Through the first 61 votes of the day there is surprisingly little competition.

My plan is to to run the Final 4 tomorrow starting around 9 a.m. and then run the final on the weekend if it is warranted. If it's a huge gap one way or the other, will cap it Saturday night.

I have my prediction on the winner. I don't want to influence the votes by saying the name, but I'd bet the farm on this person. It was my prediction from day one. I'll admit it if I end up being wrong.

I voted for Hader only because I know Ferrell will probably win and I wanted to help keep it closer.

I'll be pretty disappointed if Fey gets the win over Carvey honestly.

Now I'm conflicted of whether to sabotage the vote solely to disappoint you or not.

Does anybody really think Tina Fey is a top-8 cast member of all time???
She lucked into a very easy path to the elite eight.
Round 1: Mikey Day, A Whitney Brown, Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Round 2: Cheri Oteri
Round 3: Tracy Morgan

Her role as a cast member is irrelevant. Her role as a writer is pretty elite

If I caught myself at a fork in my voting I would ask "did they have a Best of DVD in the early 00's?" If they did, that was my vote.

Putting all those gifs together made me surprisingly upset about the fact that Farley and Hartman's lives ended so early and so miserably. Farley could never get off the train tracks even though he could hear that whistle coming for years, and I wish Andy Dick would go to hell.

Yeah, two extremely brilliant guys. Two entirely different types of brilliance. Two tragic wastes of extraordinary talent, wasted for two terribly different reasons. Both tailor made for SNL.

I recall Andy Dick having something to do with Farley's death but can't recall what it was. Were they doing drugs the night he died?

The first choice is easy for me. Hartman is the GOAT of SNL.

The second stumped me for a few minutes. I really had to think. I ultimately decided on Carvey because had a longer run and played a great variety of characters. His ability to do nails impersonations put him over the top for a show that relies on a lot of political satire.

But Chris Farley was a slapstick genius and is certainly a legit top 5 all time.

It was regarding Andy Dick taunting Jon Lovitz about Hartman's murder. Muck told the story over the summer here: https://texags.com/forums/13/topics/3114531/replies/56629767

Quote:
If you don't know the story ...

In an interview with Dennis Miller , comedian Jon Lovitz explained that Andy Dick's constant complaining about his arrival on "Newsradio" led to an argument during which Lovitz accused Dick of contributing to the death of Phil Hartman.

Lovitz had joined the show, of which Dick was a co-star, after his friend Hartman was shot and killed by Hartman's wife, Brynn.
"[Andy] was just complaining and really giving me a hard time for no reason. Phil told me that they had a Christmas party and Andy was doing cocaine and he gave it to Phil's wife Brynn, who had been sober for 10 years. So Andy said to me, 'Well, you shouldn't be here,' and I said, 'Well, I wouldn't be here if you hadn't given Brynn coke in the first place.'"

Eventually, the two worked out their differences, or so Lovitz thought.
"Later on we made up, and I said 'I'm sorry I said that,'" Lovitz said. "I realized it really wasn't his fault. Everything was fine for years."
But everything changed when Dick visited a restaurant of which Lovitz is part-owner. Lovitz said he was sitting at a table with a friend, and a group at the table next to them treated them to some peach liqueurs. Apparently, Dick and a friend came over to their table, and downed both liqueurs.
"He's standing there with liqueur dripping down his chin and he says, 'I put the Phil Hartman hex on you, you're the next one to die,'" said Lovitz. "And he's smiling, and my blood just went to my head. I wanted to smash him, but if I hit him he would have gone flying into the table behind him. He was really drunk."

Lovitz told Dick's friend to take his buddy out of the restaurant and vowed never to let him back in again. He didn't see Dick again until Wednesday night, when Lovitz was performing his weekly show at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles.

"So I do my show and there's all these people there and then I'm done and the MC's up on stage and I see Andy's up on stage and I'm like 'Oh my God, what's he going to do?'" he said.

Lovitz met up with Dick in the packed lobby after the show. Lovitz wanted an apology from Dick for his "Hartman's hex" comment. But, apparently, Dick hadn't really buried the hatchet over their initial argument during their stint on "Newsradio."

"I just wanted him to say, 'Oh, I'm sorry,'" said Lovitz. "Then he leans into me, 'Well you know why I said that? Because you said I killed Phil Hartman that's the first thing you said to me when you got on the show.' I just lost it so I grabbed him by the shirt and I pushed him against the wall. And he's just smiling at me, and then I realized 'oooh, here's my chance.' So I grabbed him by his shirt and pushed him really hard and I smashed his back and his head into the bar. And I did it again. I would have kept going, but the doorman broke it up."

Miller congratulated Lovitz, whom he had introduced as "one of the most loveable, easygoing guys I know." He said, "I love this story. Good for you my friend."

Here's the interview

Personally I wouldn't put him above Myers, but it's just personal preference. And Hartman is fantastic.

For me, probably the best guest voice on The Simpsons of all time. And that's saying a lot.

I really wish we could have seen later career Farley and Hartman. I struggle thinking what a 50 year old Farley would be doing. Hartman obviously could have had a long comedic/dramatic career.
