Top 10 Saturday Night Live Cast Members of All Time

[@elijahlulla947]

How is Bill Hader just an honorable mention? he's one of the most versatile actors.

There are many cast members who are better than hader

[@Andy1990Glee]

Okay, I'm sorry but Bill Hader deserves way, way more than some mention. In my opinion (and of course, it is only an humble opinion) , he should've been somewhere in the top five, at least. He was very versatile and most of his impersonations were just brilliant, among the rest of his qualities. I love Kristen Wiig, and she also brought a lot to SNL, but if she made the list then Bill Hader and also Fred Armisen should've made it :)

Then start your own Mojo whatever kind of things I don't even know what I'm saying I'm so drunk now but quit criticizing WatchMojo is the best

Mighty Andy yes he does. He was the only good cast member in the last 15 years

Absolutely Hader did everything right.

OMG! This is an impossible list to make......there have been so many great performers on that show over the years

[@vanhattfield8292]

Probably the most truthful statement in the entire comment section...

[@MikePhoenix007]

The fact that cast members like Norm MacDonald, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Fred Armisen didn't even get honorable mentions tells you the sheer amount of brilliant comedians this show has birthed.

Chris Farley and Will Ferrell were hands down just funny. But Phil Hartman was the best at playing anybody at anytime and owning it. People that did not watch the show then, really don't understand how great Hartman was.

[@christiemyers3878]

Yeah, I do agree that he ws underrated and they should've used him more!! I saw and loved every skit he ever did!! He'd be in my Top 3!! On the last SNL show he did, Chris Farley wasn't the only one crying; I cried like a baby. I also loved his characters on "The Simpsons" very much!!

[@michaelashe5265]

Yep, I would have liked to see Phil Hartman closer to the #1 spot, but I think they had it right with Will Ferrell there. It's so tragic how Phil's life was cut short, RIP.

[@DHudelson]

Yep... Phil Hartman was the best of of'em all... then Dana Carvey. That was the best era by far, in my book.

[@michaellee2597]

Travis Simms THANK YOU!!!!!! So true. He was the greatest of all time. PERIOD.

[@thebreathalyzer]

@@DHudelson Hard to say, the original cast or that crew definitely were the strongest. They didn't use as many additional players then, everyone had to have the range to cover it all. The third great cast was the short run with Billy Crystal, Harry Shearer, Martin Short, Christopher Guest...

[@wessexmom]

Belushi is the most overrated SNL cast member. He was okay in the Cheeseburger skit and a few others but he was never THAT funny. Of the original cast, Ackroyd and Radner were ten times funnier and more versatile. Carvey, Wiig, Hartman & Hooks are the most underrated SNL cast members.

[@TheJAG6752]

[@TheJAG6752]

I see the logic you guys are saying, my personal favorites are Cheri and bill hader, but there’s too many for me.

[@brianmcclain2241]

@@bilcarter Right. But as the NY Times pointed out, and I think rightly, Chase had a huge impact on setting the SNL comedic style, especially for Weekend Update, that would become a bedrock staple of SNL humor for the next 40 years. Even when the sketches were weak, you could usually count on Weekend Update anchors and their "deadpan arrogance" for some laughs.

[@KnickKnack07]

Name two lasting characters or even memorable skits that Bill Murray did. He really want much on the show. People give way too much extra credit to the original cast.

[@christiemyers3878]

Hmm, interesting idea!!

[@onemanmusic6572]

This is a good idea. Different generations have watched unique sets of cast members. Comparing people from so long of a time span whose presence didn't overlap can cause disagreements, especially since the first five years were so unified and hallowed in SNL history.

[@KutWrite]

A list for each decade is a great idea. There still has to be an "All-Time" list, though. C'mon you know theirs would be "off" to say the least. At least it was fun to watch.

[@deanarupe73]

How is Belushi only #10. He was one of the greatest SNL members her should at least be in top 5 even Gilda should rate higher!

[@preciousroihomeshoppingnet7908]

Yeah, Gilda being lower than Kristen Wiig is a bit of a travesty. Murray should have made the cut, dropping Wiig... Honestly, ALL the Not Ready For Prime Time Players should have been at least Honorable Mention... Curtain and Newman were at least as funny/talented as Wiig (not a dig on her, the NRFTP were all amazing) Morris was consistently underrated and underappreciated... And Chevy too... Honestly they should have just disqualified the NRFTP and done a 10 best of the rest...would have been more fair.

[@jknotts18]

And Nasim Pedrad was solid as well. Kyle is good and so were Jay Pharoah and Taran Killam but I wouldn't miss Kenan, Beck Bennett, Mikey Day or Alex Moffet much at all. And the newest women are very strong too. Heidi Gardner and, especially, Chloe Fineman are killing it.

junkpot17, truthfully Belushi wasn't actually funny enough to be in the top 10. If he wouldn't have died so young people wouldn't mythologize him so much. He was a great Actor (especially in the blues brothers, & Animal House ), but in the 40+years of SNL he's somewhere around the top 15, or 20. Not top 10. He's not funnier than Bill Hader, Dana carvey, kenan Thompson, will Ferrel, mike Myers, David spade, Phil Hartman, Norm McDonald, Kate McKinnon, Tina Fay, Kristen Wig, Gilda Radner, Jan Hooks, Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Jason sudeikis, & at least 2 other cast members

It was definitely made by a young(er) person. Any Top 10 list will be controversial, but how do you rank SNL players and end up with Belushi, Radner and Aykroyd at or near the bottom? Kristen Whig way above the great Gilda Radner or Ferrell, Farley, Myers and Hartman all higher than Dan Aykroyd? Farley was very funny but he would be dumbfounded and embarrassed to be #2 on a list that ranked his idol and comedy role model, John Belushi, #10. It’s near certainty no baby boomers were on this panel of judges. P.S. WIERD: I’VE BEEN GETTING A COUPLE ‘LIKES’ A WEEK ON THIS COMMENT, BUT AFTER A MONTH, IT’S ONLY SHOWING +2.

Comedy is topical. It's hard for something to stay funny for a long time, because you have to "get" it. Comedy spoofs serious things. If you don't understand why something was considered serious at the time, it's hard to see how funny it is now. I'm almost as old as the original cast. My vote would go to Dan Ackroyd. He was the only one of the original cast who was also a major writer. He gave us the Coneheads, the Killer Bees, the Louds, the Wideasses, the Wild and Crazy Guys, and several other repeating skits. But he also did terrific imitations. His send up of Jimmy Carter giving advice to someone having a bad trip on acid was hysterical at the time. He was also the only person who "got" Richard Nixon, and imitated him well, concentrating on his OCD tendencies, rather than just mocking him. This list is pretty good. I would not have Will Ferrell at the top, but I would have had him in the top ten….his "Kids, Get off the shed!" is one of the best things I saw on the show. I'm surprised that Tina Fey is not there. And it's tough to keep Bill Murray out, but the other choices are all good. I haven't seen much of Kristin, and what i see here is not that impressive. Eddie Murray was out of this world funny when he came along, and he was only 20 years old! You started giggling as soon as you saw his smiling face…..

So as a 18 year old, in 1975, mondays at work we spent talking about SNL. We were just about worthless as we rehashed all the skits word for word. Every generation has their favorites. One closing comment is that there usually was a talented cast that drew from each other. That is what made the first years so memorable and set the tone for future casts. There was so much outcry for more of Chevy Chase that the 3 girls (jane, gilda, loraine) sang a song tribute to him. With that said it is a telling fact of how good Eddie Murphy was with little help to draw on. In 1975 they really were not ready for prime time or was prime time not ready for them?

[@lucihopkins9585]
