Poehler is the only contender. nm - Dignan Apr 19, 09:31 4
- Her or Maya Rudolph were the only two that I would even consider for the argument. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 19, 09:35 3
  - Rudolph certainly doesn't get the cred she deserves, she was gold on SNL. Same for Ana Gastayer (sp?). (nm) - musubi Apr 19, 09:40 2
    - Gastayer was great. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 19, 09:40 1
      - ... schweddy balls ... -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 09:41
Fey and Poehler were fantastic. but Kristen is a lot more talented than i originally gave her credit for. -- nm - Andie Apr 19, 09:30
Molly Shannon? Tina Fey? -- nm - Strongbad Apr 19, 09:27 26
- I'm going to take flak for this but I stand by the assertion that Sheri O'Teri was very underrated. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 19, 09:40
- I think Fey is a contender. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 09:29 6
  - I'd remove Fey only cuz she gets the massive credit for her writing ... she's not deep in the sketches otherwise. - Will Hunting Apr 19, 09:32 4
    - Fey might not have been deep into the sketches, but she was arguably the best Weekend Update anchor ever. (nm) - musubi Apr 19, 09:37 2
      - Funniest is Fey. Best performer is Wiig or maybe Poehler. nm - Dignan Apr 19, 09:39 1
        
        I think Poehler is hands down better than Wiig, but that's not a slight of Wiig. - musubi Apr 19, 09:40
    - this. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 09:33
  - Fey is a contender but she's a narrow and specific type of humor. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 19, 09:30
- Molly, yes. I love Tina, but she doesn't have the range. - Ser Vermyn Apr 19, 09:29 16

    - Well, she also did this little thing that's important to comedy called writing -- nm - con_carne Apr 19, 09:40
    - Her Palin though was incredibly influential. - Mel Profit Apr 19, 09:38 1
      - Think of how many people still think Palin actually said that. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 09:41
    - And those 2 tricks are LIGHT YEARS better than the stupid Gilly bit. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 19, 09:33 6
      - I prefer Penelope over Gilly, but Wiig's got more than just those two bits -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 09:34 5
        
        She needs to do more Aunt Linda, less Garth and Kat. -- nm - Ser Vermyn Apr 19, 09:40
        
        yeah, her Drew Barrymore impersonation was spot on perfect. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 19, 09:37 2
        
        the tone inflection sold it -- nm - Epiphany Apr 19, 09:39
        
        iirc, drew barrymore came on and impersonated Gilly, as well -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 09:38
        
        Don't make her sing. -- nm - Ser Vermyn Apr 19, 09:37
    - she wasn't even on SNL when she did Palin, she'd left, they just brought her back for that. -- nm - Andie Apr 19, 09:32 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        Fey's book is interesting if you like her and are an SNL fan, lots of behind the scenes stuff talked about. -- nm - Andie Apr 19, 09:34 1
        
        and she was a lot nicer re: Palin than I expected. -- nm - Ser Vermyn Apr 19, 09:36
    - damn good tricks, though. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 09:31
- Mollly Shannon is a hell no -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 19, 09:28
