Top ten most memorable SNL charactersLIVE FROM NEW YORK, IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE!  Alright, so Saturday Night Live isn't what it used to be but back in the day, it had some pretty amazing characters. These are my top 10 most memorable characters from the show. Quick description of the show (for those of you who don't know): Saturday Night Live was one of the landmark programs of the 1970s, an attempt to bring fresh, often outrageous comedy and the excitement of live TV (from New York) to late-night viewers. It featured "The Not Ready for Primetime Players," a repertory company of wacky comics who presented 90 minutes of topical satire, straight comedy, and music every Saturday night. Each week a different guest star served as host and the person around whom many of the sketches were written. 10. Martin Short (SNL cast 1984-1985) as Ed Grimley  9. Eddie Murphy (SNL cast 1981-1984) as Gumby  8. Molly Shannon (SNL cast 1994-2001) as Mary Katherine Gallagher  7. Gilda Radner (SNL cast 1975-1980) as Roseanne Roseannadanna  *Note: This next part was tough. Let's see if I can pull this off. 5. Dan Aykroyd (SNL cast 1975-1979) as Beldar Conehead 6. Jane Curtain (SNL cast 1975-1980) as Prymaat Conehead  4. Mike Myers (SNL cast 1988-1995) as Wayne Campbell  3. Dana Carvey (SNL cast 1986-1993) this one has to be a tie between Garth Algar and The Church lady  2. Chris Farley (SNL cast 1990-1995) as Matt Foley, world famous motavational speaker.  *Quick note - please ignore the untalented ass next to Chris Farley. He so doesn't count. 1. John Belushi (SNL cast 1975-1979) as Samurai Warrior  Name some characters from Satureday Night Live that you think should've been on this list.

But no, no Mango for you! *slaps ass*
Taco! Burrito! What's hangin' out of that Speedo?!
My fav was John Belushi and the Bees, he hated the Bee sketches..Blues Brothers were Da Bomb!!
What memories!
Eddie Murphy as Mr. Robinson (aka the black Mr. Rogers).
Damn, why did Eddie Murphy stop being funny after SNL?
too sexy! too sexy!
my favourites are Mango, Mike Myers and Dana Carvey....=)
ALEC BALDWIN AS PETE SCHWEATY IN SCHWEATY BALLS.
Yeah.
Watch that and tell me you weren't cracking up.
See, that's where it got complicated. Alec Bladwin was awesome on SNL. So was Steve Martin and Andy Kaufman BUT they weren't regular cast members of the show. They were just reoccurring guests with really kick-ass characters. If I hadn'ted based it on that, those guys would've been in my top 3!
