Whom was your favorite SNL cast member & what was your favorite character ?



I loved Phil Hartman & the anal retentive chef character he created. Im fairly anal about being clean so this really cracked me up. He had a cooking show but he never actually cooked anything because he kept getting sidetracked folding and stapling the trash or some cleaning ritual. What a waste hes gone !

...

I'm going to show my age here - I worked at the TV station during the Rosanna Rosanna Danna, Jane you ignorant slut, the coneheads era of SNL. We used to take the show and cut it to fit our late sense of humor.

[ dissolve to Woman #4 in apartment, listening to the radio ]



Radio: ...considered the cleverest of all sharks. Unlike the great white, which tends to inhabit the waters of harbors and recreational beach areas, the Land Shark may strike at any place, any time. It is capable of disguising its voice, and generally preys on young, single women. Experts at the University of Miami's Oceanographic Institute suggest that the best way to scare off the shark in the event of an attack is to hit or punch the predator in the Nose. Now for the weather..



Woman #4: [ turns off radio, as the doorbell rings ] Who is it?



Muffled Voice: Sorry to disturb you, ma'am. I'm from the Jehovah's Witnesses, and thought you might be interested in a copy of our journal, "The Watchtower".



Woman #4: [ grabs a mallet and inches towards the door ] Why, I'd be very interested..



Muffled Voice: Would you mind opening the door, ma'am?



Woman #4: Certainly.



[ she unlocks the door a crack, and reaches out with the mallet to strike the Land Shark's head. Instead of the shark, a Jehovah's Witness stumbles into the apartment and drops onto the floor in front of her. ]

Dang there are so many good ones...:wah:

John B, Dan A, E. Murphy, Rosanna Danna "Gilda Radner"... Loved her.. C. Chase, J. Curtain.. Phil Hartman was excellent also.. D. Farley, Mike Myers, Billy Crystal "Fernando, Norm McDonald, Dana Carvey, Collin Quin, Dennis Miller, Bill Murray,Steve Martin, Martin Short.... and list goes on...:wah: :wah: It has always been the go to show for up and coming comedians.. of both sexes..!!

Love whats his name(Will Ferrel), and whats her name who were the CHEERLEADERS.. and "Mary Margaret: and Disgusting "PAT"

I would have to say Mike Myers. I think that I met him once, too, and if it was him, he's an absolute sweetheart!

One night about nine or ten years ago, I was coming out of a K-Mart in Philadelphia, PA. This K-Mart was right on a major route in the City, Roosevelt Boulevard, which can also be used to get to the airport and whatnot.

Anyway, I was very tired, and my shopping cart was full. I was coming out of the store with my back to the doors -- you know, tiredly pushing the doors open with my back while I was wheeling the full cart out.

Someone grabbed the door off of my back and held it open for me. I turned and said, "Oh, thank you." A man smiled at me and said, "You're welcome."

When I was walking away, I thought "Wait a minute. That looked like that actor from Austin Powers" (Mike Myers; Austin Powers was a newer movie then). To this day, I swear that it was Mike Myers that took the door off of my back and held it open for me like that.

My all time favorite SNL sketches were John Bulushi's Samari skits. They were hysterical.

Any of the original "Not Ready for Prime Time Players" ... very few since then have had the talent to pull of skits like they did. They were original and ground breaking..
