ChevyVanMiller Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 How about four that were largely ignored at SNL, then became huge stars: Robert Downey, Jr Julia Louis-Dreyfus Ben Stiller Chris Rock (Sarah Silverman as a bonus fifth member) Btw, I don't think many of you have watched SNL in decades. All good answers above, but Keenan Thompson has been on for 16 years and carries the show most weeks with his stellar array of impersonations and recurring characters. He deserves to be in the top 4 all-time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RochesterRob Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Akroyd. Carvey. Hartman. Murphy. Runner up: Belushi. SNL the last 25 years other than Hartman doing Clinton was pretty poor.

apuszczalowski Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I wonder if the results might also vary if you specify only based on their SNL skits and time there and not anything they did outside of it. Including outside stuff might change your opinion because you like them because of their other stuff. Cant believe Keenan has been on for 16 years, knew it's been a while but not that long. Doesnt necessarily mean it's a good thing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Darrell Hammond -- unbelievably talented; his range of characters is unparalleled on the show. The Clinton/Gore years were hilarious. Norm McDonald -- too irreverent even for the show that supposedly prides itself on being just that; his Weekend Update will never be approached, much less passed. Will Ferrell -- great 4-minute sketch comedian (but yes, still intolerable in any movie); you can't ignore his longevity and many good characters. Phil Hartman -- his Frank Sinatra might be the funniest character ever Dana Carvey, Victoria Jackson, Ana Gasteyer, Chris Rock and Mike Meyers for honorable mention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
