After seeing the response from our analysts’ ranking of the top 30 television characters of all-time, we decided to focus next on one of the most beloved TV shows in history – Saturday Night Live.
We asked Mike Tagliere, Kyle Yates, Bobby Sylvester and Dan Harris to provide their top-50 rankings; we then combined those results (Expert Consensus Rankings-style) to provide you, the reader, with a master rankings list.
So, without further delay, here is our top-50 list in all its SNL-style hilarity:
