re: that SNL ranking, to rank someone who made such a contribution to the show like Jimmy Fallon at #80 while putting Nancy Walls at #42 just says - crash davis Dec 23, 10:18 46
- You can look at last weeks episode to realize just how good he was. -- nm - Spawn Dec 23, 11:27
- Also putting Seth Meyers at 51 is ridiculous. I think his weekend updates are brilliant. Usually the funniest part of the show. -- nm - pmb Dec 23, 10:59 5
  - sadly, sometimes the only things I enjoy are Weekend Update and Digital Short -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 11:02
  - That's kind of an island though and the result of the writing. In the rare skit, I don't remember him being good enough to be ranked that high. -- nm - Max Dec 23, 11:02 3
    - Yes, but he writes it and it's a show centerpiece. They rank Dennis Miller and Norm MacDonald higher than him. -- nm - pmb Dec 23, 11:04
    - Seth Myers is the show's head writer, so you have to give him credit for Weekend Update's writing -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 11:04 1
      - objection! I call this a performer's list. -- nm - Max Dec 23, 11:30
- looking at that list makes me realise how little of SNL I've seen since the original cast left -- nm - zork Dec 23, 10:56
- also the editor of that list missed the contradiction in the Nora Dunn/Jon Lovitz write-ups -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 10:51
- also, i heart Abby Elliott, but she got major "being hot" bonus points. - TFox Dec 23, 10:44 1
  - I agree with all of that -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 10:45
- Wait, there's only been 92 cast members of SNL ever? -- nm - MDH Dec 23, 10:38 1
  - these are the regularly billed ones, not the "also featuring" members like say currently Jay Pharoh -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 10:39
- Farley that low seems impossible to me. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 23, 10:35 4
  - yeah, Farley was a unique natural force -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 10:36 3
    - I don't know how high i'd rank him, but 22 seems impossibly low. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 23, 10:39 1
      - the 18/17/16 ranking deal they try to justify, but I think its more a salute to their outside work than what they did there -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 10:40
    - El Nino! which is Spanish for The Nino! -- nm - oblique Dec 23, 10:37
- Right. I watched fairly regularly during the Fallon years and I never got the hate. - spamlet (iphone) Dec 23, 10:27 27
  - He ruined every bit he was in because his part had to be played straight. They needed to come up with a character that giggled a lot. -- nm - GregW Dec 23, 10:39 4
    - oh yeah, Cowbell is so ruined -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 10:42 3
      - so is Barry Gibb Talk Show. -- nm - Diva Dec 23, 10:43 2
        
        Both cases where he didn't need to play it straight, so it worked. -- nm - GregW Dec 23, 10:49 1
        
        Ruined! -- nm - Diva Dec 23, 10:51
  - I dug that he channeled Harvey Korman. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 23, 10:38
  - I appreciate the guys who can't hold it together. They do make the skits funnier usually. - TFox Dec 23, 10:32 19
    - so many of the funniest bits in the Carol Burnett Show where when one of them cracked up -- nm - zork Dec 23, 10:55 2
      - Indeed. The world needs more Tim Conway and Harvey Korman. -- nm - David Dec 23, 11:32
      - I don't think I've laughed harder as a kid than I did at those moments. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 23, 10:59
    - as long as they don't give it up too easily. - znufrii Dec 23, 10:40 9
      - The one I remember is the Debby Downer sketch at Disney World - amoxy Dec 23, 10:54
      - in the matter of the reporter, the break was timed perfectly. - TFox Dec 23, 10:42 7
        
        Spade giggling on the couch while Farley is doing his "In a van down by the river" bit makes it much funnier IMO -- nm - oblique Dec 23, 10:45 3
        
        I can't remember who the female guest was who was on the couch with him but she couldn't look at Spade or Farley. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 23, 10:49 2
        
        Applegate -- nm - Beaker Dec 23, 10:52 1
        
        I just watched it on Hulu. Still funny -- nm - oblique Dec 23, 10:55
        
        I think I missed that one, but yeah. -- nm - znufrii Dec 23, 10:43 2
        
        i'd link it if i could get to the video from here. it's from the Emma Stone episode. -- nm - TFox Dec 23, 10:46 1
        
        I'll look for it. -- nm - znufrii Dec 23, 10:49
    - I think its somewhat genius that he built a quirk into the Stefon character that allows himself to hide his face -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 10:37 2
      - exactly. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 23, 10:39
      - *nods* - znufrii Dec 23, 10:38
    - Sanz was fun, no matter how often he broke. -- nm - Max Dec 23, 10:34 2
      - Seriously, there were a large number of those cast member that most people wouldn't even recognize as ever having been on that show (or no memory of - pmb Dec 23, 10:39 1
        
        yeah, Schneider at 88 and Kattan at 83 doesn't make sense to me...and I hated Mango - crash davis Dec 23, 10:47
  - It took awhile to grow comfortable with him following Dennis Miller. -- nm - Its beginning to feel a lot like zeitgeist Dec 23, 10:32
