@Yanny:
Ok, Only Mike Meyers can compete with my heavy weights…
Chevey(or is it Chevy?) Chase - Original Cast! 3 great movies and 30 bad ones!
Bill Murray - Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, and much much more…
Adam Sandler - Need I say more?
Chris Farley - Standing up for the fat guys!
David Spade - “Now the pupil has become the teacher!”
Chris Rock - Can’t beat his stand up (Well, maybe Lewis Black can, another American)
Eddie Murphy - Great Actor, Funny Guy, hell he even had a hit song!
Martin Short - He’s Canadian?
Dave Thomas - The Wendy’s guy?
Colin Mochrie - Ok he kicks the crap out of all of them. I’ll give you that. Whose Line is it Anyway by the way is my favorite TV show :) But hell, we got Ryan Stiles!
Ghostbusters - included Rick Moranis, Dan Akroyd and Harold Ramus - all great Canadian comedic actors
Chevy Chase - National Lampoon - much of his material was written by either Harold Ramus or Lorne Michaels
Adam Sandler - ok, now i AM pulling out Norm Macdonald, ‘cuz i think he’s funnier than Adam Sandler and plays opposite to him.
Chris Farley - he’d be just another fat corpse if it wasn’t for John Candy
David Spade - ok, he’s funny
Chris Rock - not funny. relies on populistic humor. Just for that i’m mentioning Howie Mandel as you probably like him too (canadian, sadly)
Eddie Murphey - yes, a genius, ok.
Martin Short - you’re damn tootin’ he’s Canadian (starred with Chevy Chase AND Steve Martin in The Three Amigos, by the way)
Dave Thomas - he and Rick Moranis were Bob and Doug Mackenzie on The Great White North. He was the pharmacist in Grace Under Fire
i do like rick stiles tho’
and i noticed you didn’t comment on any of the Kids in the Hall . . . too funny and hip for SNL anyway . . . .
Oh yeah - forgot about Jim Carey (sometimes funny), Chong, Phil Hartman - brilliant SNL actor - also starred with David Foley in Newsradio, David Steinberg (brilliant brilliant).
Not a bad list from a little country near North Dakota . . . .
