You got number one correct, but Tina Fey only at 11?

I think Tina has some revisionist history for people clamoring for her...she wasn't nearly as good at live skits as she is on 30 Rock.

I agree with Jan Hooks in the top 5 - she was damn good and a great live skit performer in the late 80's.

I would put Jan Hooks at number two after Radner.

3. Oteri
4. Wiig
5. Michaela Watkins
6. Julia Sweeney
Blah blah blah

Forgot about her! But Jan Hooks always made her funnier. Like Will Ferrell did in almost every skit lol

Kristen Wig is probably the most talented, wittiest, etc. It's unfortunate that she is in so many poorly written skits. Kind of diluted herself by being one of the most used actors, compared to some of the other females. She's actually very good looking when she's not on SNL.

I remember Hooks when she was on WTBS with the Bill Tush comedy show.

What about Julia Louis-Dreyfus? She was funny somewhat on the show. Better after with Larry David though.

1) Radner
2) Molly Shannon
3) Jane Curtain - I've always had a thing for her
4) Kristen Wiig
5) Maya Rudolph
6) Tina Fey for writing and Weekend Update alone
7) Poehler/Gasteyer/Dratch

That early 2000s SNL was great for women...

this is a really good point. The cast is just flat out hilarious at times.

I don't really think Fey should be that high. Like a few have said her main contributions came from writing/weekend update.
