Guys, I swear, he's really funny. Literally everything he's done on SNL so far has been funny.

He did, what, three of those?

The 95-96 season is just fine.

Ferrell was like a Phil Hartman/Chris Farley hybrid and whatever you think of his movies, he was a machine on SNL.

In Forte's defense - he is starring in the next Alaxander Payne movie.

You're bang on about Hader being the true anchor of the late-00s cast.

I don't really remember Macdonald carrying the cast. He was just starting out when Sandler and Spade were on and by the time he left it was Ferrell's show.

Also, Tim Meadows was great.

Well, Forte was the greatest - so his loss hurt. But Sudeikis did Maine Justice this year and that was pretty amazing.

It says a lot about how good Bill Hader was that one of his all-time best sketches came at the end of his run.

I've got high hopes for Tim Robinson. Honestly.

Sweet spelling.

You hear more stories of people NOT liking Kattan than of people liking him. Tracy Morgan was not a fan.

Well, there is the Jim Breuer story that was linked above - which doesn't play out the way described by HipsterDBag. There's also Norm talking about Kattan in a 1997 Rolling Stone saying he'd never seen someone who wasn't gay, act so gay.

Can someone explain to me Norm Macdonald's "new York" style?

Fuck that noise. They were awful together. Honestly. Re-watch them. They were constantly bombing and trying to giggle their way out of it. I likne them both, but together they were the shits on Update.

I'll always defend Colin Quinn for at least having really solid jokes on paper. His delivery kept obfuscating the location of the punchline, but he really did have good jokes.

Yup. Two piles.

For what it's worth, HipsterDBag's story is incorrect. Like, he's in the ballpark, but this is not how the story played out.

Wait, we don't like Norm Macdonald now? Also, Mohr Stories is really good.
