I feel like the best in no particular order were something like:

Belushi, Gilda, Eddie Murphy, Hartman, Farley, Ferrell, Molly Shannon, Kate McKinnon, Bill Murray, Dana Carvey, Jan Hooks and maybe throw in Hader, Samberg and Sandler plus Norm for Update.

Would be an interesting exercise to pick which singular skit is the best for each of the above. Not sure it would be possible. Hell, even agreeing on the best character for most would be futile.

My favorite Farley sketch was one I don't think I've seen since it aired in 1993. It was called Relapse Guy, and Lorne made sure all traces of it were erased from existence. Farley kept relapsing, causing increasingly terrible damage to himself and others. Now that I type it out, it probably hasn't aged well at all.

Another one like that, and maybe from the same episode, was a game show called Date Rape, where contestants had to judge whether date rape had happened or not. It was a different time.

The Relapse Guy

Is It Date Rape?

Hartman is the SNL GOAT for me - as multiple people have said, he elevated every skit he was involved with, either performing or writing.

He was also stellar on late-night appearances, especially Letterman. The 1994 appearance at 1h18m in this vid is my favorite. I am still legitimately sad we were deprived of many more years of him doing his thing.

Another good one that rarely gets replayed is the Tales of Little Women sketch where Farley falls through some ice

 It’s hard. It’s either Belushi or Eddie.

I think it’s Eddie.

- Better movie career.

- One of the best stand ups of all time.

- More memorable sketches on SNL.

- Saved SNL at 19 years old without much help. 

 

Arguable on the better dancer. Belushi had the better music career. The Blues Brothers started as a gag, but that was a real band by the time the movie came out. 
 

Belushi has had the benefit of going out young. 
 

The Farley-Belushi anecdotes are haunting. What a tortured kid.

yikes. Shannen Doherty was in both... were both those sketches in the same ep?? wow. that was some writer's room that week  

Early 90s. When addiction and date rape were funny.

I think Eddie is the number 1.  He has to be. When he hosted in 2019, before COVID, it was so great. They should have him host once a year.

 

Without Eddie, the show would have ended in the 80s.

I tend to agree, if we're only going on what they contributed while on the cast. But I recognize that I'm more biased towards Hartman's work because I've seen more of it than I've seen of Eddie Murphy's, so I'm ready to admit that I'm wrong once I've sat down and seen as much of Murphy's SNL work as I've seen of Hartman's.

I still can't get over the Randy Quaid snub.

Is Quaid still alive?

Yea he's in Canada I think ranting on social media about Hollywood's libs.


Dude done fried his brain on conspiracy theories. I think Cousin Eddie is smarter than Quaid is these days.

Also shows off how great Mike Myers is.  Too bad we lost him to all his Shrek money.  

Mike Myers as Elon Musk was awesome. He nailed it.

CouplaBeers and A Lil Bump was funny.  

And the midday news segment was the hardest I’ve laughed at an SNL sketch all season. Holy shit that was genius.

Been pretty good tonight. Tate McRae seems pretty shitty and Jane Wickline continues to befuddle me.

Please Don’t Destroy was awesome. As usual.

Wickline is the worst cast member in the history of show. Mom was Lornes’ PA right? 
 

They need to retire Yang as JD Vance. It’s just never worked at all.

Very strong first act and Update until Wickline showed up. 
 

Shane was obviously working on a new special in the monologue. Mostly worked. The band; however, was not amused.

Honestly, I thought he delivered. SNL hasn't pushed the outside of the envelope in a while. If I'm uncomfortable about laughing, it must be funny.

monologue was just awkward, he either can't read a room or doesn't care to.

I think he read it perfectly. The set up for the question was perfect call back. I think he was nervous uncomfortable as his bit and it worked. Like I said, SNL hasn't pushed the envelope in a while.

Mike Myers nailed Elon’s look and most of his mannerisms, but he sounded like Paul McCartney. An easy, easy fix in rehearsal if somebody had the balls to give Myers notes/if Myers was at rehearsal.

I thought all of the sketches were funny. And thank goodness somebody is finally trying to make fun of Shelby Foote.

I guess the joke is that they dress him up in a suit and a beard, and then he doesn't even attempt an impersonation?

The joke is a gay guy is playing him - I think.  I’ll allow it.  It doesn’t bug me that much because Vance is so fucking boring there really isn’t an impression to do.  Kinda like Gerald Ford.

I believe the joke is Vance is a closeted gay, and Yang is gay and impersonating him. It feels like an inside joke that Yang and the staff thinks is hilarious. It just hasn’t translated to the audience and I don’t think it ever will. 

Agreed on the eyeliner. They need to do something.

Did it start with Melissa McCarthy portraying Sean Spicer? I think it pissed him off to be played by a woman, so SNL started doing that.  Aidy Bryant was Ted Cruz, Kate McKinnon has been Giuliani and Lindsey Graham. Now a very gay Bowen Yang is JD Vance.  SNL is just trolling. But it has to be funny.  Yang as JD just doesn’t have it.

B- for Myers on the Musk Impression (too British not South African enough)

Here's an A+

That was so good I couldn't make it two seconds.
