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 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.
