    Every full-time cast member in the show's history, ranked worst to best.

    With this type of list, everyone's going to have some arguments. I'm trying to understand the notion that they've only written paragraphs on the "notable" ones, and Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin and Gilda Radner don't meet the "notable" standard.

    I have no problem with Will Ferrell being top 10, but putting him ahead of John Belushi is insanity.

    Interesting list, PC, that gets rather odd down in the second half. I mean, it's not that tough to fill that top 20. But why, for instance, would Rock be No. 67? Or Fallon No. 80? Dennis Miller No. 66? Kattan No. 83?

    I mean, this dude has Robin Duke ranked above all four of them. Dios mio.

    Yeah, I can kind of see Chris Rock going low just because he did so little there (though "Nat X" alone should put him in the top half), but the bottom half is strange. The writer clearly put the people he hated at the bottom and then peppered the middle with the people virtually no one remembers.

    Chris Kattan at 83 is preposterous.

    And I still contend that Horatio Sanz has locked up the dead-last position.

    That list is dripping with fail. First off, any list without Charles Rocket and Sanz in the bottom five is awful, as is any list that has Kristin Wiig over Jane Curtin and Gilda Radner. And any list that doesn't have Dana Carvey as top five isn't saved by having him ninth.

    Reading through that I could have sworn Tony Rosato had died, so I looked it up. Turns out he didn't die, he just went batshit crazy.

    From wikipedia:

    Buble's Christmas Duets is pretty good...

    And Seth Meyers/ Middle of the Pack?
    Makes Horatio Sanz seem like Ackroyd...

    This first 25 minutes of Fallon's show has been pretty consistently funny.

    Chris Farley at No. 22!?! Yikes. For me, it's Chris Farley and Will Ferrrell at No. 1 and 1A, then everyone else. Although I'm also quite partial to Amy Pohler.
