The best from Saturday Night Live.
Published on September 28, 2004 By Jamie Burnside In Entertainment

I am watching something on the E! channel right now.  It is a countdown of the "Top 101 moments of Saturday Night Live."

It is interesting how even though I haven't been a real avid watcher of SNL since about 1994, I still seem to have caught all of the major characters and sketches from the show.

Here's my question: who is your favorite cast member?

When I think about this I consider: Bill Murray, Dana Carvey, and then Eddie Murphy. 

Bill Murray and Eddie Murphy have gone on to be HUGE stars.  Dana Carvey hasn't been as successful, but he's still done pretty well for himself.  I think that his sense of humor is too offbeat for being thrust too far into the mainstream.

(Does anyone remember the "Dana Carvey Show" on ABC?  That was awesome!  It is too bad that it didn't last so long.)

That does it.  I think that Dana Carvey was my favorite cast member.  (The other two guys aren't far behind.)

I love Will Ferell! He's my fav I think


I think that maybe he's the only player that may be higher on my list than Norm. I love his Alex Trebeck on celebrity jeopardy!

Those Celebrity Jeopardy ones were one of my favorite, if not my favorite! Especially when they had Sean Connery!

Here is a bit of a change-of-topic, but speaking of game show satire: 

 I LOVED that SCTV sketch where Eugene Levy moderated a sort-of Hollywood Squares sketch.  One of the contestants kept buzzing in, then claiming his buzzer was broken.  The character played by John Candy kept offering to fix it.

funny.

I think my favorite sketch ever on SNL was something called "Rookie Cop" from the somewhere in 1994-6 region of SNL.... everyone was a puking in that one....
