Question:
The Top 10 Worst SNL Cast Members of All-Time ?
Answer:
Every year, people talk about how "Saturday Night Live" has hit an
all-time low and should be cancelled. We think these people should just
shut up, stop bitching and be glad that it's still on. Because when
it does go off, it's time slot all but ensures that it will be
replaced by an infomercial for either a tooth-whitening system or
"Nads", the easy way to remove unsightly body hair.
Sure, "SNL" blows sometimes. Some sketches are fucking miserable, and
90 percent go on about ten minutes too long. But that's life. Nothing
is 100% great all the time, and no one's making you watch it anyway,
even though most of us have. That being said, there have been a few
times throughout the hallowed history of "SNL" that even our limited
faith has been shaken in this revered comedic institution. With all
those cast members over the years, you are bound to have more misses
than hits. With that in mind, we present to you, our Top Ten Worst
"SNL" Cast Members of all time.
Jimmy Fallon:
This guy, admittedly, could have been funny and he had the chops for a
decent impersonation or two. The problem is the only thing he will ever
be remembered for is smirking, breaking, and laughing at himself
uncontrollably. If only Lorne Michaels had the balls to yell "Get
your shit together; half that stuff you were laughing at wasn't even
funny!" Fallon doomed himself to this list with his self-love. Plus
he worked way too hard for that messy hair John Mayer wannabe look.
Memorable Character: Nick Burns. You're Company's Computer Guy
Colin Quinn:
Talk about range! Whether he's playing a slow-talking New York
construction worker, a slow-talking New Yorker at a ball game, or a
slow-talking New Yorker in New York, the impression was always dead on.
Quinn was also responsible for the most painful tenure at the "Weekend
Update" news desk in SNL history. We don't know whose idea it was to
put the heavily accented, apparently barely literate cast member with
an achingly stilted delivery at the helm, but bravo! The worst was when
he actually had to try to act and banter with his guest correspondents.
Excruciating.
HA! the"Phat Phree". I remember when they did "sketch comedy" at
Kent State. They forgot the useless Siobhann Fallon, Beth Cahill,
Pamela Stevenson, and about a dozen other non-contributors that
should've bumped the names below off their list.
No way do Tim, Tracy, Jimmy, and Horatio belong on this list. Jimmy and
Horatio have their faults with their giggling, but that does not warrant
worse cast member of all time status.
