Ok, my thoughts, in order are:

2. John Belushi
3. Dan Ackroyd
4. Chris Farley
5. Will Ferrell

What, no Dana Carvey?! I think he would definitely get my #1 spot. I would also agree with Will Farrell. I'd have to think a little more about the rest.

IN no particular order my faves are:

Chris Rock
Eddie Murphy
Mike Myers
Phil Hartman
Bill Murray

My favorite newsperson was Dennis Miller. (ALthough if he were on there these days I would tune him out.)

Oh man - I forgot about Phil Hartman!! I think I have to put him in a tie with Dana Carvey
