    Meh, Eddie Murphy was good, but I don’t consider him one of the SNL greats. I’d definitely agree with putting Will...

  23. elizs answered: no.

  28. haisthenewblack answered: No. I don’t even think she’s top 4 of this cast!
  29. zawmer answered: I do agree. Her variety of characters is one of the best ever. She’s completely hilarious.
  30. roots66 answered: She’s talented, but most of her self-created characters are so annoying. I like her best when she does impressions.
  31. gillies-irons answered: Not hardly.

  33. percepto answered: Not really; I’ve never understood why people thought she was so funny. I don’t particularly like any of her characters.
