In the most recent issue of Rolling Stone, they ranked all 141 SNL cast members. The results were, well, surprising to say the least. Most shocking was seeing the late Chris Farley at No. 15 and the other 14 that beat him.
Let's get one thing straight: Chris Farley was undoubtedly the best physical comedian ever. But it seems as if SNL hasn't been giving him the recognition and legacy he deserves, especially last night during SNL's 40th Anniversary special.
Despite the iconic sketches he appeared in, including Chippendale's, motivational speaker Matt Foley and Bennett Brauer, Rolling Stone still felt that cast members like Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader and Tina Fey (who made the list at No. 3) made more of an impact on the show than Farley.
Critics always compare Farley's larger-than-life persona and destructive lifestyle to Belushi, so why isn't he closer to Belushi's No. 1 spot?
