Chris Kattan and Leslie Jones have the same brand of unfunny loudness. They are just loud and stupid.

Rolling Stone has a list of cast members from worst to first and Norm MacDonald is ranked #139.

Behind Anthony Michael Hall and Jeaneane Garofalo.

They ranked Maya Rudolph ahead of Jon Lovitz.

They ranked Keenan Thompson and Jimmy Fallon way ahead of Jane Curtain, Jan Hooks, Tim Meadows, Kevin Nealon and Nora Dunn. This is the world we live in.

Keeping it to casts I have watched. I’ve heard that the cast in 1980 was horrible but that was before I was even born.

Ellen Cleghorne
Whoever played Pat
Rachel Dratch
Jay Pharoh

Keenan Thompson plays every skit as the same character.

Q1) Would I be qualified o respond in this thread if I have not watched one skit of SNL in over 20* years because of the shittness of the cast members over 20 years ago?

* It could be longer than that...when was Dana Carvey as the church lady a thing?

Colin Quinn was pretty bad. He was terrible in the few skits he was in and always looked so uncomfortable doing Weekend Update

Whichever 5 are on the current cast I'd imagine, though I don't know any of their names.

The worst are probably some of the bit cast members that only lasted a season or two and didn't have many feature skits. Beth Cahill comes to mind. I never cared much for Victoria Jackson's characters, but I wouldn't put her in the worst category. I also stopped regularly watching SNL in the mid to late 90's so not familiar with many cast members past then.

Collin Quinn was also terrible. He wasn't even funny on Weekend Update. Can't really remember any other skits he was in.

The most overrated to me is Kristen Wiig. I not only find her to be unfunny, I also think much of her stuff is just cringeworthy.

4) Chris Kattan

Do you hate Chris Kattan on your own, or do you hate him because Norm McDonald does?



Mine off the top of my head:

Jimmy Fallon
Horatio Sanz
Kenan Thompson (may be the worst)
Tracy Morgan (unpopular, I know, but I couldn't fricking stand him on SNL)
Leslie Jones (should be on a bottom five list of anything she's a part of honestly)


ETA: As mentioned, I am sure there are plenty of small, bit players that nobody really remembers that would belong on the list. But since nobody (me specifically) really remembers them, they don't really count toward my list.

Chris Kattan and Horatio Sanz are not even remotely close to being on a "5 Worst Cast Members of SNL History" List.
