Top 10 SNL Cast Members No. 6: Jimmy Fallon

Over the next couple weeks (err, months), I'll be counting down my choices for the all time best cast members from Saturday Night Live, one of my favourite shows over the years.

Two certain criteria need to be met: 1) no cast members before 1990, because I didn't watch the show before that time, and 2) no members of the current cast, because it just isn't that good.

Jimmy Fallon (1998-2004)

First of all, it seems ridiculous that Jimmy Fallon left the show SEVEN years ago. Time... man.

Despite Fallon drawing the ire of some SNL traditionalists, I never found him to be anything but funny and entertaining. Sure, he holds the world record for most times breaking the "fourth wall", but I don't think it ever took away from a skit. Quite the opposite, I'd say.

Pictured above is Fallon as "Sully" of "Sully and Denise", the Boston teens who over-do the Boston accent to perfection. "You ah so retahded!" "No, you ah!" When Ben Affleck got involved, it was even better. Yes, I'm also an Affleck apologist.

Fallon is included in this list simply because I think he was great as a cast member and this is my list. It's too easy to look at him breaking down in laughter on camera and hate it. I embraced it and I'm glad chose to do so, because I would have missed out on a lot of funny material.

"Hello, my name is Carson Daly, and I'm a MASSIVE TOOL." I mean, come on.

His most well remembered character is probably "Nick Burns", your company computer guy, always called in to an office to do some tech support. "MOOOOOOOVE!"

While "Sully" is my favourite Fallon character, his impersonation of Barry Gibb is not far behind. His work with Justin Timberlake on the "Barry Gibb Talkshow" was tear-inducingly funny.

And let us not forget that he was the co-host of Weekend Update for a long period of time as well. Solid stuff with the always funny Tina Fey there. Oh how the thought of those two make me hate Seth Meyers even more.
