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

      - 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
