UNPOPULAR OPINION ALERT!!!

SNL was good in the early 90s. However the Cheri Oteri, Chris Kattan, Molly Shannon, Chris Parnell years were freggin unwatchable. Amazing how a show could make Will Ferrell unfunny.

However, the cast from the early mid-late 2000s: Bill Hader, Kristin Wiig, Fred Armisan, Jason Sudekeis, Andy Samberg...etc. was a force. I think by far that's the best cast to date and they rarely get the recognition because the late 90s cast and the current cast cast a shadow on modern SNL.

Watch these skits and tell me I'm wrong...

(H/T to the David S. Pumpkins link above as that would've absolutely made this list)

Good input. Are you an SNL purist who thinks anything Dan Ackroyd touches is comedic gold... meanwhile over 2 GB movies (categorized as “comedies”) has maybe 3 soft chuckles over the pair of flicks?

Fair enough. To each their own. All I know is the cast in the mid to late 2000’s puts us in our mid 30s in stitches, meanwhile any of the original cast is crickets.
