Random discussion I was having with a co-worker this morning.

Out of all the former SNL cast members, who do you view as the 5 most successful alumni of all-time?

My top 5 were

1. Eddie Murphy
2. Adam Sandler
3. Julia Louis-Dryfus
4. Chris Rock
5. Will Ferrell

We didn't rank them based on who we thought was the funniest. The criteria was who has done the most with their career since leaving SNL. That could be TV shows, movies, comedy albums, hosting award shows, production companies, etc.

That's a pretty solid list. Can't say I disagree.

Belushi and Aykroyd have to be in the conversation.
