Favorites: McKinnon, Strong, Bennett, Mooney, Bayer, Thompson, Moynihan

Least favorite: Che/Jost, Jones

Love most of the women on the cast. Kate and Cecily especially can carry any sketch for me. Bayer isn't as versatile imo, but cracks me up in playing the mom-like or timid characters she tends to play. Thompson and Moynihan are veterans at this point, and can consistently bring the laughs. Kyle and Beck are hilarious and do more out there sketches. Beck has been great this season in stepping in as the lead male on the cast, can do both the straight man and weird characters. Kyle doesn't get as much screen time because he's usually does some strange stuff, but is always funny when he does.

Personally Che/Jost don't really do it for me as weekend update hosts. Che has questionable comedic timing, and while I think Jost is slightly better, he kind of comes off as very Seth Meyers lite. I think it's terrible how much racist/sexist hate Leslie has gotten, but I still don't find her particularly funny.
