The DeMarco Brothers, Kyle (Chris Kattan) and Sean (Chris Parnell), are wannabe dancers who audition for various musicians and singers. Their obvious lack of talent does not seem to dim their enthusiasm nor their belief in themselves.

Basic Information

Kyle and Sean DeMarco have a dream. They believe they will one day be back-up dancers for a major recording artist in his or her music video. They know this in their hearts. Unfortunately for them, they are terrible back-up dancers. But they are enthusiastic, and they know, if they keep trying for their goal, they will eventually succeed. Too bad nobody else sees this in them.

Each of the DeMarco Brothers sketches involves the brothers auditioning for another music star (usually the musical guest of the week). As a result, they have been seen auditioning for some of the biggest legends in music, including Sting, Britney Spears and Paul Simon. They typically arrive for the auditions in their signature powder blue shirts featuring lyrics from the artist's songs, often rewritten into inspirational messages about their own talent. Their dance routines are interpretative and literalist—they tend to act out the lyrics of the song. The artists are never impressed and tend to cut the brothers off in mid-routine. In one appearance with Bon Jovi, it was revealed the brothers were born in New Jersey.
