okay... so Samberg is on the list, but what about:

Jim Belushi
Robert Downey, Jr.
Brian Doyle-Murray
Chris Elliott
Janeane Garofalo
Christopher Guest
Anthony Michael Hall
Phil Hartman
Victoria Jackson
Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Norm Macdonald
Michael McKean
Dennis Miller
Joe Piscopo
Randy Quaid
Harry Shearer
Ben Stiller
Damon Wayans

...they are favoring the current cast members way too highly.

Will Ferrell at #1 is a joke, Tina Fey has no business in the top 10, How Molly Shannon even made the list is beyond me and couldn't they have found a better photo of Chris Farley? :rolleyes:

Agreed. They did leave a bunch off the list, didn't they? To me the most successful is probably Bill Murray. He's my favorite, anyway. Adam Sandler's probably made the most movies, though.

they left way too many off the list for my taste and dand carvey oh please he was one of the greatest snl player of all time but him being among the top 25 on that list is a joke
