That Gilda is dead and Chevy Chase is alive is proof that there is no God.

when I first saw repeats of the first series of snl I was suprised by how funny Chevy was! I could see how his smug asshole persona worked in those skits, which wasn't the case in anything else I'd seen him in, kind of 'so that's why people liked him'

aykroyd is the best, by far

― (The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Sunday, 20 July 2014 22:40 (eleven years ago)

Laraine Newman seems underrated, I think? I want to see this movie so bad

Gilda > Aykroyd > Belushi > Morris/Newman/Chase >>>>>> Curtin

― WilliamC, Sunday, 20 July 2014 23:13 (eleven years ago)

Gilda then Belushi

Chevy

― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 20 July 2014 23:30 (eleven years ago)

Ackroyd was probably the most talented, Gilda the most loved, Belushi the most mercurial. I don't really have a favourite, though I had a crush on Laraine Newman back then. Murray was the first guy I really took to.

Ackroyd

― Darin, Monday, 21 July 2014 01:32 (eleven years ago)

Aykroyd has really grown on me the more i see reruns of the early seasons, obviously he's had a pretty good career but rarely commanded the screen in movies like he did on SNL.

voted gilda but i would have belushi and then aykroyd after that.

― balls, Monday, 21 July 2014 02:07 (eleven years ago)

Radner > Aykroyd > Belushi >>>>>> the rest

― Johnny Fever, Monday, 21 July 2014 03:49 (eleven years ago)

I miss Gilda the most, but Aykroyd was always my fave. Curtain way underrated at being the straight-person with all these weirdos.

― Elvis Telecom, Monday, 21 July 2014 07:01 (eleven years ago)

Aykroyd, most versatile and Sellersesque

― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Monday, 21 July 2014 11:20 (eleven years ago)

I shall award my vote to Fred Garvin, Male Prostitute.

Try THESE on for size, Connie Chung.

― Three Word Username, Monday, 21 July 2014 13:29 (eleven years ago)

Radner - Ackroyd - Curtain - Belushi - Morris - Newman - Chase

― Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Monday, 21 July 2014 13:30 (eleven years ago)

lol "Curtain", oops

― Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Monday, 21 July 2014 13:30 (eleven years ago)

obv Radner had the most traditionally lovable star qualities, which irked head writer Michael O'Donoghue, along with the cast starting to do recurring characters rather than shock and edge every week.

I often get Roger Federer mixed up with Mr. Richard Feder from New Jersey.

Watched the last episode of season 6/Dick Ebersol's first episode last night - Chevy Chase is just amazingly charmless throughout.

― "trough lolly"??? (stevie), Thursday, 7 August 2014 14:03 (eleven years ago)

Makes me want to watch all the episodes he hosted after leaving the show, to decide in exactly which episode he is his most unlikeable.

six years pass...

Not sure why all the interview material sounds like it was conducted via phone - perhaps it is from the Belushi bio that came out a whiles back?
