No, I’ve seen him, but I still don’t think any of them hold a candle to the original casts.

Bullpen Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 I finally got around to reading "Live From New York" by James Miller and Tom Shales and it brought back a lot of memories of the show and behind the scene stories I hadn't ever read. It's written as a oral history piece so it's easy to pick up and put down as needed. Like Augie said, we need a bigger mountain, but if I had to narrow it to four: Darrel Hammond Eddie Murphy Bill Hader Norm McDonald

stony Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 Hader Ferrell Farley McKinnon On 12/15/2018 at 1:52 AM, KD in CA said: Darrell Hammond -- unbelievably talented; his range of characters is unparalleled on the show. The Clinton/Gore years were hilarious. Norm McDonald -- too irreverent even for the show that supposedly prides itself on being just that; his Weekend Update will never be approached, much less passed. Will Ferrell -- great 4-minute sketch comedian (but yes, still intolerable in any movie); you can't ignore his longevity and many good characters. Phil Hartman -- his Frank Sinatra might be the funniest character ever Dana Carvey, Victoria Jackson, Ana Gasteyer, Chris Rock and Mike Meyers for honorable mention. Agreed, best ever. IIRC he got the boot because of his OJ segments. He was asked to back off from some higher-ups who were friendly with OJ and just went harder at him.
