The internet can’t stop arguing about who is the greatest SNL cast member ever, and I’m here for the feedback
Saturday Night Live It is one of the longest running TV shows. As the sketch comedy series is currently in its scope The 48th Season Welcome to the Chief Hosts and Musical Guestsyou can’t help but look at the sets of previous generations and wonder who is the best cast member SNL since when. Well, the internet is heavy on goats, and I’m here for all the entertaining comments.
And you see that Saturday Night Live It’s had 163 comedians over its 48 years, how do you pick who’s the greatest cast member of all time? Since there is no magic mirror to tell us the answer, I think social media should. SiriusXM’s Eric Alper handled it Twitter To ask the greatest fan SNL Was ever the cast member, the comments were pouring in. Some made a list like one Twitter userwho made the best seven:
Eddie Murphy Dan Aykroyd Kristen Wiig Kate McKinnon Dana Carvey Will Ferrell Gilda Radner
This list is on point! Eddie Murphy becomes a star Saturday Night Live. During his tenure, he played such notable characters as Mr. Robinson, Jumpy and the Velvet Jones. Dan Aykroyd was part of the first SNL film, Blues BrothersAnd Co-starring with John Belushi. Dana Carvey and Will Ferrell were also a total riot. And we can’t forget the ladies SNL Like Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon, who made audiences laugh between the mid-2000s and 2000s. Also, the late Gilda Radner was a true icon known for playing eccentric characters like Roseanne Roseannadanna and Emily Litella. These seven people really did help SNL What is it today.
Another Twitter user yelled at Phil Hartman and did so using a selfie of himself Unfrozen Caveman Advocate. take a look:
Many fans agreed with this choice, and it’s easy to understand why. Phil Hartman was one of the best artists in the world SNL. Other than inciting laughter in audiences by playing the Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, he also delivered one Best presidential impressions Through his take on Bill Clinton. Hartmann, who died tragically in 1998, left behind a legacy of laughter that we will always remember. Regarding the GOAT discussion, there is also a reply Emphasizing that Will Ferrell should be mentioned more as he has arguably had the most success SNL:
Kind of shocking I don’t see this guy’s name all over this thread. It’s all personal, of course, but I don’t think any SNL cast member has had more success in every aspect of sketch comedy than Will Ferrell. — RS pic.twitter.com/o7rp3jWrrsJanuary 16, 2023
Will Ferrell brought his A-game as a Spartan captain, and broadcast legends Harry Caray and Alex Trebek on Celebrity Danger! George W. Bush and Dr. Beeman. And who could forget drawing the legendary bell? He had versatility and left a lasting impression on audiences with almost every character he played. else tweet Guaranteed to feature a specific ‘larger than life’ actor:
People who say someone other than Belushi must be too young to remember. larger than life.
This Twitter user’s frustration makes sense since John Belushi made a serious teaser SNL From 1975-1979. (Maybe this generation is not very familiar with it?) Other than participating in the tournament Blues Brothers With Dan Aykroyd, Belushi impersonated a number of celebrities such as Joe Cocker, Marlon Brando, and even Elizabeth Taylor. We also can’t forget his work on the timeless classic “Little Chocolate Donuts” commercial. True, they no longer make comedians like Belushi. But another user He prefers to think of the best male and female cast members from this latest generation:
Male? Kenan Thompson. Slaughter easily every time a female? Kristen Wiig / Amy Poehler tie
While this may sound like a skewed list, the responses to this post agree that Kenan Thompson is one of the funniest cast members Saturday Night Live She has today. Previous all of that The cast member has been at it for a while and explained it It has been SNL For a long time Because stand-up comedy shows are rare today. Meanwhile, Kristen Wiig and Amy Poehler played hilariously memorable characters on the show, tooAnd Both of them had successful film and television work. In a unique post, another Twitter user mentioned little-known performer Nasim Pedrad:
Although not the best out there, I thought Nasim Pedrad was a really versatile performer who was underappreciated for how much she brought to the table. pic.twitter.com/zbmDetTXFkJanuary 17, 2023
in 2014, Pedrad decided it was over SNL So you can follow the role in Mulaneywhich was created by the former SNL Author John Mulaney. Unfortunately, the show was canceled after one season. However, this was not the end of Pedrad’s career as she created her own comedy show called Chad, with the second season airing on Roku. Following the trend of spotlighting cast members from the 2000s, another fan made sure to cast their vote for Horatio Sanz for his comedic timing in all of his sketches:
I will say Horatio Sanz because I literally laughed every time he was on screen. pic.twitter.com/JOIi5b8RWgJanuary 17, 2023
The Chilean-born American actor was a cast member from 1998 to 2006 and was actually considered to be the first Hispanic cast member. You might remember him breaking character and laughing while playing roles like Debbie Downer, giving unforgettable celebrity impressions of Rosie O’Donnell, and more. It’s good, but some would argue it falls short of Chris Farley’s infamy or infamy Chippendales drawing:
It’s hard to pick a goat with so many great stars like Chris Farley, Eddie Murphy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Phil Hartman, Gilda Radner, John Belushi, and more. The debate is likely to heat up over time, and I will stay here for the duration of the discussion and the surge of memories that comes with it.
