SNL Cast Members

I was watching a behind the scenes special on Saturday Night Live and found out that a couple of people I had no idea about were actually cast members on the show. Most of them were only on the show for a season or two at the most. Anyways, here is a list of random cast members from the show that I never knew were on it (and here is a full list of cast members):

· Paul Schaffer – yeah, that annoying guy on David Letterman. He was mostly in the band, but he did appear in quite a few of the sketches during his stint on the show.

· Gilbert Gottfried – very funny guy, not really surprising he was on SNL, but it was surprising that he only lasted one season.

· Joan Cusack – sister of John Cusack and an actress I have always thought to be very funny.

· Robert Downey Jr – yeah, Iron Man was a cast member on SNL, but that wasn't nearly as surprising as when I found out later that the guy is only 5’8. Well, at least he is still taller than Tom Cruise, so he has that going for him.

· Anthony Michael Hall – he is that guy who starred in Weird Science and The Breakfast Club, he’s funny, just not SNL funny.

· Randy Quaid – we all know and love him as Cousin Eddie from the Vacation movies, why he only lasted one season, I will never know.

· Damon Wayans – he was fired right after an episode when he portrayed a character as gay when he was supposed to be straight, shortly afterwards, he went on to star on In Living Color.

· Rob Riggle – great comedian and someone you have seen in a number of movies lately (he was the cop in The Hangover that encouraged those kids to shot the main characters with a taser).
