Snl weekend update hosts 2013

He began his career in stand-up comedy. While writing for Roseanne , he was noticed by Lorne Michaels , who liked In my opinion, Norm will always be the best Weekend Update Anchor. More notably OJ Simpson, which was Norm's undoing. Actor Caddyshack. His parents both came from prominent families, and his grandfathers were artist and The original Anchor in SNL's very first season. Chase hit it big after only a few episodes.

Chase's silly jokes and clumsy attitude worked brilliantly and although he was only there for a season, He's still with the top dogs of SNL legends. Actor The Net. He has been married to Ali Espley since April 10, They have two children. Writer Ghostbusters. Aykroyd attended Carleton University in , where Maybe a bit over the top sometimes, but his hilarious quote "Shut up you slut" was hilarious, even 35 years later. Writer 30 Rock. THE only female Anchor that was beyond funny. Her jokes and likeable attitude cemented her in the top 5 Best Weekend Update anchors.

Actor Lost in Translation. Bill Murray is an American actor, comedian, and writer. He is of Irish descent. Among his siblings are actors Brian Doyle-Murray , But he sometimes worked that to his advantage.

But i'm happy he wasn;t the anchor for to long. Actress 3rd Rock from the Sun. Jane Therese Curtin was born September 6th, He's most famous for saying the f-word on live television , for no particular reason.

Rocket was fired immediately, the show was placed on hiatus and eventually, the entire cast besides Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo lost their jobs. Some Weekend Update hosts have been bad, but only Charles Rocket was so bad he nearly got the show canceled. Later Rocket played the bad guy , Nicholas Andre, in "Dumb and Dumber" where he continued to be tall, handsome and not very funny. She was pushed aside by Bill Murray and Chevy Chase for the season's last two episodes and did not return for Season 7.

She's probably best known for her voice work on 90's cartoons like "Tiny Toon Adventures" and "Animaniacs," but she deserved better from "SNL. The six segments weren't memorable, but then again, nothing on the show was besides Eddie Murphy.

Ebersole only did one season on the show before moving on to a soap opera, still the only "SNL" cast member to make that career move. Ebersole went on to a long-acting career on stage and screen, winning two Tony Awards, appearing in films as diverse as "Amadeus" and "The Wolf of Wall Street," and never reading fake news off a prompter again. That same year, Doyle-Murray did six episodes with Christine Ebersole and eight solo efforts.

Periodically Gross would appear as a field reporter during the BDM-hosted editions of the news. While she didn't return to the news, Mary Gross did survive the cast purge at the end of the season and remained on the show for three more years. Colin Jost took over as head writer and Weekend Update anchor in , though he stepped down from the head writer job for a while before Season He may be a talented joke writer, but there's something off-putting about him.

Maybe it's that he's as smirky as any of SNL's other preppy Update anchors, but without having their chops. It also might be that he's in the wrong era: Comedy audiences have never cared less about the opinions of rich white guys from Harvard. Jost is better the more he loosens up, banters with Michael Che and has a sense of humor about himself. He's worse when he's posing for photos while golfing or writing mediocre New Yorker pieces.

However, no other Update anchor married Scarlett Johansson, so we're sure he won't sweat this ranking. Horatio Sanz filled in at the Update desk for the first two episodes of Season 31, alongside Amy Poehler, while Tina Fey was out on maternity leave. Sanz did fine behind the desk, but the most memorable thing about his brief time on Update was the horn-rimmed glasses he wore as tribute to Fey.

The gravel-voiced Murray was a perfectly adequate anchor for a perfectly forgettable season, who continued appearing in "SNL"-affiliated films for years two "Vacation" movies with Chevy Chase, "Wayne's World" and countless movies with his brother Bill and even wrote for Chase's ill-fated talk show in It followed the Chevy Chase template — good-looking preppy tall guy — but Hall pulled it off much better than Charles Rocket, possibly because he's a solid writer. Hall's most memorable stint behind the desk was probably anchoring the coverage of Buckwheat's death , but honestly, it was tough for anyone to stand out in those years who wasn't Eddie Murphy or Joe Piscopo.

Even the legendary Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Hall's wife since , couldn't get a foothold. Hall's writing was solid, as evidenced with his later Emmy-nominated work on "Brooklyn Bridge" and creating the sitcoms "Watching Ellie" and "The Single Guy.

And "This Is Spinal Tap! Guest took over seven episodes into his lone season, after the show spent a year using its guest hosts as news anchors including two episodes with Billy Crystal as "Fernando". He was perfectly fine, but having Guest not play a character, do live performance. But if he ever wants to make an ensemble comedy about local news, we'd be first in line at the theater.

While she certainly had the chops to grow into the role, as her gig hosting the White House Correspondents Dinner showed, she ultimately preferred focusing on her spot in the main cast. Colin Quinn took over after the controversial midseason firing of Norm MacDonald, and the circumstances made it tough for him to win over the audience.

Quinn is a stand-up legend, and his material was often great , but much of the time he seemed visibly uncomfortable — in a suit, reading from a teleprompter, even dealing with the live studio audience, as he'd often shrug awkwardly when a joke didn't hit.

The anchor chair seemed to take away some of his angry Brooklyn Irish edge, and while his opening monologues were often great, they didn't take as a permanent fixture of Update. But he parlayed what he learned on "SNL" into a series of wildly successful one-man theater shows. Michael Che is the first African-American head writer in "SNL's" history and the first African-American Update anchor in history, and he is now in his fifth year as the co-anchor.

Initially Che wrote for the show, then became a "Daily Show" correspondent for just nine episodes, before being hired back at "SNL" to host Update. Angelo Christmas. Lonely Christmas. Santa Song.
