Saturday Night Live has had one totally remarkable roller coaster run. When it was good it was great. When it was bad, it sucked like an Oreck. The bad runs have been often, long and painfully unfunny.
But when the show rocked, it rocked. When hitting on all its cylinders, SNL spun off some of the funniest and brightest entertainers ever.
Time Magazine took at look at what they consider the top ten stars to ever come out the NBC classic.
You don’t have to agree with them. You won’t. We don’t. In fact, the article reminds us of all the years SNL stunk up the joint. But like any halfway decent top-whatever list, it makes you think (this one may make you think, “damn Newsweek would have done a helluva better job”).
Whatever. Time’s Top 10 Post-SNL Careers.

This pisses me off. Time must have nothing but a bunch of dumbasses working. Ever hear of Mike Myers? You know, Austin Powers, Wayne’s World, Shrek? Ever heard of him? No, you list that sour faced bitch Janeane Garofalo? What a crock!
You guys might like this one better – because it is better (except they kinda got Dan Aykroyd and Dana Carvey confused at no. 7).
