Best SNL "Character" Nomination Thread

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

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.

Eddie Murphy - Mr. Robinson

If an impersonation counts as a character, I'd nominate Eddie Murphy as Stevie Wonder. I still sing "Ebony and Ivory" that he did with Joe Piscopo as Sinatra:

You are black
I am white
Life's an eskimo pie, let's take a bite
That was groovy thinkin', Lincoln
When you set them free.....

Also, duos such as "Hans and Franz", "The Blues Brothers", and "The Wild and Crazy Guys" will count as a single entry.

For example, Walken's producer character (don't know name offhand) in the "Blue Oyster Cult/Gene Frenkle" skit.

If that's the case, I nominate Alec Baldwin's soap opera doctor who cannot correctly pronounciate:

"I'll be straight with you: It's canker"
"We will have to go through the anal cay-nal"

Also, should this be a normal poll, or elimination style?

I think you'll have to do this elimination style. There's too many to simply vote on.

"I am dark and you are light"
"You are blind as a bat and I have sight
Side by side you are my amigo, negro
Let's not fiiiiiiiiiiiight"
