The SNL standby line has a long tradition. It’s been a staple of the show’s audience for a decade. For some, the standby line is a fun experience; a bucket list item on a trip to New York. For others, it’s their life.
hundreds of her fans in search of tickets swarmed the NBC store inside 30 Rock, crowding all street entrances into the building to the point that people became trapped in the revolving doors.
Anyone listening to the podcast or camping out themselves knows waiting in the standby line is not for the faint of heart. With the exception of brief food and bathroom breaks, using a friend to hold the spot for the night will mean getting kicked to the back of the line. Once you’re in it, you’re there for the whole night.The bathrooms in 30 Rock close at 11 p.m., so anyone in need of a bathroom break before 7 a.m… good luck.
Though the elements can be tough, there is something unifying about the standby line. People watch out for each other by sharing tarps and blankets, and trading coffee runs through the night. One standby line camper who lived around the corner offered up his apartment bathroom to his curbside neighbors during the campout for Benedict Cumberbatch earlier this month.
“[Yang] was like, ‘Oh my God, I love what you guys do.’ And he turned to Chloe, and he was explaining to her what we do on our show,” Scott remembers. “He knew what we did. So that’s pretty cool.”As the sun comes up and NBC’s employees come around to hand campers reservation cards for dress rehearsal or the live show, Goucher and Scott recommend newcomers aim for the live show.
Nearly 70 people trailed behind them, winding through the NBC store. Even in such a good position, Darrow was still nervous. “I’m not holding my breath even still, because I don’t want to expect it and then be really disappointed,” she says.
