After weeks of voting, we have officially determined the best cast member in the 50 year history of Saturday Night Live. And the winner is...
Will Ferrell!
There is no doubt that Will Ferrell has cemented himself as one of the most iconic SNL cast members of all time. His cowbell skit will probably go down as the best skit of all time. Not to mention his countless other recurring characters. He is a worthy champion. Congrats, Will!
I will admit that I was sad not to see my personal favorite, Phil Hartman, advance farther. But I can't really argue much with the results. Do I think people valued Tina Fey's work post-SNL more than her time on the show? Perhaps. But that doesn't take away from how good she was on the show. At the end of the day, all 64 cast members in this bracket could make a case for being the champion and they all have memorable skits and characters. What I loved most about doing this bracket was looking back at the history of the show and remembering skits I forgot about, laughing at my favorites, and having conversations with others about their memories of the show. When I have time, I want to go back and write posts about my favorite skits, recurring characters, and cast members. Until then, I will let you celebrate the end of this bracket and look forward to next year when we will actually determine the best movie villain. Thank you to all who voted!
