successful Saturday Night Live alumni my

alums that have experienced continued
success both commercial and critical
upon leaving NBC’s sketch comedy series

mission from God we’ve excluded
performers who appeared in only one
season of the show everybody knows you

number 10 Andy Samberg this job is
eating me alive we know what you’re
thinking it must be the hair and his
command of his unique brand of comedy Oh
treasurer but you’re wrong it’s just the
hair all jokes aside Andy Samberg has
put together quite the post SNL career
by starring in Fox’s Brooklyn nine-nine
for which he took home a shiny piece of
hardware known as a Golden Globe Award
right well sir robot that’s a terrible
robot voice yep sure trophies aren’t
everything
but they do help your career and given
Sam Burke’s thrilling performance in
HBO’s seven days in hell it appears that
he’s ready to take over like a boss dr.
kobrine
number nine dan aykroyd 106 miles to
Chicago we got a full tank of gas
half a pack of cigarettes it’s dark and
we’re wearing sunglasses hit it
Millennials know him as the guy from the
2014 Melissa McCarthy comedy Tammy but
some of you older mojo holics know him
as one of the original
not-ready-for-prime-time players my main
question is where were you before 1968
we had not yet landed on this in this
country dan Aykroyd was a blues brother
and Eddie Murphy’s brother from another
mother
one minute you’re up half a minion and
soybeans in the next boom your kids

repossessed your Bentley are you with me
yeah we got a ton of other you gotta
tell him he was a Ghostbuster and played
one annoying mother bleep er in the
great outdoors
is that a fact yeah that’s a fact as a
writer and an actor dan Aykroyd has kept
us laughing for decades well the power
is working okay I’m gonna turn around
see if I can get a look at her
number eight Amy Poehler oh hey yeah of
course hi thank you from 2004 to 2008
she rightfully earned her spot as one of
SNL’s most hilarious Weekend Update
co-anchors response was so loud and
negative Sharon Stone ran into the
screening room and said was I in this
and now she’s got Network Comedy on
lockdown we said lock down Parks and Rec
broad city any time Amy Poehler signs on
the dotted line it’s the equivalent of
comedy gold salmon we got onion rings we
got a gumbo how’s this guys doing she’s
like a magical golden ticket for TV
executives and we’re all winners every
time she appears on TV oh I’m Sandra Day
O’Connor get it Sandra d-plus Sandra Day
O’Connor who’s Santa Dee who’s Sandra
Day O’Connor forget but not only does
polar light up the screen she’s also an
executive herself which means that she
can make you a star or send you packin
maybe both
regardless she’ll make you laugh in the
process everybody let’s get back to work
number seven Chris Rock it said that all
things must pass and for the love of God
let’s all be thankful that this former
SNL star managed to salvage his career
after 1993 cb4 did you know a black man
invented ice cream no no no not a hella
black man gonna invent ice cream and
hot-ass Africa Chris Rock has starred in
dozens of movies in the 2000s and we
wouldn’t be surprised if his stand-up
special sent people to the hospital for
excessive laughter a man is basically as
faithful as his options
in other words this guy kills it and in
2014
rock not only wrote and directed the
film top 5 but also earned a Critics
Choice nomination for Best Actor in a
comedy and even if it doesn’t happen you
just feel I feel good but any day
somebody thinks about you he’s an
inspiration for many but unfortunately
few will ever be able to match the
career accomplishments of mr. Rock do
you know what it means when somebody
pays you minimum wage you not your boss
was trying to say it’s like hey if I
could pay you less I would plus against
the law number 6 Mike Meyers Wayne’s
World Austin Powers Shrek have your
torch and pitchforks Mike Meyers was
born a Canadian but he’s actually made
of American dollar bills even if you
never saw one second of his legendary
run on Saturday Night Live you
undoubtedly know him from one of the
many strange characters he’s played on
the big screen do I make you horny
Randy you all make you horny baby and
that’s the brilliance of Mike Myers he’s
simply a magnificent bastard and he even
played one in the 2009 Quentin Tarantino
classic inglorious basterds down with
Hitler all the way down
show us one unsuccessful Mike Myers film
mojo holux and we’ll show you a monkey
flying out of your butt
it might happen actually let’s not do
that since you know the Love Guru and if
I get on Oprah I’m the next Deepak
Chopra number five Adam Sandler the
price is wrong bitch here’s a man known
for his intellectually stimulating movie
characters you’re getting fatter and
your hair doesn’t realize it needs to
cover more face okay okay not really but
Adam Sandler is known for making people
filthy rich will never ever find a way
to better a situation with a remarkable
ability to combine drama with toilet
humor Sandler has become one of the more
bankable movie stars of the past couple
of decades and his production company
happy Madison is responsible for
box-office hits like mr. deeds anger
management and grownups of course it’s
also responsible for a few turds but hey
that’s Hollywood you gotta take risks
and Sandler is not afraid to roll the
dice man the guy’s talkin about incest
it’s not funny the guy needs help I
could get last with that guy probably
farts onstage to number four Tina Fey
she’s smart sexy and quite possibly one
of the funniest people alive yeah if I
was president of the Philippines her
impressions will make you shoot
accidental snot rockets and her comedy
writing is both timely and edgy and I
can see Russia from my house for years
she served as the head writer and
Weekend Update co-anchor at Saturday
Night Live before taking on 30 rock and
now she’s ventured into the executive
side of the industry with unbreakable
Kimmy Schmidt so who has four thumbs and
loosened that jelly jar or Tina Fey is
always one step ahead of the game and
it’s her progressive thinking that makes
her one of comedy’s elite I thought
you’re gonna quit yeah well you don’t
know everything about me
number three Eddie Murphy I can see I
have a name I haven’t old shit again
fast I can walk Jesus praise Jesus
for 35 years TV and movie executives
have allowed any Murphy to be Eddie
Murphy I’m comin why well cuz he’s
arguably the funniest man to ever live
up in all the wrong place
walking for now
Saturday Night Live made him a star but
given his natural gift for comedy it was
only a matter of time until Murphy
became a box-office sensation a worse
good night man but with a badge I mean I
got the mission to kick you can ask
whenever I feel like it let’s say this
it’s impossible to binge on his 80s hits
in one day he was actually nominated for
three Golden Globes by 1984 a Grammy
Award an Oscar nomination Shrek you did
all right kid we can stay up late
swapping manless stars in the morning
I’m making waffles number two Will
Ferrell maybe they should start calling
him Big Daddy Ferrell because his name
is synonymous with big money Papa I like
it when you call me big papa
throw your hands in the air if you think
you’re a player ha ha and it seems will
doesn’t really give a rat’s ass about
superficial things like awards well
perhaps he actually does care deeply
about them but given his ridiculous
characters it’s safe to say that Will
Ferrel likes to improvise and make us
laugh you are a smelly pirate hooker you
look like a blueberry why don’t you go
back to your home on whore island
he’s a Comics comic he’s always in
character and he’s always up for a nude
role hey hey what the hell are you doing
you’re streaking that takes commitment
and it also takes balls pun intended as
a result Hollywood keeps knocking on
Papa Burgundy’s door and we keep buying
tickets this man is a true artist boy
that escalated quickly
I mean that really got out of hand fast
you jumped up a notch it did didn’t it
before we unveil our number one pick

a maniac me on the fall and I’m dancing
like I’ve never danced before yeah
Friddle necks detecting a win like fat
guys have a beard but only on their chin
roll number one Bill Murray
I’m gonna use you two guys to do my
dirty work for me during the closing
years of the 70s this comic appeared in
70 episodes of Saturday Night Live and
today he’s one of the most acclaimed
actors of his time here’s the thing
about Bill Murray he’s never gone away
there’s no big deal oh sure a few years
may pass without a new movie but he
always returns and on his own terms
yeah no no no yeah yeah no John no I’ll
Drive okay 15 years before his first
collaboration with Wes Anderson Murray
was already a massive movie star and his
odd ball style of humor made him a
perfect fit as the elder statesman of
modern indie films she’s my Rushmore max
he’s been successful for decades but
he’s managed to stay relevant as well a
true original I’d call that a big yes do
