What's your Mount Rushmore of SNL?

[Royale with Cheese]

It's your personal Mount Rushmore so basically your favorites and not necessarily the ones with the biggest impact/most popular.

 

For me it would go:

• Phil Hartman
• Chris Farley
• Will Ferrell
• Mike Myers

John Belushi

Chevy Chase

Will Ferrell

Dana Carvey

 

[May Day 10]

Eddie Murphy

Adam Sandler

Steve Martin

Chris Farley

Chris Farley

Bill Murray

[DasNootz]

John Belushi
Eddie Murphy
Phil Hartman
Will Ferrell

 

It's tough leaving so many good ones off the list, but the above spans roughly 4 decades.

Agreed. Funny how most/all of them are from many years ago. The show is just not the same to me any more...

Hader is a good one....I actually might put him above Mike Myers for me.

How about four that were largely ignored at SNL, then became huge stars:

 

Robert Downey, Jr

Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Ben Stiller

Chris Rock

(Sarah Silverman as a bonus fifth member)

 

Btw, I don't think many of you have watched SNL in decades. All good answers above, but Keenan Thompson has been on for 16 years and carries the show most weeks with his stellar array of impersonations and recurring characters. He deserves to be in the top 4 all-time.

Hader was incredible for his range and hasn’t played himself out, st least as far as I have noticed, my interest in pop culture has lessened over time....

He did the same thing over and over again for decades, not to say it isn’t hilarious still

Ran into Mike 20 years ago out and about in Toronto, restfully said hi and enjoyed his work and he scurried away in actual terror like he was an escaped convict. That was sucky, read that week he was in legal combat with his agent and advisors.....
