All people mentioned thus far are amazing. Hader is one of the best impressionists they've ever had. His characters are great too (Herb Welch). Sudeikis is a great comedy straight man a la Will Ferrell. Samberg (and the rest of the Lonely Island) excels at bizarre, left field humour. Kristin Wiig is probably gonna go down as one of the best cast members in SNL history, as well she should.

Those 4 tend to get all the attention, but the rest of the cast is still great. Seth Myers is great doing update. Bobby Moynihan is building some funny characters, but his work as non-characters or the straight man in a sketch...there's just something about him. Dunno, I think he's always hilarious. Abby Elliot is a good utility female with some funny impressions. Kenan Thompson is probably my least favourite cast member, but he's still got some tremendous characters. Dunno, I will always love Jean K Jean and Lorenzo McIntosh. But probably the best is Fred Armisen, Just hilarious at everything.

Also, the crop of featured players is maybe the strongest as ever. Vanessa Bayer, Jay Pharoah and Taran Killam should all be big parts of the show's future. Nasim Pedrad should already be a full cast member. They haven't really given Paul Brittain much to do yet, but he's been pretty funny in the little bit he's done.

Dunno. Love this cast.

I think the proof of her talent really came with the last Celebrity Jeopardy they did. She was able to hold her own with Will Ferrel, Daryl Hannah, Tom Hanks and Norm Macdonald. I think the last main cast member they brought on for a revamp of that sketch was Jimmy Fallon doing Adam Sandler, and look how well he's doing.
