Best SNL cast member

I agree. Hartman was also in my top 3, and is probably my number 1. As for Ferrell's SNL work, I didn't like his early recurring characters (bald guy and cheerleader). However, over time he really stepped it up, and it was his later characters that really sold me (Trebek, Lipton, Carray, the Jeffrey's guy), not to mention his other famous skits (Vietnam Vet nude model, cowbell, cat exec w/Vince Vaughn, office guy in u.s. flag speedo, etc.).

Ferrell's Bush impersonation is one of the best ever.

What company and writing did Ferrell have his last few years on the show? FWIW I voted for Hartman and Belushi, with Ferrell as my third choice. Hartman was an absolute genius and Belushi was gold. I chose Ferrell third because he single-handedly saved the show for a few years and had some hilarious roles including Goulet, Trebek, More Cowbell, Bad Doctor and plenty of others I am forgetting.

Ferrell had people like Chris Kattan, Cheri Oteri, and Horatio Sanz while he was there. Not exactly a murderer's row of comedy.

You people are comedy impaired. Either that or you're too young to have seen most of the selections.

I would have Will Ferrell near the bottom. I don't think he was all that on SNL. But he's leading the poll.

Give me Beluchi, Aykroyd, Hartman, Carvey, Murray, Radner, Sandler, Farley, Myers, Rock, and Chase before Ferrell.

I do like his film work, but he's bottom rung on SNL.

although they were only on for one year: Billy Crystal/Christopher Guest/Martin Short were halarious

This poll is fine and all, but why is Darrell Hammond not on the list? Hands down the best Bill Clinton impersonation I've ever seen, not to mention he did a great job as Chris Matthews (Hardball) and Sean Connery (Jeopardy). For a while he was fairly instrumental in carrying the show.

Are we voting on their SNL years or their overall accomplishments?

People in here are too young. How the hell is Dana Carvey so low?
