SNL Cast Overhaul?

I'd have to put Eddie Murphy on there. Too many great characters and skits to leave him off. Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood.....Stevie Wonder....James Brown Hot Tub song....I am Gumby, damn it.....Buckwheat...

I had a problem with that until I went to see my doctor last month.

I can't stay awake to watch anymore. But John Belushi, Ackroyd and Martin were my favs to watch with Farley not far behind.

Armisen's out. Sudekis is "probably" out.

Meyers will at least stick around for half of next season. He's leaving after the show takes it's break after Christmas.

I predict they will do a co-anchor thing with Seth and some writer we haven't heard of yet until Seth leaves. Then it will be new guy.

Best guess for "unknown writer":

John Mulaney

All time best SNL cast would include:

Featuring:

Not on the list:
The guy who played McGruber, Al Franken, Joe Pissapole, Andy (not nearly as funny as he thinks he is with the exception of skits with Justin Timberlake) Samberg, Adam Sandler or Billy Crystal.

Didn't categorize Mike Myers?

Never did anything on SNL worth categorizing to me. About as funny and memorable as a plastic Wal Mart bag and not as useful.

Other than the stupid TV show dork name a single memorable character he created on the show. I'd take Sudekis or Hader over him every day.

His movies suck, too, except for Shrek.

Linda Richman
Dieter
Simon
Stuart Rankin
Lothar
Phillip

Myers is far more talented and memorable than Hader and Sudeikis combined.

I'll give you Sudeikis.

You're dead wrong on Hader. He's one of the all-time greats. It's not en-vogue to say that about someone in the modern era, but it's true. He's a heavyweight. Uber-talented. As versatile as Will Ferrell. Can play the straight-man (i.e. a Game Show Host) just as well as the outrageous character. Is a dead-on impressionist.

He also is a head writer for South Park.

He will be missed.

Diff'rent strokes...

I dislike Hader...maybe he's one of those guys whose writing is far better than his acting/performing.

Diff'rent strokes indeed.

I dislike Meyers intensely. He's like half a Billy Crystal without the crystal.

Linda Richman - Stupid one-note character. Not half as good as the Poehler/Rudolph Jersey girls
Dieter - Even stupider half-note character. Useless, worthless and as funny as a boil on the ass.

No idea who any of the following are.

Simon
Stuart Rankin
Lothar
Phillip

I don't dislike Sudekis or Hader but they are not Myers either.

That above is just idiotic. No talent involved in making dumbass faces and thrashing around like an imbecile.

Hader and Sudekis are more cerebral.

Difference between visual gags (Three Stooges) and thinking comedy (Seinfeld).

There's a place for both, but one takes more talent than the other.

Your list of all time is good Kaos...I do think you are missing Jon Lovitz though.

"Yeah, that's the ticket..."

Featured player, not cast.

I can see that.
