best SNL members

ok, you may have noticed that i like lists. here's another one. top 10 SNL members. here's how i define "best"... most versatile, most consistently funny. can do a lot of different characters... in other words, not a one-trick pony. here we go:

10. Jan Hooks - i don't know what to say about her, she was just funny.
9. Norm MacDonald - am i spelling his name right? anyway, i cheated on the rules. he's just on here for Weekend Update. so unbelievably witty.
8. Molly Shannon - "don't get me started, don't EVEN get me started". if you haven't seen this sketch, rent Best of Molly Shannon.
7. Dana Carvey - yes, i know the humor back then was a lot more tame, but he was still funny. and you 15 year-olds that have seen the reruns just don't get it. he was funny. although his stand-up was unbeLIEVably NOT funny.
6. Amy Poehler - i think i'm falling in love with her. although i've kind of fallen in love with most of the female cast members. whatever, she's wicked funny.
5. Rob Schneider - yes, he's done some bad movies, but he's hilarious. wow, these comments are all starting to sound the same.
4. Chris Farley - a lot of people put him #1, but that's a mistake. while he was great, there are cast members who were more valuable. now we're getting into the REAAALLLLY versatile guys.
3. Chris Kattan - watch the airport first date sketch on the Best of Molly Shannon... he steals the sketch and hardly says a word. unreal.
2. Will Ferrell - do i need to say anything here? no. he and farley seem to be the most popular picks for #1. i've got one better though...
1. Phil Hartman - phil hartman was a true genius. he could do DEAD-ON impressions, be the "announcer guy", play any character and NEVER, EVER, EVER start laughing in the middle of a sketch. he was never crappy in anything. i think he was the most versatile and consistently funny cast member of all time.

worst cast member of all time: janeane garafalo - this kills me to say this, because i think she is the best female stand-up comic i've ever seen, BY FAR. but let's be honest, she never fit in on SNL.
most overrated: darrell hammond. you're an ass clown, and you're not funny. your impersonations aren't that great (sometimes), and you're a douche. i feel better.
most underrated: david spade. ok, a lot of people know he's funny, but don't give him credit for being funny on the show.
