The best all-time guest on SNL - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I caught the Best of SNL - Alec Baldwin last night on tv.

Has there ever been a consistently better guest on that show than Baldwin? Of the 45 minutes that I caught last night, there were probably 6 or 7 genuine laugh-out-loud moments.

"The Zinger" vs "The Burner" showdown was an instant classic.

"Here, hold this way-too-hot cup of coffee. Hey, can you tell me what time it is? Burned!!!"

Did they show the clips of his cat, Toonsces, who knew how to drive a car?

Alec B is one of the best guests overall, no doubt.

Canteen Boy

Not to get too technical, but as you know, Scrumtrilescent was Will Ferrell's quote playing James Lipton.

Alec B was Charles Nelson Reilly, acting in character as King Lort from "A Troll in Central Park."

where is king Lort? Is he here? Can I speak with him?

"Hello....this is King Lort....there's a troll in Central Park..."

Haven't watched it much but, the bit mimicking the PBS radio series: Schwettie Balls....had me in stitches.

There isn't even a close second.

Steve Martin is arguably the better and more important guest than Alec Baldwin.

Amen and amen.

Alec Baldwin sucks. There is nothing about him that is amusing or entertaining.

Wrong. In the modern era, Alec Baldwin has been the most important, most talented guest.
