SNL Music Performances — The 1970s. I’d name all the artists featured but I really don’t have the patience.
Ahh, yes, the always enjoyable list makings… This is a rather popular topic and I have as of yet found a list that hasn’t made me want to punch things for one reason or another. So I thought to myself “Shit! I’m gonna make my own list…with blackjack…and hookers” and so I am here. This is my Top 20 Greatest SNL Cast Members of All Time. As a disclaimer, this is MY list so there is quite possibly choices that you may not agree with. That is par for the course. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this list.
Honorable Mentions: Al Franken, Adam Sandler, Kevin Nealon, Jane Curtin, Andy Samberg
20) Joe Piscopo (Helped keep SNL afloat with Murphy)
19) Ana Gasteyer (Probably one of the most underrated cast members of all time)
18) Darrell Hammond (Stayed on too long, but impressions were fabulous)
17) Amy Poehler (Would be higher if this was a Meyers/Poehler tandem)
16) Billy Crystal (One year but hell of a year)
15) Tim Meadows (Stayed on a while, took some time to break out, but I always liked him as the straight man reacting to shit. Great deadpan)
14) Mike Myers (Wasn’t as high on him as others but good characters)
13) Bill Hader (Only current cast member…could easily break into the Top 10)
12) Dennis Miller (helped revolutionize the Weekend Update desk which helped influence Politically Incorrect and The Daily Show in some respects)
11) Jan Hooks (She was great but never really talked about)
10) Tina Fey (Snarky, smart, and witty — gotta love the combo)
9) Chris Farley (Farley had crazy energy and was fun to watch)
8) Will Ferrell (Annoys me when he’s over the top, but he can play it all)
7) John Belushi (One of the originals, can’t go wrong with them)
6) Gilda Radner (Showed girls can be funny and she wasn’t afraid to make an ass of herself)
5) Dana Carvey (Great impressions, great music talent, and just a damn good cast members)
4) Dan Aykroyd (One of the originals, could do most of it. Loved his shady business man characters)
3) Bill Murray (Bill Murray is one of those guys whose funny without even trying. Sheer respect on that front. He can make almost anything funny)
2) Eddie Murphy (Dude saved SNL and had amazing talent. Too bad he’s turned into such a suckass actor in suckass roles…but hey, whatever pays the bills)
1) Phil Hartman (I will not argue this. I’m sorry but I refuse to argue this one. Hartman was the man and I still get angry whenever I think about his murder. I’ll write a more eloquent post about him soon)
So that’s my Top 20. And if you try to ask me where’s Norm MacDonald or Kristen Wiig, you may not get a very friendly response because I find both of the insanely overrated (And I actually don’t mind MacDonald, I just don’t think he was that great). However feel free to comment and such :) Oh and if I forgot anybody feel free to tell me, I’m sure I forgot someone.
