'SNL' makes cast changes, cuts

[J.T.]

If all the old school SNL people weren't super famous now and NBC could afford it, I'd love to see a SNL: The Reunion for a season. , for just two or three shows. That would be so ing bad ass.

[cherylsteele]

No it wouldn't. Most of those guys are way past their prime and aren't funny anymore.

It would be a heck of alot better than it is now.

I have not watched many shows since the late 80's early 90's.
As it is now, I'd rather watch the Paint-Drying Channel.

[midgetonadonkey]

Most of those comedians listed aren't even funny anymore. I'm not saying it wouldn't be better than the now, it just won't be as great as one would think.

SNL's troubles have more to do with writing than with the cast. The writing has been on a pretty steady decline for a while now.

[Spurminator]

I actually think there's a few promising cast members that started last year. But I really haven't watched it regularly since the early 90's.

SNL has been horrible for years.

[PakiDan]

All of you are re ed. Some of the stuff this cast put out is the greatest SNL stuff ever. For example: http://www.funnyhub.com/videos/pages...ay-narnia.html

Will Farrell, Mike Myers and Dana Carvey are still funny. You can add Jimmy Fallon, Adam Sander, Kris Kattan, Cheri Ottery and Molly Shanon and you have a kick-ass cast.

[Bob Lanier]

Will Ferrell, Jimmy Fallon, Adam Sandler, and Molly Shannon were never funny, and I'd have to see Myers and Carvey to believe it.

[CuckingFunt]

Will Farrell, Mike Myers and Dana Carvey are still funny.

You sure about that?

You give one overrated example?

Andy Samburg and his Lonely Island pals (also writers for SNL) have been doing crap like that for awhile.

It's interesting that NBC has decided to make these changes w/in a week of premiering the show Studio 60, since it deals with a very similar subject. Coincidental timing? Life imitating art? Or art imitating life?

I love Horatio Sanz. He reminds me of my first boyfriend.

Sorry to hear that

That is the only funny sketch SNL has done in the past five years.

[Spurminator]

I thought the Natalie Portman video was much funnier than Lazy Sunday.

[MrChug]

SNL might as well be Terry Schiavo.

OOOOOOoooooooooohhhhh...brutal man, brutal. Truth hurts though. Darrell Hammond is by FAR one of the finest impersonators of all time. I have NO Earthly idea why in the he's stayed so long. Lotta money I guess. Once he goes, everyone else will be scrambling for bit parts on The WB.

[Spurminator]

Darrell Hammond is hard to figure out. He's great at impersonations but I get the feeling he's either shy or a total prick off camera, and this may contribute to his lack of a non-SNL acting career. He seems like he has the talent to be another Phil Hartman but he doesn't have 10% of the likeability.

[bigzak25]

i'll miss her. i hope her new show does well...

[E20]

Chapelle Show does own SNL.

SNL can't muster stars like:

Murphy
Akryod
Farley
Spade
Rock
Sandler
Belushi
Martin
And a plethora of others

That's pretty damn hard to beat or top.
