I think they try and find you. I remember reading how they found Andy Samberg or maybe Bill Hader and he was referred to by one of the cast members.
So, start out small by having small comedic roles or doing local stand up. Or you can go for Second City which is where a lot of SNL members came from.

Most of the cast members have at one time or another been a part of the Groundlings or Second City troupes. Both offer classes in more than one city. Take them. If you don't live where they teach you can probably find a place that teaches improv where you live. Start there and then move to where your dream is.
