Your personal favs....

Mine will always be Phil Hartman, with Radner, Farley and Ferrell tied for second.

There is no one from the younger group that can come close to the Murphy, Belushi, Ackroyd days.

1. Eddie Murphy - everything he did worked. Everything. The best that's ever been on the show.

2. Phil Hartman and Dan Aykroyd - these two were very similar in that they were workmanlike in their approach and did a lot of different characters. But they were both supremely talented in everything they did. They could carry a sketch easy.

3. Dana Carvey - not the choice for many, but the guy brought so much versatility and energy to the show. You never knew what was coming when he was in a sketch.

No, I'm overseas in Mexico and SNL has a YouTube channel with most sketches not viewable in the USA. Watching the Church Lady right now. A character I was pretty much unaware of but now loving is Jimmy Fallon's Nick Burns, your company's computer guy

I know it's almost heretical to say any group was better than the Belushi/Aykroyd/Curtin early days. But this group was, in my opinion. And I'm old enough to say I watched SNL from the beginning.




Disclaimer: the Hartman/Carvey/Miller years were the last I watched.

People have named some amazing talents like Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, John Belushi, etc. but I'll have to go with Phil Hartman based on longevity and his 'contributions' to the show in terms of number of sketches, characters, etc.
