Joe Piscopo and Chris Kattan have the biggest careers of all in Bizarro world. On Earth-8, Cheri Oteri is Earth-1's Lucille Ball. On Earth-5 Finesse Mitchell is Eddie Murphy,Mike Myers,Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler all rolled into one.

Eddie Murphy. On a side note, it allways surprised me, that Dana Carvey was not a bigger star. Watch Master of Disguise, you'll understand why.

What about classics of cinema such as Clean Slate, The Road to Wellville and Trapped in Paradise??! ....yeah, I see your point. Carry on. {Spoiler}The Dana Carvey Show on the ABC Network was funny though. It's a shame it wasn't given a proper chance. That's when ABC had NYPD Blue and were proudly proclaiming, "we're gritty and cutting edge drama!" but if they had a risque comedy show, "oh that's bad and inexcusable!"

I loved the Dana Carvey Show when it aired here on The Comedy Channel plus it gave us Steve Carell,Stephen Colbert and the Ambiguosly Gay Duo.

I know all his movies suck, but what I meant was I am surprised he never found a better vehicle to showcase his obvious talent.

Jim Carrey. What, In Living Color was a much better show than SNL. Okay, I'll have to go with Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers.

It's one of my fav movies of all time in fact. I also agree The Dana Carvey Show was awesome.

Jim Belushi could've been huge had he not passed away in 1982. I'm still alive!!!

I think it's a tragedy that everyone is overlooking the greatness that was Gilbert Gottfried and all his success after SNL. I mean, come on. Problem Childs 1-3, the Aflac Duck, Aladdin, AND the single greatest episode of Hollywood Squares of all time. His episode of Hollywood Squares featured 1 round that went the entire half hour, because none of the contestants could correctly guess if he was bluffing or telling the truth, and each time they'd get it wrong (6 straight times), leading him to yell at them "You FOOL!" then laughing hysterically at them.

my personal picks.... 1985-1990: Phil Hartman, I loved Phil. I'm wondering what he'd be up to now, had his wife didn't go all drug induced murderer on him. Shame.

Was watching Phil's "Best of SNL" dvd the other night. Loved Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, loved him as Sinatra and Bill Clinton. Even if he was just doing a random character, like playing a father or brother, he was funny.

Wait a minute. Jim Belushi?
I'm sure you mean JOHN BELUSHI.
Jim is his lame, not-so-funny brother.

But, sadly, I liked his K-9 movies, where he's a cop with a dog as a partner. Sad I just admitted that.

Money-wise, sure, you could give it to Eddie. But in terms of consistency, overall charm and quality, I'd say that Bill Murray is the best SNL alum. If Chris Farley didn't pass away, I'm pretty sure he'd be up there as well. There was talks of him starring in a Fatty Arbuckle biopic that was to be penned by David Mamet, and I think a vehicle like that, if it were successful, would've broken Farley into dramatic material, thus making him all the more relevant.

Eddie Murphy Then John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray really the other guys are funny, but none of them have as much staying power as even the short lived career of Belushi.
Was Crystal an actual cast member? I thought he was just a frequent guest.

Quality-wise (IMO): Bill Murray Peak Earnings: Eddie Murphy Average Earnings: Adam Sandler
That seems to be the general sentiment, and I can't really disagree.
