2 Contents Introduction: The show goes on Published at Petitcodiac Regional School June 2016 #5 Bill Murray #4 Will Ferrell #3 Adam Sandler #2 Eddie Murphy #1 Mike Myers I Thought What do you think?

3 Television shows, a topic which a lot of us are well aware of, have been around for a little while. They make their money off of commercials that pay the television company to show them on their channel. After that, you the consumer go ahead and buy the product that is being advertised. Since that system is working so well, it looks as if there is no end in sight. Today, we will be talking about one particular show, Saturday Night Live. Saturday Night Live first premiered on television in 1975 and is still going strong. What makes it different from other shows is the cast. You see, Saturday Night Live doesn t really have a plot that is set in stone. What it does have is a bunch of actors who perform live funny skits. Over the years, the show has had a huge variety of cast members who often end up with giant acting careers. You, as the reader, are especially lucky. Because on this very day, I will be answering the question of a generation... Who are the funniest actors that appeared on Saturday Night Live

4 5 Bill Murray Full name: William James Murray Birth date: September 21 st, 1950 Birth place: Evanston, Illonios, United States Bill Murray, an actor you can rely on when you want a guaranteed good movie. His sarcastic humor is both funny and child friendly. He is also the oldest actor on my list and is popular for movies like Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day.

5 Topic In the beginning Bill Murray Grew up with three sisters and five brothers, three of which who are also actors. As a teenager, Bill worked as a golf caddy to help pay of his education. He then decided to take a pre-medical course at Regis University in Denver which he later dropped out of. Movies Being around for a long time, Bill Murray as starred in some good films along the way. As mentioned before, some of his most popular films are Ghostbusters and Groundhog day. My personal favourite is What about Bob. Bill also does voice acting playing the voice of the famous feline Garfield and Baloo in 2016 s new Jungle book. On SNL Bill Murray was on Saturday Night Live from 1977 and stayed for little while until During his brief time on the show, Bill was in a relationship with former cast member Gilda Radner. Bill is one of the cofounders of the Murray Bros Caddyshack, a restaurant located in Florida formed by him and his five brothers. Quick Fact Bill Murray was arrested on his 20 th birthday for attempting to smuggle ten pounds of cannabis on an airport. #

6 4 Will Ferrell Full name: John William Ferrell Birth date: July 16 th, 1967 Birth place: Irvine, Calefornia, United States Will Ferrell, arguably the funniest actor in the eyes of many. I am really glad to have included him on my list as he is a very popular actor nowadays. He has been quite the comedian his whole life as he was the class clown growing up. He has been in so many hilarious films but some personal favourites are definitely Anchor Man and Step Brother. Keep reading to find out more.

7 Topic In the beginning Will Ferrell parents divorced when he was only 8, but that didn t stop him from being a bright, funny individual. Growing up as the class clown he thought of grade 3 as a pivot year because he had found out that he could make his classmates laugh by pretending to trip and bash his head. He continued these shenanigans all the way to college in Irvine where he was known for pranks and streaking. On Snl Before becoming the famous actor he is now, Will Ferrell was originally a member of the comedy improve group The Groundlings, which wasn t very successful. Luckily for Will, Saturday Night Live was also struggling at this time due to lack of actors. Desperate to find more cast members, they invited some of The Groundlings members [including Will] to join their show. And they were glad they did. Will Ferrell joined SNL in 1995 and was a huge hit until finally leaving in In 2007, Will Ferrell and his good friend Adam McKay started Funny Or Die, a website where you can go on and post or rate funny clips or pictures. It was so popular, it was converted into a card game. Movies While Will Ferrell was in a lot of movies here are some which were exceptionally great. Anchorman, Daddy s Home, Step Brothers, Elf, and The Other Guys. He also played the voice of the blue villain Megamind. Take Note Will Ferrell received a star on the Hollywood walk of fame in March 26 th, #

8 3 Adam Sandler Full name: Adam Richard Sandler Birth date: September 9 th, 1966 Birth place: Brooklyn, New York, United States Adam Sandler, some people may call him immature and say he needs to grow up, but he s a hilarious actor nonetheless. He started his career young with some classics like Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore and is still starring in great films like Pixels and Blended. What makes him different from the other actors on my list is that he also produces his on movies. And that is why he deserves the number three spot on my list.

9 Topic In the beginning On SNL Adam Sandler is of Russian dependence and grew up with his parents and Brother Scott. He attended high school in Manchester. His comedy career all began due to encouragement from his brother who urged him on to the stage of a comedy club. He never turned back ever since. Movies Adam Sandler was recommended to Saturday Night Live by fellow comedian Dennis Miller after witnessing one of Adam s comedy acts. Adam Sandler was first hired as a writer for the show in 1990, and the following year was featured on the SNL playing guitar. In 1995, Adam Sandler was fired from Saturday Night Live. As stated previously, Adam Sandler has his own production company, Happy Madison Productions. He formed said company in 1999 and it produced the majority of his films since. The company also produces lots of movies starring actors like Rob Schneider, David Spade and Kevin James. Again, this actor has a lot of outstanding films, but here are a few. The Water boy, Ridiculous six, Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore. Quick Fact Adam Sandler is currently in a four movie contract with Netflix, The first two movies were The Ridiculous Six and The Do-Over. #

10 2 Eddie Murphy Full name: Edward Regan Murphy Birth date: April 3 rd, 1961 Birth place: New York City, United States Eddie Murphy is a natural born comedian, and he s not afraid to let anybody know. He demonstrates this in his movies whether he s playing a witty cop from Beverly Hills or a very talkative donkey. But is that enough to give him my number two spot, see for yourself.

11 Topic In the beginning Eddie Murphy s father, Charles Edward Murphy died at a young age and his mother became very ill. Because of this, Eddie and his brother were forced to spend a year in foster care where he developed his sense of humor. On SNL In 1980, Eddie Murphy joined the cast of Saturday Night Live. In 1984, he retired from the show, but he played many characters along the way such as Gumpy and Mr. Robinson. Movies Some of Eddie Murphy s best movies are the Beverly Hills Cop trilogy, A Thousand Words and as the voice of Donkey in DreamWorks Shrek. Like many comedic actors, Eddie Murphy is also a stand-up comedian. Did you know that Eddie Murphy is the 5 th top paid actor in the United States? #

12 1 Mike Myers Full name: Micheal John Myers Birth date: May 25 th, 1963 Birth place: Scarbourogh, Ontario, Canada Mike Myers is definitely the funniest actor from Saturday Night Live. You might know him from the Austin Powers trilogy, as the partying rocker Wayne Campbell or even the voice of a Scottish ogre. Mike has been acting since the age of 2 when he did his first commercial but it wasn t until the 90 s when his career really took off. If you are interested to find out more about this legend of the comedy genre and want to know why he made my number one spot, keep reading

13 Topic In the beginning Although Mike Myers was born in Canada, both of his parents were English born. Mike Myers has had some experience with acting as he was in commercials since such a young age. At ten years old, Mike was in a commercial for British Colombia Hydro with actress Gilda Radner playing his mother. A few months later, Gilda was on a show called Saturday Night Live. Mike pledged that one day, he d be on that very show. On SNL Mike Myers stuck true to his and in 1989, he first appeared on Saturday Night Live. Mike played several different characters during his time on the show, but his undoubtedly most famous one was the partying rocker Wayne Campbell who had his own show filmed in his basement called Wayne s world. This was so popular that it had its own film that shared the same name released in Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. And in 1995, Mike Myers retired from Saturday Night Live. Quick Fact Mike Myers wrote the entire script for the Austin Powers series and by the end of it all, he played four different characters in the films. Now that s talent. Movies While Mike Myers didn t play in a lot of movies, he sure did have his share of good ones. The Austin Powers trilogy and both of the Wayne s world films are great examples. He is also the voice of everyone s favourite ogre, Shrek. Did you know that Mike Myers holds citizenship to both Britain and the United States? #

14 I thought Here are the criteria I used in ranking the funniest actors from Saturday Night Live The actor: Played some of the most memorable and likable comedic roles. Made an impact on comedy. Experimented. Was just as funny off screen. What do you think? 1. Do you agree with my ranking? If you don t, try ranking them yourself. Justify your ranking with data. You may use my criteria or you may use your own. 2. Here are other actors I considered: Ben Stiller, Rob Schneider and Chris Rock. Find out more about them. Should they have made my list? Are there others that should be considered?
