Okay...My bad - Get confused between the two...

one show has token black characters and the other one had a token white character.

I am pretty sure Eddie Murphy was not a token black character. In fact, he would have to tell them to stop putting him in so many skits. Ferrell was very funny, but Eddie Murphy was great at improvising and was also very funny.

bill murry, phil heartman and eddie murphy in no particular order.
yeah, if you can laugh at a fat dude falling over and getting angry four times an episode i guess you could pick farley.
I never liked will ferral.

Murphy did become popular, and they did want to hire him, but weren't going to because they already had a black guy. he was actually only hired when they found out that the other black guy wasn't officially under contract.. leaving room for Eddie to be the token black guy.

The fact that phil hartman has just as many votes as bill murray makes me want to hurl.

Has anyone here even heard of bill murray?
