I'm assuming this character should be a recurring one?

[/ QUOTE ]
Not necessarily. If there was a one-shot that was so great it blows away recurring characters, by all means list it.

For example, Walken's "Bruce Dickinson" in the "Blue Oyster Cult/Gene Frenkle" skit.

That was pretty much what I was getting at. And Gene.

Other nominations would be Goulet (obviously), and Tom Hanks - Mr. Short Term Memory.

Re: Best SNL \"Character\" Nomination Thread
 

I have a few off the top of my head that are worthy of consideration:

Caveman Lawyer

The dan ackroid guy that sold the bag o'glass, and invisible pedestrian, teddy chainsaw bear... to kids.

The ladies man was always good.

and a I think its safe to say that Ferrel's James Lipton was a gift from god.
