I enjoyed him in "The Barry Gibb Talk Show" with Jimmy Fallon (although Fallon clearly carries that sketch)

Fallon could barely get through the sketch. Then again he could barely get through any sketch. I did enjoy the back and forth between he and Fey when they did Weekend Update.

I have enjoyed several guests. Some of my favorites have been Alec Baldwin, Christopher Walken, David Duchovny, JT, Charles Barkley, and Jim Carey.

Tom Hanks has had some pretty funny skits over the years.

The Mr. Short-Term Memory ones are funny.

Great character.

While he appeared in my all time favorite sketch, I don't think he's had the volume of funny sketches that Baldwin has. For me, Walken is probably 3rd to Martin though I find Walken funnier because his stuff happened in my era.

BTW, why did you exclude Norm MacDonald from the list? I can't think of anyone who was funnier doing Weekend Update.

I never said the list was all inclusive and it was not a ranking of funniest. I do believe that a "best of" compilation has been done on the majority of the ones I listed giving weight to their body of work on snl. Norm MacDonald was a bad oversight on my part but I did give the disclaimer that the list was not all inclusive and was off the top of my head.
