[UrbScotty]

There is still some talent at SNL, apparently.

[bigwillq]

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

5. Maya Rudolph

[bigwillq]

6. Thanks for adding Mya

too bad I alreadt voted for "Other" but she was my vote

[KissMyAsscroft]

7. Amy Poeller...

Shes hilarious...totally underrated. If you dont know, shes the blond that doees a lot of "trashy white girls"....

Her and Tina Fey, definately...

[stanwyck]

9. Yeah! She's very talented

and should get more credit.

[TheDonkey]

8. Maya and Tina Fey are hillarious

I miss the old cast though, o~well.

[brainwashed_youth]

10. Tina Fey

Funniest female cast member since Gilda Radner

[kalashnikov]

11. None of them.

SNL has gone down the toilet. The skits are terrible and the actors are are even worse.

[TheMightyFavog]

37. At least..

They're not as bad as the Doumainian travesties of the early 80s.

[Bossy Monkey]

12. Don Pardo

Last night in introductions, he said, "Chris Kattan-- Parnell!" Much the funniest thing on the show in eons.

[Dogmudgeon]

26. I caught that, too

I thought it was a clever way of saying Kattan was going to be on the show.

Oops!

But I also thought that they would have an episode of Wake Up Wakefield allow Ms. Rudolph the chance to prostrate herself at the feet of Clay Aiken.

[Bertha Venation]

14. Gilda Radner.

Jane Curtin a close second, followed by Dan Aykroyd.

Sheesh. Youngsters. ;)

edit: misspelled Aykroyd.

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. GMTA...I didn't see your post until after I posted my vote for

Gilda. It just isn't the same show. :hi:

[Bertha Venation]

32. It just isn't the same world without Gilda, honey.

O8)

[TrueAmerican]

15. Bill Murray

followed by Gilda Radner.

[Dookus]

16. Didja'll know that

Maya Rudolph is the daughter of 70's singer Minnie Ripperton (of the "Loving You" high-note fame?)

[nini]

21. I didn't know that.. she must have been a baby when her mom died

sad for her.

[UTUSN]

17. How Could We Forget Will FARRELL? n/t

[Fenris]

18. Horatio Sanz

No one else on that show cracks me up as consistently as Horatio Sanz.

[UnAmericanJoe]

19. Will Forte and Fred Armisen

are the future of the show.

[Skittles]

20. Chris Farley

Gawd he was funny. *sniff*

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. Gilda Radner...those were the days..that show is nothing like

what it used to be.

[Dogmudgeon]

23. What about Rachel Dratch?

She usually gets relegated to play the frumpy-chick and old lady parts, but the scuttlebutt is that she's the best improviser in the group, and the best in many years.

She's also the Dratch in the critically-acclaimed two-woman comic act called "Fay and Dratch". Checkest thou it out!

Jeeze ... all a girl has to be is shorter than 5'4" and have dark hair, and she doesn't exist anymore!

--bkl
A Rachel Dratch fan, damn it!

[Mrs. Venation]

24. Gilda Radner Was The Best

Today's SNL cannot compare with the original cast. They were funny, inventive and they created a whole new genre on television. Gilda's characters were all outrageously funny. I really miss her.

Mrs. Venation

[Dogmudgeon]

27. It's time for another episode of NAME THE NEGROES!

There are not one, but TWO African-American players in this year's cast of Saturday Night Live.

Can you name them?

Even one of them?

Here's a Snoop-Dog-izzle hint: One is Fizzle Mizzle and the other is Kizzle Tizzle.

--bkl
Cheat Here
Edited to fizzle the lizzle

[UnAmericanJoe]

30. That would be

Kenan Thompson (Who does a great Cosby impression)
and
Finnese Mitchell (Who hasn't really done much to date)

and I didn't even have to cheat!

[Dogmudgeon]

31. Ding!Ding!Ding!Ding!

We have a Winner!

--bkl
Rudolph as Wanda Sykes and Thompson as Cosby at an award show ... savage (and I don't mean Fred)!

[Deja Q]

28. Chris Rock or Eddie Murphy

:D

[Terran]

29. Jan Hooks, Phil Hartmann & Nora Dunn

They ruled, IMO. Next to them, the original cast, especially Radner and Belushi, were the best. The current crop are pretty dull, IMO.

[mac56]

38. I agree.

The cast of Carvey, Dunn, Hartman, Hooks, Jackson, Lovitz, Myers, Nealon, and (god help us) Miller was every bit as funny as the original "Not Ready For Prime Time Players". Writing by Conan O'Brian had something to do with it, I think.

[arwalden]

33. Gilda Radner

[ronnykmarshall]

34. Gilda Radner!

[Shanty Oilish]

35. John Belushi. That's my answer and I'm sticking to it!

I watch it sometimes, it needs to be put out of its misery already. The old cast was super, but especially Belushi. I understood that man like a brother.

[Gringo]

36. I was gonna post on how much SNL has improved

Saturday's show was hilarious. They've finally come out of the post-911 "kiss Bush's ass" phase and are kicking some ass. They tore him a new one on weekend update. I haven't laughed so hard in quite some time...

[UrbScotty]

39. We're talking about CURRENT cast members, not former ones. (nt)
