DAMN YOU ANDY SAMBERG! He could go quiet / loud as well as Ferrell, & had no shortage of characters.
Chris is your ideal match if you're seeking a guy who will love you a lot, make you laugh, and never expect much of anything in return. Tina Fey.
Samberg, Hader, Myers, Sudekis, Keenan Thompson, Pohler, Fey, Fallon, Armisen, Moynihan. Dan Aykroyd: his manic but intensely focused energy is all over the first years of SNL, & the writers knew how to use him so well. I like Andy Samberg, Will Forte, Seth Meyers, Tina Fey and such, but not as much as the others. Kenan Thompson: year after year this guy has provided a safety net for me. Interesting to see so many recent cast members on the lists and mine include a lot of them too. I mean, can someone seriously point me to a spot where he breaks? Bill Murray - This one is probably obvious to most people.
But they felt really great when you were making them.
Aykroyd could easily have fallen into a "straight man"-utility role, but he is just too talented of a comedic force for that.
First of all, let's acknowledge that Stefon is the best thing about current SNL. I look forward to his videos every week, Andy Samberg, Bill Hader, Will Forte, Kyle Mooney, Will Ferrel, John Belushi, Adam Sandler, Amy Poehler, Chris Parnell, Ratchel Dratch. You wouldn't want to denigrate her by hitting on her maybe you could just propose the moment you first meet?
Oh Maya. Contributed comedy, that is.
Search, watch, and cook every single Tasty recipe and video ever - all in one place! It's a classic recipe for nerdy jailbait. Will Ferrell goes to bizarre places when doing comedy, & always managed to keep it light & funny. That same quality that got Chris fired twice is exactly what would make him an awesome A+ boyfriend for some loud-ass girl who wants to be the center of attention. I always found her incredibly sexy and sometimes goofy. Damon got fired from SNL for going off script. Andy Samberg. AS IF you haven't already imagined that before. Sigh. Not saying others didn't, but you really got it. California residents can opt out of "sales" of personal data. Rich Hall (1984-85). This is a man who would charm you, soften your soul, bite your mouth, break your heart, make you laugh so hard you'll actually stop breathing and die, bring you back to life, and then go on to a career of blinding high points and crushing lows, eventually becoming the only former cast member ever banned for life from Saturday Night Live.
Imminently crushable, and yet probably secretly a total mack daddy who would inevitably leave you for someone younger and January Jonesier, and YET you just can't help but make out with him again a few years later when he comes crawling back all helpless and sorry and handsome. Reporting on what you care about. Victoria, what happened? Sold. Lofty goals! Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts, He was a giant and he went by the name Andre. Martin Short - another one from the "dark ages", but like Murphy he was a beacon of light. He came up with some of the most unique characters & sketches the show has had, & played them with confidence & polish. It took me a season to warm up to Will, but his characters were fun and original.
His boyish charm turned him into a big SNL star quickly, but he did some very weird stuff, which made me like him as a comedian quickly as well. Her lack of mainstream sex appeal is what I suspect has held her back (I think she's cute as heck though). Only if you're not staring into the soulful, sex puppy eyes of Mr. Chevy Chase circa 1975. I'm really glad he had as long a run as he did, mostly because he was funny the whole time, but now also because post-SNL didn't happen for him. ANYWAY, just look at this dreamgirl! Another one season guy from that oddball season 10. The irrepressible laughter that sprung from Fallon during pretty much every episode that he ever appeared on is just the cherry on top of the hotness cupcake that is JFall. Imagine if someone you truly respect and admire who also just happens to be one of the most beautiful women on the planet was in front of your face? Chris Farley: I'll never forget the first appearance I saw of Farley, on Weekend Update, as Tom Arnold: I was slack-jawed wondering who the hell this fat guy was who was doing this screamingly funny bit with Victoria Jackson.
3. Truth bomb: Garth was 100x the more bangable of the Wayne's World duo. Never forget: Killam made his debut on Amanda Bynes' The Amanda Show in which he was an adorable high school student, and then he grew up to be an adorable adult.
Vanessa would definitely let you call her Nessa and she'd laugh at your jokes even though hers are all much funnier.
Dana Carvey.
I loved his run on the show, & it wasn't until later I learned who Adam McKay was, & now always look for clues that McKay was behind the madness when watching Ferrell's sketches. His infuriating dismissal of SNL & shitty movies over the years make me file him with Mike Myers as an SNL favorite who went on to be a major disappointment. Gary can get it anytime. No order, I can't rank them. Obviously the 1985 season wasn't a "ridiculously handsome" contest. So there's that.
Keep up with the latest daily buzz with the BuzzFeed Daily newsletter! The thick-framed glasses?! Dare you call it hot?
Who wants a dude whose going to steal the spotlight all the time? But no order: Will Ferrell, Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Fred Armisen, Jason Sudeikis, and I can't think of any more. Fred Armisen(He's just so awesome in evry character he does), Jimmy Fallon, Bill Hader, Phil Hartman(he was incredibly talented), Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg(love the digital shorts), Dana Carvey, Will Forte and I know it's bizarre but I gotta throw in new member Kyle Mooney because I am a major fan of his youtube/goodneighbor stuff. Norm MacDonald - By far my favorite WU anchor, and probably my favorite stand-up.
Sometimes all it takes is a dirty joke or 800000 to get it started and then the next thing you know you're thinking a lot about Chris Rock in that way. All jokes aside, how many gals have done the MKG look for Halloween so they can secretly wear a sexy costume without getting shit for it? Well my top 2 are Bill Hader and Will Forte. Those knee socks? and idk, I just like her. Totally adorable. Lots, that's how many.
Of the current cast, I think Kate McKinnon could well be one of the "greats" and I think Pete Davidson has a shit ton of potential. Throw any positive adjective you want at her: sexy, pretty, funny, cute, beautiful, charming, etc. Kroeger's most famous sketch was one where he and Julia Louis-Dreyfus played Danny and Marie Osmond and end up totally mugging down. I can't remember one. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Laraine Newman, Phil Hartman, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Will Ferrell, Martin Short, Rick Moranis, Andy Samberg. See Nebraska if you haven't. Hader forobvious reasons, and Forte because he is always doing weird, out-there characters and committing 100% to characters and NEVER breaking. Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Fred Armisen, Amy Poehler, wow yeh this is so gonna be the cast that was on during my highschool years.. Chevy Chase Norm MacDonald Chris Farley Adam Sandler Will Ferrell Rachel Dratch Amy Poehler Fred Armisen Bill Hader Kyle Mooney. Mike Myers: I eventually developed a distaste for Myers post-SNL, & for years would look at his "Best Of" DVD sitting on the shelf & think I should get rid of it, but ultimately decided that he was just too damned good on the show. Murphy was both the most hilarious man alive and a smokin' eligible bachelor during his tenure on Saturday Night Live. Aykroyd didn't usually make me belly-laugh like my other favorites, but he is fascinating to watch. Great list, especially your inclusion of Norm and Darrell. Spade would probably annoy the hell out of you the first time you met, then he would keep you up nights thinking about him all the time. He sprayed that stuff all over the SNL stage like a fire hose. Oteri & Ferrell came up together on the show, & Ferrell's incredible post-SNL success is something Oteri should have enjoyed as well. Your heart would probably explode. is friends with and he's a total dude bro who talks about football and food and seems to have no interest in anything carnal or, well, interesting, and then one night you drink a case of Coors Light together and the next thing you know mistakes are made. Chris Farley Bill Hader Will Ferrell Dana Carvey Adam Sandler Mike Myers Kristen Wiig Phil Hartman Tina Fey Fred Armison.
Will Forte. His raised eyebrows & slightly open mouth alone are enough to make me laugh anymore. Gail managed to make the best of her season playing Vicki the valley girl and co-hosting Weekend Update. and it will stick. Rachel Dratch (1999-2006).
ME TOO. I adore your description of Cheri Oteri, it's too perfect. They're both legendary in my book. Controversial? Andy Samberg, the MVP of late-aughts SNL, is also just the kind of boy you want to take home to your mother, who he will then seduce and end up sleeping with behind your back. Eddie Murphy: as a kid, a new, live SNL during Murphy's run was an Event: Murphy was not just the most exciting thing going on in comedy, he was one of the most exciting things going on in popular culture, period. Sadly, Brooks gets lopped off another list. ANYWAY the reason why this is happening, other than her obvious comedic chops, is that Nasim is underrated and is as flaming hot as hell itself. edit: I forgot Andy Samberg!
It was recently revealed that Nasim is going to star in her own Lorne Michaels produced comedy pilot following a "group of young people and their hijinks," written by former SNL writer John Mulaney the man who co-created Stefon along with Bill Hader. This highly scientific list was determined using a complex algorithm involving: foxy looks, charming personalities, and determining how good these funny men and women would be at making out. If there's a book about Murphy's impact during his SNL run, I'd be interested in reading it. About Vicki? Some men just want to watch our hearts burn. This is absolutely NOT "who are the best cast members" but rather who are your own personal favorites.

In other words: every girl's type. See the "Who shot Buckwheat" conclusion skit. She dated Bill Murray, she managed to be bitingly witty without seeming annoyingly bitter, and had a perfect face that no one would ever forget. Seriously though, even though he later went on to do some terrible (The Adventures of Pluto Nash, really?) Saturday Night Live. Sarah Silverman, carrying on a long tradition of the most fetching SNL lads and lasses only lasting for one season. Chris Farley because he's awesome in every way and dominated sketches. Sarah Silverman's face. He's a great impersonator who does amaaaaaazing voices that sound just like the real thing.
All with a wink and a smile. One of the more edgy SNL players on a show that really hasn't been edgy in many years, Forte has a unique place in SNL history.
He's also a comedic revelation on Saturday Night Live every time he gets a chance to appear. I think Rachel is every bit as funny as some of the now more famous snl women, maybe even more. Frankie and Willie was great, the synchronized swimming short. Most importantly, there's this video of him performing Robyn's "Call Your Girlfriend" in the SNL writer's room and it's as good as porn for anyone with a personality. SNL aired Ben Stiller's short film The Hustler of Money in 1987, and two years later he was offered a job as a writer and featured performer.
We hold major institutions accountable and expose wrongdoing. The legendary Belushi (RIP) may not be a heartthrob by traditional standards, but this is precisely the dude one might roll their eyes at around 6pm and find themselves agreeing to marry by midnight.
New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Her small frame & loud voice were topped off by her eyes that always looked a smidge short of cross-eyed.
Dude also looks sharp as hell in a suit, as evidenced often by Perspectives with Lionel Osbourne. I hope none of us are ever in front of Amy Poehler and no one's heart ever explodes. Press J to jump to the feed.
But kudos to you, I respect it. He's on a short list for the most calories burned laughing at his stuff. Jimmy Fallon: immensely talented, & I've never had a problem with SNL players breaking character, which is the only criticism I've seen of Fallon that has any weight to it. Thanks for all the good times, SNL cast cuties.
While not a particularly crowded field, Oteri was squarely funny first, & female second. Whoever else is coming & going, if Thompson is still in the cast, it's going to be a good season.
Yeah, me too. But also we would have been jealous because probably no one will ever love us with the kind of love that Seth Meyers can give? Obsessed with travel? Cheri is a tiny firecracker with enough energy to power anyone's motor and who doesn't love a cheerleader? But still, young Ben Stiller's smokin' jawline had an indelible impact on the surface of many young hearts.
A member of the famous Groundlings comedy troupe that is a breeding ground for SNL talent (including Ferrell, Rudolph, Wiig, Jon Lovitz, Phil Hartman, and many more), Oteri was cast unexpectedly at Chris Kattan's audition ostensibly because she is super hilarious but maybe also because she is a super-qt. And then you'd get to live together and make each other cookies and pies and casseroles and listen to records and basically just live the perfect life together forever. Debbie Downer was classic. brilliant list minus Kenan. Discover unique things to do, places to eat, and sights to see in the best destinations around the world with Bring Me!

Don't we all kind of 'ship' Amy Poehler / Seth Meyers and sort of wish that he'd been single when she and Will divorced so we could imagine them being in love forever? Bill Murray is the universe's ultimate example of how people can exert charm and charisma to such a powerful extent that you actually forget to, like, study their faces or worry about bros that look like Ryan Gosling, or think about anything other than how much you desperately want to spend time with and hold hands with and be heartbroken by the likes of Bill "No One Will Ever Believe You" Murray. Let VJack's irrefutable hotness be a warning to us all that we should never really fully trust our carnal desires. Buh-bye!
Aykroyd was SNL's youngest cast-member for its first four seasons and the intensity he brought to the show is probably unmatched ever since. Mary Gross (1980-1985). One of my favorite things about digital shorts is just seeing him bust a move in the background, he gets so into it, Mike Myers - I just really wanna get high with him, Bill Hader - Sometimes he'll mouth other people's lines as they're saying them and I just find it cute, Jimmy Fallon - I never minded when he kept breaking, I find it kind of endearing that he finds his cast members as funny as he does. I loved his Doug Henning impression. Her Alfalfa impression to go opposite Eddie Murphy's Buckwheat was great. Can you even look at him without feeling hot under the collar?! Who are your top 10 favorite cast members of all time? She seems like she doesn't give a fuck. 4. Sarah Silverman and inappropriate jokes that you can only laugh / fantasize about behind closed doors. Will Forte: there are very few sketches I ever searched for desperately online to re-watch, & Forte's "Spelling Bee" sketch was the most sought-after. This woman is so fucking pretty.
His portrayal of Burt Reynolds in Celeb Jeopardy is classic, and his monologue from when he hosted cracks me up every time. Part of the cast hired to youngify SNL in 1985, but also part of the crew unceremoniously fired the following season. There's a reason this little man has a child with Playboy's Jillian Grace, ok? She might end up hurting you when she falls in love with Gene Wilder at first sight and ends your marriage, but hell, it would all be worth it. REAL TALK: Kattan's dad is named Kip Kong and was on Reno 911! Parnell holds the dubious honor of being the only SNL cast member to be fired by Lorne Michaels twice he was "laid off" in 2001 due to budget cuts but re-hired halfway through the following season, and then he was again let go due to budget cuts in 2006. Chris Kattan: a wiry, bug-eyed guy that gave 100% is enough to make an impact on the show, but Kattan also had crack timing & a voice that sounded as crazy as he looked. Yo, Will Ferrell is six foot three inches tall, his face manages to emanate both masculinity and loving kindness, and he is one of the funniest men who has ever walked the earth / Saturday night. Will Forte (2002-2010). "Could youspell the word, please?" ), but he was a tall, dark, and handsome drink of water while he lasted. Mike Myers. The man was born to be a mouth-watering combo-deal of sexiness and ludicrous hilarity.
The definitive countdown of all of the most crushworthy Saturday Night Sweeties.
Additionally, Hader's self-effacing manner and giggle-packed delivery belie the fact that he and Stefon are so dang cute you can't even really talk about it.
Gail is no valley girl IRL, but she probably still tastes like cherry chapstick and bubblegum. Joan Cusack, sister to John, is one of an elite group of SNLers who is much more famous for lots of things she did after SNL than she is for her time on the show. So if you're a warm blooded human and you've ever dreamed about getting sweet nothings whispered in your ear by President Obama (or Denzel, or Will Smith, or Jay-Z), I'm sure Jay would be happy to oblige. Naturally funny. When she was on the show, though, she was at her own personal Peak Hotness level and basically blasted away the 1981 competition for makeoutability. This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google. His posture, timing, & vocal inflections are highlighted by camera direction that understands Thompson's talents. A man has never lassoed the intersection of ludicrous charisma, humor, and jerk-ass magnetism like this man. That schoolgirl uniform?
Sketches he was in were often exercises in waiting between Kattan's explosive, hilarious lines. Maya's bridesmaid Kristen Wiig, on the other hand, is someone who you're going to hit on immediately and never stop hitting on for the rest of your life. I like this thread because sometimes I just like cast members for dumb reasons and sometimes that likeability just makes me find them funnier. Fred Armisen. For example, I don't think Chris Farley was the absolute best cast member, but he was so lovable and his personality shone through in all his sketches. Christopher Guest (84-85). Cutest girl currently on SNL, easy. Mary Gross had a super casual tomboy charm going for her, signaling that she's down for ANYTHING, up to / including: putting up with your friends, driving over the speed limit, roller coasters, going on super silly dates, and acting out that secret fantasy you've never told anyone about. Because only Seth Meyers can love as Seth Meyers loves.
I love impressions where they add some additional character traits in addition to being a good impression. Yeah, that one. But Joanie was obviously funny and charming as hell, not to even delve into the details of the intoxicating shapes she makes with her tiny weird mouth. A guy you want to see succeed. Will Ferrell: his brand of manic, sometimes dark comedy managed to fit so well into SNL's format. Like, Will Forte just has a really kind face and I feel like he's the kind of guy who'll stand on his stoop talking to his senile 90 year old neighbor whose wife just passed away for half an hour. So awesome. Jan helped save SNL and guide many young ladies on their quests to figure out how to come across as not worrying one bit about whether you look hot while actually looking super hot. No offense to other boyfriends worldwide, but it's pretty clear that Fallon would be a better boyfriend than you. Sarah Silverman's voice. Those people have obviously never witnessed the brilliance of one Ms. Jane Curtin, SNL cast member from 1975-1980 and a true goddess of the three most important 'l's in the universe: love, lust, and laughter. As she nailed most things. One might think "it's not possible to be one of the most beautiful humans in the world and also one of the most funny."
The mind acrobatics that it requires to contemplate the fact that this woman is the daughter of Chris "Cabin Boy" Elliott will give you a migraine. Amy Poehler - in Mindy Kaling's book, she talked about about how no one at SNL really talked to her and they were all kind of cliquey and Amy was the only one who went out of her way to try and include her in things, Phil Hartman - ditto, people always talk about what a nice guy he was, Rachel Dratch - I find her adorable. To put it succinctly, there are two kinds of people in the world: people who wish they were Tina Fey, and people who wish that Tina Fey was their girlfriend. No order, but there's kindof an order. This is the woman that stole Fred Armisen from Peggy Olsen, so she must not be discounted. The recent revelation that Janeane Garofalo identifies as asexual and has a celibate relationship with her boyfriend has had zero bearing on her standing as the goddess of dream '90s girlfriends, a gal who would be the perfect partner for all of the pot-smoking, whiskey-drinking, laugh-so-hard-your-tummy-hurts nights in you always imagined adult relationships would be full of. Don't worry, you're not the only one. Molls was never really a sex kitten per se, but when she put on her Mary Katherine Gallagher persona everything changed.
Those white cotton underwears? GOOD LOOKS and MAD CHARM on the other hand?
It's a little difficult to talk about wanting to make out with Amy Poehler because so many of us look up to her, and it's sort of like wanting to make out with your professor or your friend's cool older sister or actually, now that I think about it, all of this is totally hot. Rocket ended up getting fired after dropping an f-bomb on live TV (sound familiar? He left after four episodes because they wouldn't allow him to make more short films (oh, if only he had been cast in the Digital Shorts era!).
Question: is it possible to look at Will Forte and not wish you were kissing him? Just imagine that wild and crazy focus being directed towards your romantic pleasure. How did one human go from being so sexy and funny to being the weird amalgamation of crazy and mean that you are today? I guess Brooks is 11th. He didn't go on to the fame of some of his co-stars but maybe that's because the man was putting his heart and soul into making our Saturday nights funnier. In no particular order.. Bill Hader, Jason Sudeikis, Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, Chris Farley, Norm Macdonald, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Dan Aykroyd, and Brooks Wheelan.
Gilda was the best of the best on the og SNL cast, a woman who would come to represent everything good and funny and original about the variety show's special brand of comedy. Sometimes when she has to eat in sketches, she eats like a little chipmunk, Andy Samberg - he's like a really good dancer. Ana Gasteyer. I don't want to know the people who wouldn't spend a night at the Roxbury with this ridiculous man. Dropping the dirty language on network television may have lost Jenny fans among the SNL producers, but she solidified her place in the heart of dirty-language-lovers worldwide. Listen: all of these SNL hotties are super-hotties, but if you could choose just one Saturday Night boy to actually take out for pizza and making out in the back row of a movie and then falling in love 4evs, you'd probably choose Mr. Bill Hader. The guy was funny, energetic, young, & unlike anything I'd seen before. Feel free rank them if you want, but you don't have to put them in order if that's too difficult. Ana Gasteyer (1996-2002). One of the most famous and successful former SNL cast members ever, Murphy was a highlight of a weird time in the show's history and also a highlight of weird fantasies one may or may have had about de-cardiganing "Mr. Robinson" in a heated moment. / "No." Sarah Silverman. Sarah Silverman's ongoing hotness. Really funny guy post snl as well. A girl next door for the ages.
I was pretty young when he was on, so maybe that's why I have a soft spot for his awkward nerdyness. You may not have ever thought of Dana as a hunk when he was dressed up in his Church Chat getup, but the man is actually totally adorable.
Candy Sweeney! And yet! As you wish you were nailed.
Hall joined the cast of Saturday Night Live during its 198586 season, after his success in Hughes teen classics The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles. Thompson's long tenure on the show has allowed him to explore his full range in the show's format, & as a viewer, allowed me to develop a deep appreciation of him. No one, that's who. Dan Aykroyd. He's a good actor too. Norm MacDonald. I encourage you to explain your reasoning.
Downey may have not really made his name on the show but, as we ALL know, he went on to be inexpressibly sexy, troubled, and awesome for the rest of his career and, hopefully, for the rest of time itself. Also the anchor before Dennis miller took over the next year. He'd be on the news and do a bunch of wordplay bits that were really fun. He was instantly memorable, & his must-watch sketches never let up on how over-the-top he was, with the exception of his earnest, bashful character, which made him endearing as well as a comedic tornado. Bill Hader - Great characters, good impressions, and genuinely likable. Is it possible to hear the name "Seth Meyers" and not hear that SNL announcer voice? Have you SEEN Doug Butabi? I'm sure I can't think of ten that won't overlap with the "best" - but here's a few of my favorites that might not be on anyone else's list (I love Phil Hartman, Will Ferrell, Bill Hader, Tiny Fey etc - these are a few less popular favorites). Pharoah joined the SNL cast in 2010, bringing his excellent Barack Obama along with him. You are probably one of the only people in the world who would include four SNL cast members from the early 1980s on any "best" or "favorite" list. Don't underestimate the samurai. If you went out on a date with Dana he'd be all shy at first, and then before you knew it he'd be all hands-in-pantsy and love you forever. Remember when she shook those weights? Phil Hartman. Soulless assholes, that's who. Eddie Murphy - He may have been on during the "dark ages" of SNL, but that doesn't diminish his talent. I'm glad she's been successful post snl.
and his mom posed for Playboy.
In that contest, he stayed on the show forever and ever, collecting handsomeness trophies and scoring digits.
Before you knew it he'll have squirmed his way into your heart and you'll spend all of your nights making out and playing with his hair and straightening his ties. JLD's hotness is like a reverse bell curve in which this '82-'85 stage was ludicrous in its levels of foxiness, and then took a frizzy, plutonic dip during the Seinfeld era, and now has unexpectedly rocketed back up to SNL-like levels on HBO's Veep. His poker face & unremarkable looks helped secure the idea that you really never knew what he was going to do, & he could & would do anything that met S&P's criteria. He is now a legitimate leading man of sorts, so you don't have to be embarrassed to admit that you would have let his Robert Goulet serenade your pants right off. Gail Matthius had the unfortunate luck of being cast on SNL during its low point in 1981, after producer Lorne Michaels resigned taking most of the writing staff with him. 2. My favorite Forte sketch in a crowded field, which includes every episode of "The Falconer".
Ugh, Jason Sudeikis, why?! Slate joined SNL in 2009 and immediately dropped an f-bomb in her debut sketch, "Biker Chick Chat." Let's be frank: Paul Brittain never really contributed much to the two seasons of SNL he was on. That's the kind of guy Rob Riggle is. Meadows held the record for the longest tenure on SNL at the time of his retirement and there's a good reason he stuck around for so long: he was one of the most consistent and reliable comedic performers in the show's history.
Chris is your ideal match if you're seeking a guy who will love you a lot, make you laugh, and never expect much of anything in return. Tina Fey.
Samberg, Hader, Myers, Sudekis, Keenan Thompson, Pohler, Fey, Fallon, Armisen, Moynihan. Dan Aykroyd: his manic but intensely focused energy is all over the first years of SNL, & the writers knew how to use him so well. I like Andy Samberg, Will Forte, Seth Meyers, Tina Fey and such, but not as much as the others. Kenan Thompson: year after year this guy has provided a safety net for me. Interesting to see so many recent cast members on the lists and mine include a lot of them too. I mean, can someone seriously point me to a spot where he breaks? Bill Murray - This one is probably obvious to most people.
But they felt really great when you were making them.
Aykroyd could easily have fallen into a "straight man"-utility role, but he is just too talented of a comedic force for that.
First of all, let's acknowledge that Stefon is the best thing about current SNL. I look forward to his videos every week, Andy Samberg, Bill Hader, Will Forte, Kyle Mooney, Will Ferrel, John Belushi, Adam Sandler, Amy Poehler, Chris Parnell, Ratchel Dratch. You wouldn't want to denigrate her by hitting on her maybe you could just propose the moment you first meet?
Oh Maya. Contributed comedy, that is.
Search, watch, and cook every single Tasty recipe and video ever - all in one place! It's a classic recipe for nerdy jailbait. Will Ferrell goes to bizarre places when doing comedy, & always managed to keep it light & funny. That same quality that got Chris fired twice is exactly what would make him an awesome A+ boyfriend for some loud-ass girl who wants to be the center of attention. I always found her incredibly sexy and sometimes goofy. Damon got fired from SNL for going off script. Andy Samberg. AS IF you haven't already imagined that before. Sigh. Not saying others didn't, but you really got it. California residents can opt out of "sales" of personal data. Rich Hall (1984-85). This is a man who would charm you, soften your soul, bite your mouth, break your heart, make you laugh so hard you'll actually stop breathing and die, bring you back to life, and then go on to a career of blinding high points and crushing lows, eventually becoming the only former cast member ever banned for life from Saturday Night Live.
Imminently crushable, and yet probably secretly a total mack daddy who would inevitably leave you for someone younger and January Jonesier, and YET you just can't help but make out with him again a few years later when he comes crawling back all helpless and sorry and handsome. Reporting on what you care about. Victoria, what happened? Sold. Lofty goals! Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts, He was a giant and he went by the name Andre. Martin Short - another one from the "dark ages", but like Murphy he was a beacon of light. He came up with some of the most unique characters & sketches the show has had, & played them with confidence & polish. It took me a season to warm up to Will, but his characters were fun and original.
His boyish charm turned him into a big SNL star quickly, but he did some very weird stuff, which made me like him as a comedian quickly as well. Her lack of mainstream sex appeal is what I suspect has held her back (I think she's cute as heck though). Only if you're not staring into the soulful, sex puppy eyes of Mr. Chevy Chase circa 1975. I'm really glad he had as long a run as he did, mostly because he was funny the whole time, but now also because post-SNL didn't happen for him. ANYWAY, just look at this dreamgirl! Another one season guy from that oddball season 10. The irrepressible laughter that sprung from Fallon during pretty much every episode that he ever appeared on is just the cherry on top of the hotness cupcake that is JFall. Imagine if someone you truly respect and admire who also just happens to be one of the most beautiful women on the planet was in front of your face? Chris Farley: I'll never forget the first appearance I saw of Farley, on Weekend Update, as Tom Arnold: I was slack-jawed wondering who the hell this fat guy was who was doing this screamingly funny bit with Victoria Jackson.
3. Truth bomb: Garth was 100x the more bangable of the Wayne's World duo. Never forget: Killam made his debut on Amanda Bynes' The Amanda Show in which he was an adorable high school student, and then he grew up to be an adorable adult.
Vanessa would definitely let you call her Nessa and she'd laugh at your jokes even though hers are all much funnier.
Dana Carvey.
I loved his run on the show, & it wasn't until later I learned who Adam McKay was, & now always look for clues that McKay was behind the madness when watching Ferrell's sketches. His infuriating dismissal of SNL & shitty movies over the years make me file him with Mike Myers as an SNL favorite who went on to be a major disappointment. Gary can get it anytime. No order, I can't rank them. Obviously the 1985 season wasn't a "ridiculously handsome" contest. So there's that.
Keep up with the latest daily buzz with the BuzzFeed Daily newsletter! The thick-framed glasses?! Dare you call it hot?
Who wants a dude whose going to steal the spotlight all the time? But no order: Will Ferrell, Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Fred Armisen, Jason Sudeikis, and I can't think of any more. Fred Armisen(He's just so awesome in evry character he does), Jimmy Fallon, Bill Hader, Phil Hartman(he was incredibly talented), Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg(love the digital shorts), Dana Carvey, Will Forte and I know it's bizarre but I gotta throw in new member Kyle Mooney because I am a major fan of his youtube/goodneighbor stuff. Norm MacDonald - By far my favorite WU anchor, and probably my favorite stand-up.
Sometimes all it takes is a dirty joke or 800000 to get it started and then the next thing you know you're thinking a lot about Chris Rock in that way. All jokes aside, how many gals have done the MKG look for Halloween so they can secretly wear a sexy costume without getting shit for it? Well my top 2 are Bill Hader and Will Forte. Those knee socks? and idk, I just like her. Totally adorable. Lots, that's how many.
Of the current cast, I think Kate McKinnon could well be one of the "greats" and I think Pete Davidson has a shit ton of potential. Throw any positive adjective you want at her: sexy, pretty, funny, cute, beautiful, charming, etc. Kroeger's most famous sketch was one where he and Julia Louis-Dreyfus played Danny and Marie Osmond and end up totally mugging down. I can't remember one. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Laraine Newman, Phil Hartman, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Will Ferrell, Martin Short, Rick Moranis, Andy Samberg. See Nebraska if you haven't. Hader forobvious reasons, and Forte because he is always doing weird, out-there characters and committing 100% to characters and NEVER breaking. Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Fred Armisen, Amy Poehler, wow yeh this is so gonna be the cast that was on during my highschool years.. Chevy Chase Norm MacDonald Chris Farley Adam Sandler Will Ferrell Rachel Dratch Amy Poehler Fred Armisen Bill Hader Kyle Mooney. Mike Myers: I eventually developed a distaste for Myers post-SNL, & for years would look at his "Best Of" DVD sitting on the shelf & think I should get rid of it, but ultimately decided that he was just too damned good on the show. Murphy was both the most hilarious man alive and a smokin' eligible bachelor during his tenure on Saturday Night Live. Aykroyd didn't usually make me belly-laugh like my other favorites, but he is fascinating to watch. Great list, especially your inclusion of Norm and Darrell. Spade would probably annoy the hell out of you the first time you met, then he would keep you up nights thinking about him all the time. He sprayed that stuff all over the SNL stage like a fire hose. Oteri & Ferrell came up together on the show, & Ferrell's incredible post-SNL success is something Oteri should have enjoyed as well. Your heart would probably explode. is friends with and he's a total dude bro who talks about football and food and seems to have no interest in anything carnal or, well, interesting, and then one night you drink a case of Coors Light together and the next thing you know mistakes are made. Chris Farley Bill Hader Will Ferrell Dana Carvey Adam Sandler Mike Myers Kristen Wiig Phil Hartman Tina Fey Fred Armison.
Will Forte. His raised eyebrows & slightly open mouth alone are enough to make me laugh anymore. Gail managed to make the best of her season playing Vicki the valley girl and co-hosting Weekend Update. and it will stick. Rachel Dratch (1999-2006).
ME TOO. I adore your description of Cheri Oteri, it's too perfect. They're both legendary in my book. Controversial? Andy Samberg, the MVP of late-aughts SNL, is also just the kind of boy you want to take home to your mother, who he will then seduce and end up sleeping with behind your back. Eddie Murphy: as a kid, a new, live SNL during Murphy's run was an Event: Murphy was not just the most exciting thing going on in comedy, he was one of the most exciting things going on in popular culture, period. Sadly, Brooks gets lopped off another list. ANYWAY the reason why this is happening, other than her obvious comedic chops, is that Nasim is underrated and is as flaming hot as hell itself. edit: I forgot Andy Samberg!
It was recently revealed that Nasim is going to star in her own Lorne Michaels produced comedy pilot following a "group of young people and their hijinks," written by former SNL writer John Mulaney the man who co-created Stefon along with Bill Hader. This highly scientific list was determined using a complex algorithm involving: foxy looks, charming personalities, and determining how good these funny men and women would be at making out. If there's a book about Murphy's impact during his SNL run, I'd be interested in reading it. About Vicki? Some men just want to watch our hearts burn. This is absolutely NOT "who are the best cast members" but rather who are your own personal favorites.

In other words: every girl's type. See the "Who shot Buckwheat" conclusion skit. She dated Bill Murray, she managed to be bitingly witty without seeming annoyingly bitter, and had a perfect face that no one would ever forget. Seriously though, even though he later went on to do some terrible (The Adventures of Pluto Nash, really?) Saturday Night Live. Sarah Silverman, carrying on a long tradition of the most fetching SNL lads and lasses only lasting for one season. Chris Farley because he's awesome in every way and dominated sketches. Sarah Silverman's face. He's a great impersonator who does amaaaaaazing voices that sound just like the real thing.
All with a wink and a smile. One of the more edgy SNL players on a show that really hasn't been edgy in many years, Forte has a unique place in SNL history.
He's also a comedic revelation on Saturday Night Live every time he gets a chance to appear. I think Rachel is every bit as funny as some of the now more famous snl women, maybe even more. Frankie and Willie was great, the synchronized swimming short. Most importantly, there's this video of him performing Robyn's "Call Your Girlfriend" in the SNL writer's room and it's as good as porn for anyone with a personality. SNL aired Ben Stiller's short film The Hustler of Money in 1987, and two years later he was offered a job as a writer and featured performer.
We hold major institutions accountable and expose wrongdoing. The legendary Belushi (RIP) may not be a heartthrob by traditional standards, but this is precisely the dude one might roll their eyes at around 6pm and find themselves agreeing to marry by midnight.
New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Her small frame & loud voice were topped off by her eyes that always looked a smidge short of cross-eyed.
Dude also looks sharp as hell in a suit, as evidenced often by Perspectives with Lionel Osbourne. I hope none of us are ever in front of Amy Poehler and no one's heart ever explodes. Press J to jump to the feed.
But kudos to you, I respect it. He's on a short list for the most calories burned laughing at his stuff. Jimmy Fallon: immensely talented, & I've never had a problem with SNL players breaking character, which is the only criticism I've seen of Fallon that has any weight to it. Thanks for all the good times, SNL cast cuties.
While not a particularly crowded field, Oteri was squarely funny first, & female second. Whoever else is coming & going, if Thompson is still in the cast, it's going to be a good season.
Yeah, me too. But also we would have been jealous because probably no one will ever love us with the kind of love that Seth Meyers can give? Obsessed with travel? Cheri is a tiny firecracker with enough energy to power anyone's motor and who doesn't love a cheerleader? But still, young Ben Stiller's smokin' jawline had an indelible impact on the surface of many young hearts.
A member of the famous Groundlings comedy troupe that is a breeding ground for SNL talent (including Ferrell, Rudolph, Wiig, Jon Lovitz, Phil Hartman, and many more), Oteri was cast unexpectedly at Chris Kattan's audition ostensibly because she is super hilarious but maybe also because she is a super-qt. And then you'd get to live together and make each other cookies and pies and casseroles and listen to records and basically just live the perfect life together forever. Debbie Downer was classic. brilliant list minus Kenan. Discover unique things to do, places to eat, and sights to see in the best destinations around the world with Bring Me!

Don't we all kind of 'ship' Amy Poehler / Seth Meyers and sort of wish that he'd been single when she and Will divorced so we could imagine them being in love forever? Bill Murray is the universe's ultimate example of how people can exert charm and charisma to such a powerful extent that you actually forget to, like, study their faces or worry about bros that look like Ryan Gosling, or think about anything other than how much you desperately want to spend time with and hold hands with and be heartbroken by the likes of Bill "No One Will Ever Believe You" Murray. Let VJack's irrefutable hotness be a warning to us all that we should never really fully trust our carnal desires. Buh-bye!
Aykroyd was SNL's youngest cast-member for its first four seasons and the intensity he brought to the show is probably unmatched ever since. Mary Gross (1980-1985). One of my favorite things about digital shorts is just seeing him bust a move in the background, he gets so into it, Mike Myers - I just really wanna get high with him, Bill Hader - Sometimes he'll mouth other people's lines as they're saying them and I just find it cute, Jimmy Fallon - I never minded when he kept breaking, I find it kind of endearing that he finds his cast members as funny as he does. I loved his Doug Henning impression. Her Alfalfa impression to go opposite Eddie Murphy's Buckwheat was great. Can you even look at him without feeling hot under the collar?! Who are your top 10 favorite cast members of all time? She seems like she doesn't give a fuck. 4. Sarah Silverman and inappropriate jokes that you can only laugh / fantasize about behind closed doors. Will Forte: there are very few sketches I ever searched for desperately online to re-watch, & Forte's "Spelling Bee" sketch was the most sought-after. This woman is so fucking pretty.
His portrayal of Burt Reynolds in Celeb Jeopardy is classic, and his monologue from when he hosted cracks me up every time. Part of the cast hired to youngify SNL in 1985, but also part of the crew unceremoniously fired the following season. There's a reason this little man has a child with Playboy's Jillian Grace, ok? She might end up hurting you when she falls in love with Gene Wilder at first sight and ends your marriage, but hell, it would all be worth it. REAL TALK: Kattan's dad is named Kip Kong and was on Reno 911! Parnell holds the dubious honor of being the only SNL cast member to be fired by Lorne Michaels twice he was "laid off" in 2001 due to budget cuts but re-hired halfway through the following season, and then he was again let go due to budget cuts in 2006. Chris Kattan: a wiry, bug-eyed guy that gave 100% is enough to make an impact on the show, but Kattan also had crack timing & a voice that sounded as crazy as he looked. Yo, Will Ferrell is six foot three inches tall, his face manages to emanate both masculinity and loving kindness, and he is one of the funniest men who has ever walked the earth / Saturday night. Will Forte (2002-2010). "Could youspell the word, please?" ), but he was a tall, dark, and handsome drink of water while he lasted. Mike Myers. The man was born to be a mouth-watering combo-deal of sexiness and ludicrous hilarity.
The definitive countdown of all of the most crushworthy Saturday Night Sweeties.
Additionally, Hader's self-effacing manner and giggle-packed delivery belie the fact that he and Stefon are so dang cute you can't even really talk about it.
Gail is no valley girl IRL, but she probably still tastes like cherry chapstick and bubblegum. Joan Cusack, sister to John, is one of an elite group of SNLers who is much more famous for lots of things she did after SNL than she is for her time on the show. So if you're a warm blooded human and you've ever dreamed about getting sweet nothings whispered in your ear by President Obama (or Denzel, or Will Smith, or Jay-Z), I'm sure Jay would be happy to oblige. Naturally funny. When she was on the show, though, she was at her own personal Peak Hotness level and basically blasted away the 1981 competition for makeoutability. This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google. His posture, timing, & vocal inflections are highlighted by camera direction that understands Thompson's talents. A man has never lassoed the intersection of ludicrous charisma, humor, and jerk-ass magnetism like this man. That schoolgirl uniform?
Sketches he was in were often exercises in waiting between Kattan's explosive, hilarious lines. Maya's bridesmaid Kristen Wiig, on the other hand, is someone who you're going to hit on immediately and never stop hitting on for the rest of your life. I like this thread because sometimes I just like cast members for dumb reasons and sometimes that likeability just makes me find them funnier. Fred Armisen. For example, I don't think Chris Farley was the absolute best cast member, but he was so lovable and his personality shone through in all his sketches. Christopher Guest (84-85). Cutest girl currently on SNL, easy. Mary Gross had a super casual tomboy charm going for her, signaling that she's down for ANYTHING, up to / including: putting up with your friends, driving over the speed limit, roller coasters, going on super silly dates, and acting out that secret fantasy you've never told anyone about. Because only Seth Meyers can love as Seth Meyers loves.
I love impressions where they add some additional character traits in addition to being a good impression. Yeah, that one. But Joanie was obviously funny and charming as hell, not to even delve into the details of the intoxicating shapes she makes with her tiny weird mouth. A guy you want to see succeed. Will Ferrell: his brand of manic, sometimes dark comedy managed to fit so well into SNL's format. Like, Will Forte just has a really kind face and I feel like he's the kind of guy who'll stand on his stoop talking to his senile 90 year old neighbor whose wife just passed away for half an hour. So awesome. Jan helped save SNL and guide many young ladies on their quests to figure out how to come across as not worrying one bit about whether you look hot while actually looking super hot. No offense to other boyfriends worldwide, but it's pretty clear that Fallon would be a better boyfriend than you. Sarah Silverman's voice. Those people have obviously never witnessed the brilliance of one Ms. Jane Curtin, SNL cast member from 1975-1980 and a true goddess of the three most important 'l's in the universe: love, lust, and laughter. As she nailed most things. One might think "it's not possible to be one of the most beautiful humans in the world and also one of the most funny."
The mind acrobatics that it requires to contemplate the fact that this woman is the daughter of Chris "Cabin Boy" Elliott will give you a migraine. Amy Poehler - in Mindy Kaling's book, she talked about about how no one at SNL really talked to her and they were all kind of cliquey and Amy was the only one who went out of her way to try and include her in things, Phil Hartman - ditto, people always talk about what a nice guy he was, Rachel Dratch - I find her adorable. To put it succinctly, there are two kinds of people in the world: people who wish they were Tina Fey, and people who wish that Tina Fey was their girlfriend. No order, but there's kindof an order. This is the woman that stole Fred Armisen from Peggy Olsen, so she must not be discounted. The recent revelation that Janeane Garofalo identifies as asexual and has a celibate relationship with her boyfriend has had zero bearing on her standing as the goddess of dream '90s girlfriends, a gal who would be the perfect partner for all of the pot-smoking, whiskey-drinking, laugh-so-hard-your-tummy-hurts nights in you always imagined adult relationships would be full of. Don't worry, you're not the only one. Molls was never really a sex kitten per se, but when she put on her Mary Katherine Gallagher persona everything changed.
Those white cotton underwears? GOOD LOOKS and MAD CHARM on the other hand?
It's a little difficult to talk about wanting to make out with Amy Poehler because so many of us look up to her, and it's sort of like wanting to make out with your professor or your friend's cool older sister or actually, now that I think about it, all of this is totally hot. Rocket ended up getting fired after dropping an f-bomb on live TV (sound familiar? He left after four episodes because they wouldn't allow him to make more short films (oh, if only he had been cast in the Digital Shorts era!).
Question: is it possible to look at Will Forte and not wish you were kissing him? Just imagine that wild and crazy focus being directed towards your romantic pleasure. How did one human go from being so sexy and funny to being the weird amalgamation of crazy and mean that you are today? I guess Brooks is 11th. He didn't go on to the fame of some of his co-stars but maybe that's because the man was putting his heart and soul into making our Saturday nights funnier. In no particular order.. Bill Hader, Jason Sudeikis, Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, Chris Farley, Norm Macdonald, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Dan Aykroyd, and Brooks Wheelan.
Gilda was the best of the best on the og SNL cast, a woman who would come to represent everything good and funny and original about the variety show's special brand of comedy. Sometimes when she has to eat in sketches, she eats like a little chipmunk, Andy Samberg - he's like a really good dancer. Ana Gasteyer. I don't want to know the people who wouldn't spend a night at the Roxbury with this ridiculous man. Dropping the dirty language on network television may have lost Jenny fans among the SNL producers, but she solidified her place in the heart of dirty-language-lovers worldwide. Listen: all of these SNL hotties are super-hotties, but if you could choose just one Saturday Night boy to actually take out for pizza and making out in the back row of a movie and then falling in love 4evs, you'd probably choose Mr. Bill Hader. The guy was funny, energetic, young, & unlike anything I'd seen before. Feel free rank them if you want, but you don't have to put them in order if that's too difficult. Ana Gasteyer (1996-2002). One of the most famous and successful former SNL cast members ever, Murphy was a highlight of a weird time in the show's history and also a highlight of weird fantasies one may or may have had about de-cardiganing "Mr. Robinson" in a heated moment. / "No." Sarah Silverman. Sarah Silverman's ongoing hotness. Really funny guy post snl as well. A girl next door for the ages.
I was pretty young when he was on, so maybe that's why I have a soft spot for his awkward nerdyness. You may not have ever thought of Dana as a hunk when he was dressed up in his Church Chat getup, but the man is actually totally adorable.
Candy Sweeney! And yet! As you wish you were nailed.
Hall joined the cast of Saturday Night Live during its 198586 season, after his success in Hughes teen classics The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles. Thompson's long tenure on the show has allowed him to explore his full range in the show's format, & as a viewer, allowed me to develop a deep appreciation of him. No one, that's who. Dan Aykroyd. He's a good actor too. Norm MacDonald. I encourage you to explain your reasoning.
Downey may have not really made his name on the show but, as we ALL know, he went on to be inexpressibly sexy, troubled, and awesome for the rest of his career and, hopefully, for the rest of time itself. Also the anchor before Dennis miller took over the next year. He'd be on the news and do a bunch of wordplay bits that were really fun. He was instantly memorable, & his must-watch sketches never let up on how over-the-top he was, with the exception of his earnest, bashful character, which made him endearing as well as a comedic tornado. Bill Hader - Great characters, good impressions, and genuinely likable. Is it possible to hear the name "Seth Meyers" and not hear that SNL announcer voice? Have you SEEN Doug Butabi? I'm sure I can't think of ten that won't overlap with the "best" - but here's a few of my favorites that might not be on anyone else's list (I love Phil Hartman, Will Ferrell, Bill Hader, Tiny Fey etc - these are a few less popular favorites). Pharoah joined the SNL cast in 2010, bringing his excellent Barack Obama along with him. You are probably one of the only people in the world who would include four SNL cast members from the early 1980s on any "best" or "favorite" list. Don't underestimate the samurai. If you went out on a date with Dana he'd be all shy at first, and then before you knew it he'd be all hands-in-pantsy and love you forever. Remember when she shook those weights? Phil Hartman. Soulless assholes, that's who. Eddie Murphy - He may have been on during the "dark ages" of SNL, but that doesn't diminish his talent. I'm glad she's been successful post snl.
and his mom posed for Playboy.
In that contest, he stayed on the show forever and ever, collecting handsomeness trophies and scoring digits.
Before you knew it he'll have squirmed his way into your heart and you'll spend all of your nights making out and playing with his hair and straightening his ties. JLD's hotness is like a reverse bell curve in which this '82-'85 stage was ludicrous in its levels of foxiness, and then took a frizzy, plutonic dip during the Seinfeld era, and now has unexpectedly rocketed back up to SNL-like levels on HBO's Veep. His poker face & unremarkable looks helped secure the idea that you really never knew what he was going to do, & he could & would do anything that met S&P's criteria. He is now a legitimate leading man of sorts, so you don't have to be embarrassed to admit that you would have let his Robert Goulet serenade your pants right off. Gail Matthius had the unfortunate luck of being cast on SNL during its low point in 1981, after producer Lorne Michaels resigned taking most of the writing staff with him. 2. My favorite Forte sketch in a crowded field, which includes every episode of "The Falconer".
Ugh, Jason Sudeikis, why?! Slate joined SNL in 2009 and immediately dropped an f-bomb in her debut sketch, "Biker Chick Chat." Let's be frank: Paul Brittain never really contributed much to the two seasons of SNL he was on. That's the kind of guy Rob Riggle is. Meadows held the record for the longest tenure on SNL at the time of his retirement and there's a good reason he stuck around for so long: he was one of the most consistent and reliable comedic performers in the show's history.
