Joe Jonas Details “Crash and Burn” Audition for The Morning Show

Joe Jonas said he could hear other actors nailing the callback while he waited in a private room and later said he also bombed a Wicked audition.

  • Joe Jonas recently recalled a disastrous audition for the Apple TV+ drama The Morning Show, where the 36-year-old musician arrived early only to be placed in a secluded room where he could hear other actors "crushing it."
  • Placed in a "saddest room you can imagine" without headphones, the singer inadvertently listened as competitors auditioned for the role, causing him to "crash and burn" during his own attempt.
  • Brother Nick Jonas revealed the audition was for a love interest for Jennifer Aniston's character, Alex Levy; Kevin Jonas speculated the part was for a "right-wing-y podcast host guy" later played by Boyd Holbrook in season 4.
  • On their Hey Jonas podcast, Nick and Kevin Jonas discussed the audition, with Nick assuring his brother that "bad auditions happen" and framing the experience as a standard career challenge.
  • Despite their success in projects like Camp Rock and Devotion, both Nick and Joe Jonas recently confirmed they lost out on roles in Wicked, illustrating that rejection remains common for actors.
