Shawna Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) Bill Murray is one of my faves. He's definitely going to get my vote. No telling how high on the list, but it'll be up there. BTW - Blues' new avatar - is Mr. Bill an SNL cast member?

Shawna Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I'm going with Jon Lovitz for my second nom. And if anyone needs it, here's a list of SNL cast members... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 OH MY GOD! We are smokin'. Nobody ever answered about Mr. Bill. But how about.... Kevin Nealon. I always liked the way he did the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Great minds chickie! ... Kevin Nealon was a consideration of mine as well. Personally, I think Mr Bill should count. He appeared on several seasons, and he's got more staying power than some cast members ... American Express featured him in all those commercials last year.

Steel2Velvet Posted November 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Shawanda - I would say that Mr. Bill has probably not earned much recognition as an SNL cast member; moreover as a featured animation, like the super homos heroes feature (neither of which would I call a cast member of SNL.) But if you have admired the flexibility of Bill's career over time and you are of that mold, put him in the noms list. But keep in mind, there are still lots of quality flesh and blood people that have not been nominated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_M Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Steve Martin was never a cast member and hence cannot be nominated I would say that Mr. Bill has probably not earned much recognition as an SNL cast member; moreover as a featured animation...But if you have admired the flexibility of Bill's career over time and you are of that mold, put him in the noms list. Which is it? Are non-cast members included or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I'll stick with Kevin... although I do love me some Mr. Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I would call Mr. Bill a cast member. However, Bill was smart. He stuck with the show. He didn't quit to go make a series of horrible Hollywood movies. Did anyone nominate Adam Sandler yet? Although, he is the exception to the rule; he's MUCH funnier as a movie star than on SNL. Two more of my favorites: Norm MacDonald and Darrell Hammond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Yeah Sammy, I nominated Sandler after you chose Dana Carvey. My other consideration was Norm MacDonald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_M Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I would call Mr. Bill a cast member. I wouldn't. I don't remember him being introduced in the beginning of the show as a cast member along with the others and he's not a real actor portraying a character on the show. He's an animated character. If we were nominating actual characters from the show and not the actors, then I think he should count as one. I guess if S2V wants to include him, then that's his decision, since he created the thread. I was just looking for clarification of the conflicting posts. But I would vote no, if asked.

TheLizard Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 To me, nominating Mr. Bill as a cast member would be like nominating the Samurai instead of nominating John Belushi. It's a character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skybluesky Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Tough, considering he committed suicide in 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesboy Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 ... then we can do a top ten of SCTV characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I wouldn't call Charles Rocket a cast member either. I wouldn't call anybody from the early 80's a cast member (during the time period after the original cast left and before Eddie Murphy) those skits were awful.
