Also Victoria Jackson, for inventing "Nic-a-ra-wa" and her Tom Arnold/Roseanne Barr bits with Chris Farley. They would just go after each other.

I don't know if this counts because, technically the group was formed outside SNL but used SNL to push their music...but my recent favorite would be the Lonely Island videos.

If you have hulu, go was richard pryor's first appearance as the host which was in the first season. I'm not saying that snl sucks, because I actually like it right now, but richard pryor could make you laugh like none other. These modern skits might have a few funny moments but pryor just killed the entire time he spoke.
Look here jack, this white dude gave me some stuff said I'm goin be trippin. I ain't goin nowhere without my luggage. :grin:

True... but every era since has continued to produce some huge names in comedy/entertainment. Sandler, Rock, Spade, Mike Myers gave way to Will Ferrell, Jimmy Fallon, Amy Pohler, Seth Myers, Kristin Wiig, Andy Samberg, Jason Sudekis, etc. SNL is still the preeminent entertainment spring-board to major success.
