I respectfully disagree, Pete.

I've got to agree with Tom on this one. Quite a few good cast members have gone on to bigger and better things.

I think where the problem comes in, SNL has always been out there on the edge and do not pander to the masses. Not all the skits are going to appeal to everyone all the time, but when they are on and in line with your understanding of what they are satirizing, they are still the best out there with any kind of exposure.

Kristen Wiig

Yep, except for that Gillie character she does. That or an Armisen sketch is when I browse CA or go have a cig.

Yeah, not one of her better characters. Love the Target lady though, and the "one-upper", among others.

The Target Lady is awesome, especially when Justin Timberlake played her friend. The Penelope sketches are great too. I like how they show one of her ridiculous claims to be true at the end of the sketch, like Liza Minelli being her best friend.
I think some of her funniest bits have been on WU, like the "just kidding travel "expert," or the woman suffering from constant orgasms (Seth Myers: "Thanks for coming.").

None of these ever made me laugh on SNL. A few of them did some hilarious things on film, but not on SNL. Myers and Carvey were good. Just my take on these people though.

Really, Andy?

Sanz, Samberg, Poehler and Wiig cracked me up on a regular basis. But I do have a highly evolved sense of humor.

Horatio Sanz got a chuckle or two from me, but no to the rest. I guess I'm more of an old school comedy guy. Like you said though, it's all a matter of personal opinion. Maybe it's a sign of me getting older, but today's comedy and music just doesn't do it for me. It's harder and harder for me to find current comedians and music that I can get in to.
