I'll give you subliminal man, but Hanz and Franz was most likely dreamt up by Dana Carvey.

That piece of crap ruined more skits than he helped.

Hartman was inspired, I don't deny that, but I also don't think the skit flies without the contribution of Nealon's earnest Tarzan or Lovitz's stoic Tonto.

You have three kinds of cast members. You have the stars who come up with the most ideas for sketches and are the funniest. You have the people who are in a lot of sketches because they make the stars look good (they play well with others) or can cover a certain role. Then you have the guys who are extras in the scenes with no speaking lines who get relegated to having a skit on the weekend update. IMO Tracy Morgan, Tim Meadows, Jimmy Fallon and Kevin Nealon were amongst the third type. Chris Rock, Andy Samberg, Jim Belushi, Amy Poehler, Rob Schneider and Kristen Wiig were the second type. Martin Short and Joe Piscapo were the big stars of the show during their time.

I'll give you that. And with that I'll call him the Tyler Thigpen of cast members. Never great. Mostly bad. And on rare occasions pulls something average out his butt.

I dunno about Nealon. I'd definitely classify him in your second group. He was in all sorts of sketches.

I think Samburg & Wiig are the 2 biggest "stars" on the show right now. Samburg's Digital Shorts have been one of the highlights of the last several seasons. Wiig has created more characters than anyone in recent history.

Yes. That and Wiig is quite fetching imo.

Who is voting for Fallon.

Show yourselves and let justice be done upon you.

Maybe I just can't get beyond his starring role in Hot Rod.

I liked some of his skits...but his laughing/smiling thing bugged me when he would laugh in the middle of a bit.
