What’s your
SNL Dream Team?
You’ve been given the opportunity to craft your perfect episode of Saturday Night Live.
From the entire history of the show you get to select 11 former cast members (some of whom may have to be resurrected and/or returned to their youth–he said looking over at Chevy), but you must select an equal number of men and women, except for the person you designate as your Weekend Update anchor. You must also pick your perfect host and musical guest. Only two former recurring characters can be used, so which ones do you absolutely HAVE to see return?
Here’s mine:
Men: Mike Myers, Phil Hartman, Will Ferrell, Bill Murray and Chris Farley
Women: Maya Rudolph, Gilda Radner, Jan Hooks, Kristin Wiig and Amy Poehler
Weekend Update anchor: Tina Fey
Recurring Characters: Wayne Campbell (sadly without Garth) and Matt Foley
Host: Christopher Walken
Musical Guest: Lana Del Ray (Give her a chance to redeem herself from last time.)
I would have done it a bit differently.
Men: Mike Myers, Phil Hartman, Kevin Nelon, Bill Murray, Chris Farley, and Tim Meadows.
Women: Maya Rudolph, Gilda Radner, Jan Hooks, Kristin Wiig, Amy Poehler, and Ellen Cleghorne
Weekend Update anchor: Tina Fey and Kevin Nealon
Recurring Characters: Wayne Campbell (sadly without Garth) and Funky Walker Dirty Talker
Host: Christopher Walken
Musical Guest: Prince
