54. Damon Wayans

Fish up. Wayans was never given a chance on SNL, but we know from In Living Color what an amazing sketch comedy talent he is. I picture getting the triumphantly returning Wayans from In Living Color with plenty of confidence, charisma and characters like Homey the Clown to use.

[Leo]

Damn. Walken was already taken.



55. Cecily Strong

[Sportsguy]

56. Fred Armison

And we flip it back around to Mayhem.

[Leo]

Special note, because I just got a question. Much like the wrestling draft you're taking people from any time frame you picture them, sort of their peak, not necessarily from when they were on SNL. I kind of explained with my Damon Wayans pick, I'm picturing In Living Color era.

[MayhemNX]

That was my question, given that this guy was considered one of the worst at the time, but returning now as a full time cast member would probably be considered a huge deal..

57 Robert Downey Jr.

Well, that would have been nice to know earlier...

And the voters have the right to see the cast as they see fit. If I want to view them based only on their SNL time, that's what I'll do.

In some cases (coughcoughSandlercoughcough), it'll be a huge help to only look at the SNL body of work.

[Deadly]

In that case...

58. Julia-Louis Dreyfus

[MayhemNX]

Eco already took her at 49

[Leo]

I think Fish's interpretation is the right one. You can explain you're pick and how you see them and how you want to use them, but the voter can consider and picture them any way they want. It's just like the wrestling draft. Didn't think to go over that concept until asked. Hey, this the first time I'm spearheading a draft.

[Leo]

Deadly has a floater and Liz is up. As mentioned, JLD was already taken.

[Sportsguy]

Fucking hell, I was going to do the same damn thing and figured Downey would be safe as a sleeper pick in a round or 2. Nice grab Mayhem

[Deadly]

I think Al Franken is still available. I'll take him.

And as an outsider who specifically brought up expanding it to other sketch shows during discussion, I will in fact vote against using characters from other shows because it really does seem to skirt the intention of the draft and limiting it to SNL. Homey the Clown is not an SNL bit and should not be considered one.

[Sportsguy]

Obviously I know this is an SNL draft, but how can I resist drafting someone who was in one of my favorite movies of all time?
