's not a musician by trade. Nevertheless, when he received The Boss's blessing, he seized the opportunity with both hands and received encouraging words of support from Springsteen himself5.
The world eagerly awaits to see if Jeremy Allen White, known for his roles in Shameless and The Bear, will ever host Saturday Night Live, as he confessed to being interested in the opportunity. Despite not being a musician by trade, White showed his versatility by accepting the challenge of portraying musical icon Bruce Springsteen, earning the latter's blessing and support.
