“No other television show has boasted such a high degree of talent than Saturday Night Live. Many big names in comedy over the past four decades have made a name for themselves through the show. On the other end of the spectrum, many comic actors have been hired for the show and were unsuccessful at launching their careers. Honoring the middle ground in between is this list of ten who bombed on SNL before becoming great comics. The criteria is that anyone who served on the show one season or less is eligible, and the ranking was determined by how spectacularly they bombed and how well they did afterwards in the field of comedy.” w/ photos
