"We build churches where are already plenty of churches." - And money.

haha, money is a great fertilizer for churches. Churches pop up everywhere there is money.

It’s time for more baptisms in the campus lake and a fake funeral**

Holup, did Freeze organize baptisms?

Assume you're asking me? Yes, Bama, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Ohio State.....all similar. Alabama is not some tank that is rolling through college football like they were under Saban.

There may be a few others that could be in there too, just don't know enough yet.

Well Bama only plays one more of those teams. Milroe is a big friggin problem for anyone. It doesn’t matter that his intermediate passing game sucks. He can break a run and he has good deep ball accuracy with at least one receiver that can catch anything in his vicinity. TN might top em in a shootout though. UGA took forever to get a good pass game going.

In retrospect, I'd probably give the nod to Chevy. His run on SNL was slightly before my time but I’ve probably seen most if not all of the early seasons.

Jerk or not, he is my favorite of the original crew and his films still to this hold up as comedic genius.

Norm McDonald's dead and Kevin Nealon has been off the show for about 30 years.

ETA: Dennis Miller would take bronze in this event.

I remember watching the first ever episode at Wood Manor. Flipping around (turning the dial) on a Saturday night, happened to run across it and wondered what the heck it was. Became appointment TV for the rest of college and the next 20 or so years. Between getting old(er) and just not as funny, I stopped watching.
In fairness, while the originals set the standard, there've been a ton of incredibly funny folks roll through there over the years.

The current two guys doing weekend update are the best who have ever done it

Imagine saying this when Norm MacDonald existed. All time terrible take here. All time.

I deserve all the abuse I am taking on this one. Norm MacDonald was a god.

They were all great, obviously, but the specific question was about the host of Weekend Update. I know Jane Curtain did it, and Akroyd for a bit, but I still would say Norm and Chevy have to be 1 & 2. Nealon's demeanor and sense of humor puts him up there too.

 

[Dawg1976]

I hope his comments takes him down the toilet.

Chase basically invented Weekend Update, and his deadpan delivery kind of set the tone for the entire show. But his writing was always much better than his performing. In fact, he was originally hired as a writer and just sort of weasled his way onto the cast.

His "run" on SNL was 1 season, plus a couple of episodes in the second season.

I don't care about his off air personality, but somewhere along the way he just stopped being funny. Maybe when he stopped doing coke? He had some funny bits on Community, but the last time I found him really funny was in Three Amigos.

ETA: Give me Norm as top Weekend Update Anchor.
