3. Garrett Morris
4. Colin Quinn
5. Tony Rosato
6. Chris Kattan
7. Horatio Sanz
8. Chris Farley

Brad Hall  
Rich Hall  
Anthony Michael Hall  
Charles Rocket  
Gary Kroeger  
Garrett Morris  
Kevin Nealon  
Melonie Hutsell  
Tony Rosato  
Terry Sweeney

I did a Google search and found a cast list. There’s like 15 ppl I couldn’t pick out of a line-up. I ignored them , and went with ppl that were around long enough to annoy the hell out of me.

There’s a few on the current cast that appear destined for my list, but I’ll give them a chance to sink or swim. Will Forte has already dug himself a deep, deep hole. If he does another high-pitched song. . . :eek:

The “makin’ copies” guy  
Whoever played “Mr. Peepers”  
Umm…everyone involved with Kirstie Alley’s Italian Restaurant skit, whether they were funny elsewhere or not  
Will Ferrell  
Adam Sandler (Yeah yeah, everyone loves Adam Sandler except me)  
Chris Farley (See Adam Sandler note, substitute Chris Farley’s name)  
Yeah, that Mary Catherine girl  
Whoever it was who did those stupid Spartan Cheerleader skits  
Those girls who did the “Oh.Mah.Gawd” skits

That’s gotta be at least 9 people in there, even with duplicates. 😉

Just for your information, Mary Catherine Gallagher was portrayed by the "gifted **Molly Shannon**. :rolleyes:

Oh this is seriously the easiest fucking game ever.

Solution #1: Who’s on board right now? Forget I asked, just list them. They’ll do fine.

Solution #2: Mix and match **anyone** who was new to the cast after the 1994 season. Molly Shannon’s name can be doubled for bonus points.

Solution #3: List every cast member from all seasons. Remove the names of the members I listed in the other thread, throw the remaining names in a hat. Pick 9! You win!

Mix and match any of them from the last five years or so. I can’t stand any of them.

I do not understand the Garrett Morris listings. That guy was _good_. Did you ever see (just as examples) his “whitey/shotgun skit,” or his “news for the hearing-impaired” bit. (My former wife laughed until she literally started crying over those two bits.)

I always felt he deserved a successful post-SNL showbiz career much more than some of those who acheived one.

</div>

Over a dozen posts, and no mention of Jan Hooks?

Kevin Nealon, Dana Carvey, Chris Farley, Adam Sander, Rob Schneider, Cheri Oteri, Julia Sweeney, Maya Rudolph, Norm MacDonald, Jon Lovitz, Chris Kattan, Will Ferrell, Ellen Cleghorne, A. Whitney Brown, Jim Breuer (why limit myself to nine? I’ll never watch the show…)

Then there are those whose work on the show I despised, but whose later efforts redeemed them in my eyes:

Phil Hartman (barring the “Colon Blow” commercial), Chris Rock, Gilbert Gottfried. I can’t decide if they should be on the list or not, since I am now favorably disposed to them.

Yep! I remember watching that night in amazement.

I’ll say this I loved Chris Elliott on Letterman & in Get A Life. I usually enjoy Janeane Garofalo as long as she’s not getting political. I consider their year on SNL worse than the first non-NotReady cast.

This is easy. Just get Dick Ebersol to pick them for you.

Melanie Hutsell  
Adam Sandler  
Norm MacDonald  
Jimmy Fallon  
Horatio Sanz  
Chris Kattan

That’s only seven but they make for a pretty intense nightmare. There were a lot of cast members that weren’t so great but these people were really annoying.
