Bill Murray cracks me up, his lounge singer act was the best!

Depressing, I’m old.

12 for 15 - it’s obvious when I stopped watching the show. The three I missed were the most recent.

I’m not that old, but I’m old enough to not know Amy Poehler from Rachel Dratch…so I guessed.

Also 100%! SNL is such a classic. I’ve been watching the Kristin Wiig skits with her character “Penelope”.
She always has to one-up everyone, even if it’s ridiculous. I can see this character making the next SNQ years from now.

15/15. What a fun quiz!
Though I haven’t done it regularly in a few years, watching SNL with my parents is one of my favorite memories from my childhood. They would recall sketches from when they were younger, and I would say, “Julia Louis-Dreyfus had a career before Seinfeld?” Good times.
As a teenager, I would skip school and watch old episodes on Comedy Central with my bong all day. Again, good times.

100%. Man, I’ve been watching SNL from the beginning. I think I could have named almost all of them (actor, if not character) just by listening, without the names and images.
