Sandler....hands down.
Even though he didn't sing...Spade as Tom Petty was gold.

I love that Michael Bolton doesn't take himself too seriously, between this and the lonely island song
On a separate note, gf and I watched Beetlejuice last week and were discussing the cast. I brought up the Robert Goulet impression will ferrel used to do and pulled up a skit. I had forgotten that he just yelled out the n-word during the thong song and big poppa

That was excruciating in the best way possible.
The number of impressions in a short time was impressive. Sandler killed. And I loved Wilson Phillips with Chris Farley (ouch) and Dylan and a mute Tom Petty.
Who the hell was Chris Rock supposed to be at the beginning? Not Whoopie she looked too good. tina turner maybe but why didn't she sing?
EDIT - ok I read the comments and it was Whoopi and Rick Dees at the start. Wasted Rocks talent there. Let him be Stevie Wonder or MJ or something. Hell he could have been Eddie Murphy who tried a singing career that would have been funny.
but that's an incredible talent list of what has to be near peak SNL cast:
Dana Carvey ... Bob Dylan
Dana Carvey ... Casey Kasem
Chris Farley ... Carnie Wilson
Laurie Shephard ... Chynna Phillips
Phil Hartman ... Kenny Rogers
Jan Hooks ... Diana Ross
Victoria Jackson ... Cyndi Lauper
Tim Meadows ... Lenny Kravitz
Mike Myers ... Mick Jagger
Chris Rock ... Whoopi Goldberg
Adam Sandler ... Axl Rose
Rob Schneider ... Rick Dees
David Spade ... Tom Petty
Christine Zander ... Annie Lennox

Farley in drag never disappoints.
He seems like a good sport about his image. Here he is in "Two and a Half Men."G.I.Bro said:

Okay, now somebody pull up the "Men's Synchronized Swimming" skit! That one was probably the funniest thing I ever saw on SNL, and I'm partial to the original cast... I think that skit has been memory holed, unfortunately.
The Pepsi Syndrome was the first NL skit I ever saw when I was like 9 yrs old.
My parents were having a party and my brother and I were watching TV way past our bedtime upstairs on the 10" black and white TV in their bedroom. My older brother knew about SNL but we'd never seen it and he found it flipping thru channels. We laughed so hard at the "I could of had a V8" line.

Were she still alive, Jan Hooks would be cancelled for doing a blackface Diana Ross.

Yup. The old chestnut is that everyone's "best" cast was the one from when they were in high school.
I've said this many times throughout the years but in this case I think it's objectively the truth for folks my age. I graduated HS in '92 and the cast from about '88-'92 was just effing incredible.

So Colorado enacted a law last year that required any eggs sold in the state had to be from a free range chicken...when comedy/satire becomes real life.
Hard to disagree with that. I'd extend that to the mass firing of Farley, Sandler, Norm. '95?$240 Worth of Pudding said:Zombie Jon Snow said:

I'm HS class of '98.
I was going to make the same comment but don't even remember Jan Hooks having died. I'm only 9 years behind that news. How unfortunate.torrid said:

Michael Bolton and SNL are so awesome!!
Was he Axl or Brett Michaels?
Axl for sure

That was great. I wasn't sure who a few were though; thanks for sharing this.
Axl Sandler again.
Thanks agdoc, good find!
I think the version I saw used a lot/most of the same material but was edited differently. Along with Martin Short saying "I'm not a STRONG swimmer" there's another part where he sheepishly looks at the camera and says "I don't SWIM."
Anyway, thanks again for the link!

I was in HS in the late 90's and early 2000's at the peak of the solid Will Ferrell and Daryl Hammond era...and to me it's no contest...the early and mid 90's cast was by far the best.Quote:

Carvey, Norm, Hartman, Farley, Sandler, Schneider, Rock, Spade, Jackson, Myers, Nealon...so many legends. I remember watching the Bush/Perot skits with my parents as a kid.
They made of everyone, and it always had a dash of empathy. They weren't trying to make any statements...they were just trying to be as silly as possible. That influenced the humor I have today. There was nothing quite like it, and probably never will be again.
