That should read Andy Samberg.

Neg rep for anyone voting for Fallon.

That piece of crap ruined more skits than he helped.

the Cork Sucker skit, and Barry Gibb talk show was pretty good though.

Because he giggled through every skit?

This is the closest competition so far. Only 7 votes separate the top vote getter from the 12th.

Short, Poehler, Schneider, Hader, Wiig.

Kevin Nealon? Dude was always a limp noodle on mayo and white bread with a side salad of wilted iceberg lettuce and wesson oil.

The top 20:

Farley
Myers
Fay
Radner
Hartman
Ferrell
Crystal
Miller
Murray
Aykroyd
Sandler
Lovitz
Murphy
Jo.Belushi
MacDonald
Hammond
Carvey
Chase
Spade
Curtin

Who will join them in the top 25?

I tend to agree, the name is bigger than the resume for SNL. He was mostly on the sidelines though he did have a couple of good characters in Hans and Franz along with Subliminal Man.

Tarzan, Tonto, and Frankenstein doing Christmas carols. Can't be topped.

I thought Keven Nealon was good in Weekend Update.

And it even generated spinoffs.

ya, I hated him on SNL but I do like his show now.

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

All Hartman IMO.

Yeah, I love his late night show... and Fever Pitch has to be in everyone's top 5 all time movies, amirite?

This.

No?!

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.

:harumph::harumph:

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.

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

He did that in every single skit.

I prefer Norm McDonald

Which amazes me. How did he get away with that?

He must have shared.

I voted:
Fallon
Samberg
Nealon
Short
When it comes to who is the most important to the SNL franchise, I'd have to go with Nealon due to the duration of his stay added to hosting Weekend Update. Andy Samberg would be a close second for his SNL Shorts that breathed new air into a stale show.

Closest vote so far. 10 votes separate first place from being out of it. We have 3 vying for the last spot with only one vote separating them and several within range of catching them.

I'd vote him about 10th on this list. He had no memorable characters except Barry Gibb. He couldn't get through a skit without laughing. That's why they put him on update.

Bump for the nite crew

maybe the only one but I love subliminal man

I found Poehler to be annoying more often than funny.

martin short?
all I need to know about A MADE FOR TV movie is martin short in ti?
well it suck

Moving on are:
Martin Short
Kevin Nealon
Amy Poehler
Jimmy Fallon
Chris Rock

Samburg > All of these
