10 Norm MacDonald Norman Gene Macdonald[ (October 17, 1959 – September 14, 2021) was a Canadian stand-up comedian, writer, and actor known for his deadpan style.

Early in his career, he wrote for the sitcom Roseanne and made guest appearances on shows such as The Drew Carey Show and NewsRadio. Macdonald was then a cast member on Saturday Night Live (SNL) for five years, including anchoring the Weekend Update segment for three seasons. After leaving SNL, he starred in the 1998 film Dirty Work and in his own sitcom, The Norm Show, from 1999 to 2001. ...read more.

Norm is probably one of the best update anchors in the history of the show, up there with Chevy. At the time he was on the show, most of the other cast members were (in my opinion) not that great, but his segment always saved the show! It was really unfair that he got fired.

The best weekend update anchor by far.

21 Kenan Thompson Kenan Thompson is an American actor and comedian. He is known for his work as a cast member of NBC's Saturday Night Live.

It disgusts me when people refer to Alec Baldwin's Trump and Kate McKinnon as the best parts of SNL. Keenan has been carrying the show for years, and is easily one of the greatest cast members in history.
