Top SNL Characters of the 90s...
“Once upon a very not long time ago, Saturday Night Live had character - make that characters.”
I miss it. I really do. I miss the 90’s SNL with a plethora memorable characters consistently present throughout seasons. It was a great time to be a part of the comedy business. The competition to get on air and create new comic icons/catchphrases was ferocious with the caliber of talent on the scene. Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Molly Shannon, Will Ferrell, to name a few, were no doubt the major leaguers of comedy in the 90’s.
