2. he's hysterical
But he wasn't that great when he was on SNL. He got a lot better once he left.

5. "Alfalfa is Dead"
Eddie Murphy cracked me up so much. He's never been funnier, to my mind.

10. Can you picture Phil Hartman as Cheney?
He would have been perfect doing the "talking through gritted teeth" thing that Cheney has going.

9. SNL absolutely sucks! It has for a very long time.
Lorne Michaels peaked with "Kids in the Hall."
(Canadians just seem to be more comically gifted than Americans)

13. John Belushi was a comic genius
with an unfortunate taste for speedballs. It in no way diminishes his body of work.
