#4 Dan Aykroyd vs. #5 Andy Samberg 52%-48%
That's an interesting pairing. One helped create and mold the show and one helped revolutionize it for modern times.

That was a power matchup and rightfully close.
I would be surprised if the final wasn't Will Ferrell vs Chris Farley.
Tina Fey would definitely be my vote for best head writer. Ever since she left that position, I haven't been as big of a fan of the show.
I was surprised I picked Hader over Sandler. I just find Hader to be one of the funniest people on the planet.
The Will Forte vs Norm McDonald bracket was a tough one for me and I am surprised it was not very close.
I am surprised Tina Fey is the last female cast member. I personally think she is the funniest woman on the planet, but it is mainly due to her writing. As far as a cast member, I would put the trio of Molly Shannon, Cheri Oteri, and Ana Gasteyer above any other group of ladies on that show. Those three were comedy gold.

Kristen Wiig is also still in it.
Wiig vs. Farley was harder than I thought. It's the classic short lightning in a bottle vs. longer consistency battle.
I'm just voting on who made me laugh the most.
I cant believe you monsters voted Darrell Hammond out.
Completely missed her.
I had drifted from SNL during her run, so not as familiar with her stint as I am Tina Fey's.

Through 51 votes, 3 of the 8 are less than 60-40 and one is separated by one vote. Tomorrow will be a real doozy across the board.
At least he can look forward to going home to his wife Morgan Fairchild.AggieChemist said:Quote:

My all-time favorite for Lovitz, especially when he blows up at Doug Llewellyn and then apologizes.Claude! said:At least he can look forward to going home to his wife Morgan Fairchild.AggieChemist said:Quote:

I love Sandler...but I went with Hader as well. I had to separate SNL Sandler from Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison. Looking strictly at their SNL resume, Hader wins it fairly easily for me.
I find Keenan hilarious in almost everything he does. His mannerisms, facial expressions, line delivery crack me up.jm94 said:I know it's the same skit every time, but I miss this.OCEN99 said:

I'm surprised Fallon lost, but i think it's for the inverse reason.
He certainly is funny, but for some reason his inability to do anything but act on SNL and stay forever affects my opinion of himdouble aught said:I find Keenan hilarious in almost everything he does.

Have you forgotten about his country music career?

Here's a secret. If you're a Saturday Night Live writer, and you want to get an extra laugh in your script, just add this line: "KENAN REACTS." Sure, it's sort of cheating. But we still do it sometimes. Because it works.

I know breaking character is why so many people hate on Fallon...but it's just so much funnier when it's Hader.
Bill Hader breaking character is probably the funniest thing in the history of SNL. I don't think anything makes me laugh more, and it's contagious too, he can wreck everyone else in the scene.Brian Earl Spilner said:

Evidently the issue with the Stephan skits is that John Mulaney would rewrite them before he went on the air and not tell him. So he'd have to say the most ridiculous stuff and he wasn't prepared for it, results speak for themselves.
Yeah, Mulaney would change just two or three lines between dress and air so the first time Hader would see the new lines was on the cue cards as he was speaking, and right as Hader would be walking on stage for the skit Mulaney would say just like 3 words about what the change might be and then walk away.
Will be closing polls early tomorrow as one of my clients wants to do something I really despise tomorrow - talk on the phone - during the middle of the day.
One matchup is a dead heat after 94 votes and another is a difference of only 6 so vote tonight if you haven't already.

Man, Tina Fey vs Dana Carvey.
A breakdown by years on the show.
#1 Mike Myers 1989-1995
#2 Phil Hartman 1986-1994
#1 Will Ferrell 1995-2002
#2 Bill Hader 2005-2013
#1 Tina Fey 1999-2006
#2 Dana Carvey 1986-1993
#1 Chris Farley 1990-1995
#2 John Belushi 1975-1979
If you look at the overlap, in the 1990-1991 season the main cast was Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Jan Hooks, Victoria Jackson, Dennis Miller, Mike Myers, and Kevin Nealon.
The "middle players" were: Chris Farley, Tim Meadows, Chris Rock, and Julia Sweeney.
The "featured players" were A Whitney Brown, Al Franken, Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, and David Spade.
That was the "rookie year" for Meadows, Sweeney, Brown, Sandler, Schneider, and Spade.
And the writers' room included Jim Downey, Franken, Tom Davis, Jack Handey, Conan O'Brien, Rob Smigel, and Bob Odenkirk.

So, I'm guessing Tina Fey we are giving her a lot of credit for her writing? I mostly only remember her as a top notch Weekend Update.
Yeah, I voted Carvey. Strictly as a cast member he was better. I do love Tina Fey's writing, I think she's brilliant.
Good result, rightfully close.Quote:
