Do you like the current SNL cast?
I actually can't wait for the show to come on the air again which might sound crazy.
Of course it will never match the cast with Carvey, Myers, Hartman, Sandler, Spade Nealon etc but the current cast is ten times more funnier than the cast in the mid 90's.
I could not stand the mid 90s cast with Anna Gastayer, Molly Shannon, Cheri Oteri and Chris Kattan.
They sucked and they never were funny.
Amy Poehler is probably the funniest person on the show next to Horatio Sanz.

To me, he is the funniest thing. He always gets a laugh from me.

I don't much care for he current cast. The old cast of the early 90's (Myers, Carvey, Sandler, Farley, etc...) were hilarious without having to visibilly supress laughter during the skit.
This cast seems to laugh their way through the funnier skits and it gets annoying...like the joke is whether or not they're going to be able to keep from laughing

I find the current cast okay, but hopefully they can add another person that really works next season. But as a sidenote, I remember people saying the show wasn't very good even back when Sandler, Hartman, Farley, Myers, and so forth were in their heyday. Of course you can't please everyone, but sometimes I think people look more favorably as the years pass.

They should just bring in the whole cast of the Upright Citizens Brigade. I loved that show.

Despite what people say, I really have a fondness for the mid-nineties team of Cheri Oteri, Jim Breuer, Chris Kattan....
You could tell that they were really hungry, and you could really feel the Groundlings/Second City influence in their sketches.
A lot of current material nowadays feels very lazy and uninspired by comparison.

The absolute best period for SNL, IMO, is the early-to-mid 90's. Phil Hartman, Norm McDonald, Chris Farley, David Spade, Kevin Nealon, Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Tim Meadows, etc. Truly all greats in SNL history that will take an awful lot to top.

What? Horatio Sanz is funny! Don't diss the fat man.
No only is he not funny, Jimmy is a big freaking Sandler wannabe, period. So glad he got his ass kicked off the show. But who's doing weekend update w/ Tina now?

I like the current cast and I am really curious to see who will take over Jimmy Falon's place on Weekend Update. I think Seth Meyers would do a good job. Since Jimmy is gone, I guess he would be the "hearthrob" for the girls.
