Banned from hosting, not from the show

And yeah it is sad that he isn't in good enough health to do appearances. Didn't think that was especially controversial?

Yeah, since he was banned for being a huge rear end in a top hat, he has made several cameos (1999, Bill Murray; 2001, Seann William Scott; 2007, Seth Rogen, 2013, Justin Timberlake), and on both the 25th and 40th anniversary shows. He can drop by, he's just not allowed to be there all week.

Who do you think is the biggest star to have come from SNL? Just having this discussion with a few close friends. It's probably a heavily-loaded question, in that your answer might depend on your own age bracket and/or fondness for a certain era of SNL, plus on what metrics do you judge 'biggest star'? I honestly don't know much pre-90s, so I couldn't really make an opinion informed by the whole history of the show, but from what I've seen maybe it's Adam Sandler? Eddie Murphy?

Will Ferrell? Although maybe he's quite similar to Adam Sandler with stardom. Bunch of comedy movies that started great and went down hill.

Could probably argue that Jimmy Fallon is one of the bigger stars since he's got a late night show going...

I like Ferrell way more than Sandler, but I picked the latter because I feel like he might have had more longevity in Hollywood than Will did, and his attempts at dramatic roles seem to be generally better-received.

RDJ is something I always forget about, not to move the goalposts but wasn't he only on for like two seasons and universally hated as a cast member? He's definitely one of the biggest stars alive though.

EDIT: Can't rule out Bill Murray either. If what I said in the first paragraph here is the criteria, I think his career blows Sandler's out of the water.

"You'll never know if you can fly unless you take the risk of falling."
That's tough, because once you leave SNL, it's a roulette wheel chance you'll end up "successful" let alone "a big star"

For every Bill Murray or Adam Sandler or Will Farrell, you end up with a "celebrity guest" spot like Cheri Oteri or Tim Meadows, and then if you really do fall off, you get a Chris Kattan or Victoria Jackson.

Which makes you hope for the best for Kristin Wiig and Kate McKinnon, because the last thing I know Leslie Jones did was Coming to America 2 and the reboot of supermarket sweep

Not saying she doesn't deserve this final sketch, but they didn't even go this far for Kate, who was arguably more important to the cast

Kate left with a few people and on the season finale though. Not sure if either Kate or Cecile was more important. They both brought a lot to the show in their own way.

Also I think we forgot about Julia Louis Dreyfus. Not a movie star, but managed to be in Seinfeld and Veep, and that certainly has to count for something.

Sarah Squirm is the biggest highlight of modern SNL, and I'm happy she's in many skits and worst case scenario, she becomes the new face of the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards.

I also really love James Austen Johnson but only because it's always cool to see a comedy actor grind it out for years and "finally make it".

I don't know about Mikey Day anymore, and I feel Bowen is just waiting for a sitcom deal.

This week's episode was "middle of the road" but only because I'm tired of the typical skits like "game show parody"and "fake talk show" and thought last week's with the body horror in Christmas Carol was hilarious.

I think it’s unfair to compare the stardoms of Chris Rock or Adam Sandler (even though the real answer is Steve Martin) with modern guys because the media landscape is so different. SNL doesn’t create stars anymore because it’s all too fractured.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Bill Hader has the best crater of any modern guy though.

SNL used to be the springboard to greater things, but with less big comedy movies, SNL is the top tier now.

Steve Martin wasn't a cast member, just a guy that hosted a ton.

re: most successful alum



the MCU has blown a giant hole in anything else, RDJ wins through those movies alone. of actual comedy actors, i think sandler takes the prize in a cakewalk. his movies not only gross a ton, they're insanely profitable as well since they're cheaper to make than superhero stuff

It seems that instead of being a lottery where one of the cast members occasionally becomes a star, SNL is now a solid source of supporting cast members/decent to good sitcoms/voice actors. A lot of past cast members just dropped off the face of the Earth after the show, but now most of them seem to go on to successful if not necessarily high-profile entertainment careers.

I'm watching last night's episode, and this Marzipan sketch is hilarious.

The almost-dessert with the flavor of nuts, but the texture... of nuts! As much protein as a bite of steak.

Kerman Thompson can make almost anything hilarious with his delivery. I shudder to think that this show will someday not have him in it.
