I'm a fan but I'll go out on a limb and suggest that most of RM isn't.

Anyone want to talk SNL with me?

I am a fan, though obviously some eras are better than others.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Moynihan seems a little high here. I couldn't put him higher than McKinnon, for instance.

Che and Jost are an excellent update pairing, too.

he just scratches my itch...i like him in almost everything...plus cast isn't that strong to me

che and jost haven't won me over yet, but they're getting better

i like the offbeat mooney and bennett humor, but i don't think snl is going to allow them to delve too deeply into it

I like this cast, and I don't really have a problem with anyone in it. I tried to rank them all, but the only part of my list that felt right was the top three:

Vanessa Bayer
Aidy Bryant
Cecily Strong

Jones is pretty insufferable from what I've seen.

I like her. She's not nuanced but she makes me laugh.

They're all at least 7/10 (Bayer is maybe the strongest of the three) but I think McKinnon is at least 9/10.

Also: Yikes Lenny -- You'd put Rudnitsky above Jones? According to the SNL site, he's only been in 14 sketches to her 76. You really don't like her, huh?
i almost wanted to put him over zamata too based on potential alone

pharaoh does some good impressions, but beyond that i think he's garbage
