Saturday Night Live Cast Members

It's an institution that has given birth to some extremely funny characters and some extremely bad movies. It goes through good seasons and bad seasons but everyone seems to have their favorite skits and their favorite cast members.

NOTE: I'm talking about cast members in regards to their runs on SNL. I love Sarah Silverman and Damon Wayans but their time on SNL was less than memorable.

My list:

1. Eddie Murphy-If you can watch 'Eddie Murphy: Best of Saturday Night Live' without laughing out loud every other minute then you are a humorless miser. Genius.
2. Chris Farley-" ... WHEN YOU'RE LIVING IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!!"
3. Mike Meyers-Too many funny characters to list. My favorites include Simon, Dieter, and of course Wayne Campbell. The early 90's were the greatest years of SNL and Meyers was one of the best cast members then.
4. Will Farrell-I don't think I realized how funny he really was at the time.
5. Molly Shannon-There's something bizarrely sexy about her. I think 'The Delicious Dish' might be my favorite skit ever.

What's your Top Five?

1. Chris Farley - He was never afraid of any part, and made physical comedy look easy.

2. Darrell Hammond - Does the best political impersontions since Dana Carvey doing Ross Perot.

3. Will Ferrell - No explination needed.

4. Chevy Chase - The best at acting like a stumbling moron.

5. Tina Fey - Great writer, great at giving the fake news and not to shabby on the eyes either.

In no particular order:
1. Dan Aykroyd - but maybe I just have a soft spot for Dan because of the obvious Blues Brothers connection.

2. Dana Carvey - "Well isn't that special"

3. Phil Hartman - "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'm just a caveman."

4. Darrell Hammond - the guy has more impressions than nearly anyone else.

5. Tina Fey - I'll agree with Bryce on this one, for pretty much the same reasons.

1. Will Farrell - Funny in everything he does. More Cowbell baby!
2. Will Forte - Very subtle but very funny. Skits about Les Calhoon are hilarious.
3. Phil Hartman - My favorate of all time. He could play so many roles so well. His last skit with Chris Farely was tear-jerking.
4. Chris Parnell - His hardcore raps on Weekend Update's were great.
5. Andy Sandberg - Has done some hilarious stuff - a lot of potential.

Sorry guys, I don't have enough time to reduce my list of favorites to just five. I will say there have been few SNL characters that I enjoyed more than Molly Shannon's "Mary Katherine Gallagher". We have a photo/magnet of her on our fridge. Superstar!

I've just recently downloaded Mt4 Protect and wanted to tell you guys about my experience with it.
I was worried about all the Metatrader Malware out there at the moment as I heard you can get them from downloading Expert Advisors from the internet.
While I don't download decompiled experts the last thing I want is some hacker getting my account details and draining my trading account as I have built it up into quite a bit of $$$. That's why I purchased MT4 protect so it can stop my account from getting attacked. I think the price is well worth the protection I will receive
I got a copy at [url=http://www.mt4protect.com/] mt4protect.com [/url] via paypal and my product code was sent to me within 4 hours.
I installed it and its great It works in the system tray and scans my computer in real time to detect any attacks.
The EA optimization tool is so great - you can allocate more memory to your MT4 terminal so your trades get executed faster! There are also heaps of registry tweaks and cleanup features that have tuned up my Windows XP PC.
With Trojans and virus attacks hitting Forex traders all the time now I definitely think that MT4 Protect is a worthwhile investment.
