I got the idea for this because i was just watching Meatballs on Comedy Central this morning and i realized that Bill Murray is funny in everything he's in , even if it's a bad movie.

Farley and McDonald are hilarious, but I went with Bill Murray because of the number and variety of good roles he has had.

Exactly why I voted for him.

FARLEY. no one funnier in my book.
murray was the second choice (i watched meatballs this morning) and then anyone from the original cast, of course.

I was torn between Bill Murray for being hilarious and Tina Fey for being so...damn...hot...
Bill won this time.

i seriously can't believe someone voted for Chevy Chase.
He was funny in Caddyshack and Fletch and that was pretty much it.

Vacation?
Christmas Vacation?
Spies Like Us?
Three Amigos?
Nothing But Trouble?
Come on, he got my vote for Vacation and Fletch alone

I didn't vote for him myself, but some of the vacations were great and as williek said, three amigos as well.

Rob Schneider was a young executive who had everything going for him. But now, he's about to become....A STAPLER! He's going to find that being a stapler isn't as easy as he thought. Rob Schneider is...
The Stapler. Rated PG-13.

Tough call between Belushi (cut short) and Murray (comedic genius).

I had to go with Bill Murray but Eddie Murphy was close. Even though he has released some god awful movies lately he still has released quite a few good ones along with two hilarious standups.
Andy Kaufman wasn't on the list.
So, I voted other.

andy kaufman wasn't a cast member. He was only a guest a few times in the first season.

yeah i realized that after i made the poll , but i doubt anyone would vote for him anyway. Same with Rob Schneider.

I don't see Anthony Michael Hall on that list

Oh, I'm sorry... I didn't realized you specified 'cast member'... all I read was the headline that said "Greatest comedic star SNL has ever produced".
My mistake.

if he was a cast member he would've gotten my vote as well.
He was a legend.

Murray. Probably would have voted Steve Martin, but he wasn't a cast member despite his 13+ times hosting.

Sandler.

Before I even looked at it, I knew Bill Murray would win even though he isn't the best. He is a hipster's favorite.

I extremely dislike Murray.
Hartman or Farley definitely.
