They have had a few stars along the way but they never matched that early cast.. Aykroyd, chase, Rainer, Belushi, Martin...the first decade of SNL was amazing...then it started sliding........

I love that original cast but there was a time when SNL was trotting out Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Chris Rock, Mike Meyers, Dana Carvey, David Spade, Phil Hartman and Rob Schneider. That 1991 cast was pretty amazing.

2007-8 was a murderers row also, while also having a great blend of men and women, which seemed to be severely titled in one way during the first two decades. I mean… this is ridiculous: Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Amy Poehler, Fred Armisen, Jason Sudekis, Andy Samberg, Maya Rudolph and Will Forte.

The 91 cast was pretty good... I absolutely hated Sandler on SNL...but I never miss his movies, lol

Yeah… that OG cast, “91 and ‘07 casts stand above all others.

The one year with Martin Short, Christopher Guest, and Billy Crystal was also a standout. Synchronized swimming anybody?

My favorite part is usually the weekend update. I think Colin Jost and Michael Che are the best of all time. They have soo much fun. Their end of year joke swap is the best portion of the weekend update ever (I didn't start watching until Nealon). I would have loved to see Chevy Chase.

I also loved Kevin Nealon and Norm Macdonald.

Chase & Curtain were pretty good. Just can't get over the fact that Chase was a huge A-hole & still is. Murray threatened to beat the crap out of him once. Murray was kind of the protector in the early years which surprised me.

This movie was a freaking manic masterpiece. It's like the theater chaos of Shakespeare in Love on speed.

I look forward to getting the screener for this.
