Hollywood audition culture is notoriously sexist — celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence (http://www.vogue.com.au/celebrity/news/+jennifer+lawrence+on+sexist+auditions+in+hollywoo d,44616) and Emmy Rossum (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/emmy-rossum-directing-equal-pay-auditioning-a-bikini-shameless-comedy-actress-roundtable-1013478) have spoken out about it before. And in a new sketch from Friday's Tonight Show, Jessica Chastain took another dig at the famously toxic process.
