The internet keeps debating who is the best SNL cast member of all time and I’m here to hear the comments.

Saturday night live is one of the oldest television shows. As the sketch comedy series is currently in its 48th season of welcoming great guests and musical guests You can’t help but look at sets from previous generations and wonder who the better actor is. sl never had. Well, the internet weighs in on the GOAT and I’m here for all the entertainment commentary.

look that Saturday night live had 163 comedians in 48 years, how do you pick who is the greatest cast member of all time? Since we don’t have a magic mirror to tell us the answer, I guess social media will have to do the trick. SiriusXM’s Eric Alper directed Chirping ask the fans who is the tallest sl cast member ever, and the comments poured in. Some have made a list like twitter user who provided their top seven:

This listing is perfect! Eddie Murphy became a superstar in Saturday night live . During his tenure, she played such iconic characters as Mr. Robinson, Gumby and Velvet Jones. Dan Aykroyd was among the first sl movie, the brothers of the blues, with Giovanni Belushi. Dana Carvey and Will Ferrell were also total rioters. And we can’t forget the ladies of sl like Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon, who made audiences laugh in the mid-2000s to 2020s. Also, the late Gilda Radner was a true icon known for playing wacky characters like Roseanne Roseannadanna and Emily Litella. These seven people really helped make it happen sl what is it today

Another Twitter user gave a shout out to Phil Hartman and did so using a meme of him in character thawed caveman avocado . To take a look at:

Many fans have approved of this choice and it’s easy to see why. Phil Hartman was one of the best artists around SNL. In addition to making the audience laugh by playing the unfrozen caveman’s lawyer, he also gave one of the best presidential prints through his version of Bill Clinton. Hartman, who tragically passed away in 1998, left a legacy of laughter that we will always remember. As for the GOAT debate, there is also a Answer stating Will Ferrell should be mentioned more as he was arguably the most successful sl:

Will Ferrell Brought His A Game As Spartan Artist, Streamed Legend Harry Caray, Alex Trebek Celebrity danger! George W. Bush and Dr. Beaman. And who could forget the legendary cowbell sketch? He had versatility and left a lasting impression on audiences with nearly every character he played. Other peek guaranteed that a certain “larger than life” actor would be recognized:

This Twitter user’s frustration makes sense because John Belushi has caused a stir sl from 1975 to 1979. (Perhaps this generation doesn’t know him too well?) In addition to having starred in the brothers of the blues Along with Dan Aykroyd, Belushi has impersonated various celebrities, including Joe Cocker, Marlon Brando and even Elizabeth Taylor. Nor can we forget his work on the classic and timeless commercial skit “Little Chocolate Donuts”. It’s true they don’t make comedians like Belushi anymore. but another username prefers to think of the best actors and actresses of this last generation:

While this may seem like a partial list, the replies to this post agree that Kenan Thompson is one of the funniest actors around. Saturday night live until today. previous one Everything the actor has been there for a while and explained it He’s been inside sl for a long time because sketch comedy is rare these days. Meanwhile, Kristen Wiig and Amy Poehler also played some hilarious and memorable characters on the show., and both had successful careers in film and television. In a single post, another Twitter user quoted little-recognized actor Nasim Pedrad:

In 2014, Pedrad decided he was done sl so that it can play a role in mulaneywhich was created from the first sl Writer John Mulaney. Unfortunately, the show was canceled after just one season. However, this was not the end of Pedrad’s career, as he created the play named after him Chad, with the second season airing on The Roku Channel. Following the trend of spotlighting 2000s actors, another fan made sure to vote for Horatio Sanz for his comedic timing in all of his sketches:

The Chilean-born American actor was part of the cast from 1998 to 2006 and, in fact, was considered the first Hispanic member of the series. You might remember the groundbreaking character of him, laughing while playing roles like Debbie Downer and giving memorable celebrity impersonations of Rosie O’Donnell and more. That’s okay, but some would say he doesn’t compare to Chris Farley or his infamous chippendales sketch :

It’s hard to pick a GOAT with so many big stars like Chris Farley, Eddie Murphy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Phil Hartman, Gilda Radner, John Belushi and many more. The debate will likely continue over time and I will always be here for all the discussions and the whirlwind of memories that come with it.
