I’m having a difficult time thinking of one single thing I liked that Ayckroyd did afterwards. Totally stumped. Meh, I was ok with Elwood Blues, I spose.
But with SNL - one of the most versatile, along with Murray, Hartman, Hader…
Heh - no love for crusty ole Brian Doyle Murray? 
Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer put in many-a fine turn, too.
Yeah, good one.
Or head of NBC programming Elliot Gould informing Captain Kirk (a very Shatner-y yet emasculated Belushi) that Flieshman’s Maragerine had just left a message for him to call them to do a commercial for them.
this derail could go on 
You mean Kazurinsky
Ah, thanks.
(couldn’t find an emoji like the old slapping head emoji from the previous board)
(this one was called “flushed”, so I guess this’ll be its replacement)
Seriously?
Ghostbusters.
Driving Miss Daisy (Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor) and so on…
I remember that I used to love Tim K when he would appear on “Weekend Update,” as a scientist/doctor who would be discussing medical conditions. (“Should you be bitten by an ownerless dog, that’s Straybies, and a foaming French poodle can give you Qu’est-ce Que-C’estbies”).
Interesting factoid: the youngest person to ever host SNL was Drew Barrymore. She was 7
I’ve probably been too chicken to catch those ones.
I’d say the greatest would be a tie between Belushi/Murray - both shining, in their own (quite different!) ways, but never out-shining the other.
It’s where I learned the word " strumpet".
I go with Dan as well.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus also the only cast member whose father was a billionaire.
A very tough choice with a very long list of candidates. But like several others, I’m going with Phil Hartman.
Why? Because he never missed.
SNL has always had something of a throw-everything-against-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks philosophy, and there’s been a lot that didn’t stick. Even the best of the best, whatever your tastes - Aykroyd, Belushi, Murray, Murphy, Farley, McKinnon, et al - have had their share of cringeworthy moments.
Some more than others, of course, but Hartman is the only one I can recall who delivered every single time. I can’t think of one exception.
No love for Billy Crystal? Remember Fernando or how about Willie and Frankie night watchmen?
Another vote for Phil Hartman.
Charles Rocket was fucking great.
Maybe you people should have been voting in the Giraffe Boards megapoll…
He was in about 3 dozen films.
Wow. I never heard about that. And the more I think about it the more I agree with Eric.
High praise indeed!
Chris Farley as the funniest. Hartman for most versatile.
It was a sad day when they died.
Going to go with Eddie Murphy for this one, as he single-handedly was the reason the show survived the Lorne-less years.
Eddie Murphy in his Mr. Roger’s spoofs sure make you laugh hard. That’s my vote
