digitalmonkey 929 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I realize the ages of the majority of posters here will probably not fair well for guys like Akroyd, Martin, Belushi, et al....but I'm curious as to who you guys think is/was the best cast member from Saturday Night Live?I'm casting the first vote for Mike Myers!

That's probably the funniest thing I've ever seen. In fact, I'm immediately changing my signature to reflect my love. Hugs,Wang Link to post Share on other sites

Belushi2. Ferrel3. Murphy4. Farleymy favorite person to have come from the show is Bill Murray, but i don't think he was that strong as a cast member. his movies are all genius though Link to post Share on other sites

Allie 0 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I'm old enough to have watched it faithfully in the beginning, when they weren't re-runs. As much as I like guys like Mike Myers and Martin Short, nobody can touch the beginning with Belushi and Akroyd. With Bill Murray a close second. Also, notable mention goes to the genius of the late Gilda Radner. Link to post Share on other sites
mk 11 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 For work done on the show, I would say Phil Hartman.For work done outside the show, I would say Christopher Guest. Link to post Share on other sites
