Which weekend update host did you like best?

[Dis]

Dennis Miller for me. But I liked Norm McDonald. I miss Frank Stallone jokes.



I did not like Colin Quinn at all. In fact, he's one of my least favourite SNL actors.

I was too young for Chevy Chase, but looking at old clips, I don't think I was missing much. Perhaps I was the wrong generation for that comedy. Jane Curtin I liked somewhat though.

anyways I had to look this up on wiki to get the poll right. I'm not including newsbreak or saturday night news. deal with it.

Tina Fey was pretty good, but I feel the show started going downhill during this time. Not as bad as early 80's, but still bad.

seeing if I can find some clips.

here's tina fey



yeah I know it can't compare to the Daily Show when it was good.

yeah it was annoying most of the time.

[SlowwHand]

Chevy Chase

[Wycoff]

Norm MacDonald, without question.

For the record, I'm 24. My earliest SNL memories are Late Night with Kevin Nealon.

Jimmy Fallon sucked, but not as much as Colin Quinn.

[Drake Tungsten]

Dennis Miller, without question. MacDonald is the only one who even comes close.

[OzzyKP]

ugh, Norm MacDonald was horrible.

[Apocalypse]

Kevin Nealon.

I just didn't like SNL much any more after most of the group left and only Spade/McDonald/Token Black Guy remained.

I give Chevy Chase a lot of credit for originating the role, and I liked him a lot. But Dennis Miller took it to a new level.

I haven't watched SNL much the past 15 years or so. I saw Norm McDonald a few times. he was OK I guess. I saw the chick who's at the desk now a few weeks back and she had some game.

but definitely, Dennis Miller.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Dennis Miller, followed by Norm Macdonald.

But the best Weekend Updates were those of the Jane Curtain years.

[-Jrabbit]

That ignorant slut?

[Perfection]

Who was the one that threw the pencil? That's the only one I remember.

[Ninot]

Norm MacDonald. It was a crime when he lost the job. I was very upset at the time.

Miller was great, but MacDonald ALWAYS had me laughing, which I can't say about Miller.

Exactly. Though Belushi's increasingly-incoherent editorial replies were also priceless, and Gilda Radner was doing both Emily Litella and Roseanne Roseanadana. Plus occasional Bill Murray stints. Golden years, I tell ya.
