Poll question: Funniest Saturday Night Live Performer

From any era.

1. Chris Rock

[THUNDER HANDS]

2. he's hysterical

But he wasn't that great when he was on SNL. He got a lot better once he left.

6. I agree

but I still found him funny on Saturday Night Live.

3. Tim Meadows

n/t

[FlashHarry]

4. Will Ferrell, hands down. N/T

[displacedvermoter]

5. "Alfalfa is Dead"

Eddie Murphy cracked me up so much. He's never been funnier, to my mind.

[Bossy Monkey]

7. Phil Hartman

Steve Martin was a frequent host, but was never a cast member.

[Thor_MN]

10. Can you picture Phil Hartman as Cheney?

He would have been perfect doing the "talking through gritted teeth" thing that Cheney has going.

8. chris farley

MY NAME IS MATT FOLEY AND I LIVE IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!

9. SNL absolutely sucks! It has for a very long time.

Lorne Michaels peaked with "Kids in the Hall."
(Canadians just seem to be more comically gifted than Americans)

[NightTrain]

11. It's "Radner" and "Aykroyd," by the way

Just thought you'd like to know!

12. Phil Hartman

[11 Bravo]

13. John Belushi was a comic genius

with an unfortunate taste for speedballs. It in no way diminishes his body of work.

[Twillig]

14. I'm disturbed that Chevy Chase is listed

and Bill Murray isn't. I wasn't going to vote for Murray, but ffs: Chevy Chase?

[ShaneGR]

15. I agree with you about Murray, BUT, I like Chevey too

Those skits with him as Gerald Ford were friggin hilarious.

[LuLu550]

16. hey you young whipper snappers, it was Gilda!

Gilda was the best...timing, the characters...geeze...
too bad most of you never saw her do ehr thing. You only get the "best of" bits.

[Kahuna]

17. Phil Carvey, Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz era..

Honorable mentions to Cheri Oteri and Chris Katan.
