Jay Mohr was a comic who lasted 2 seasons on SNL from 1994-1996. He suffered

This week, the first part of a look at some people you might not remember were on SNL. To lead off, a one year cast member from 1984-1985 was Billy Crystal. He had just come off a run on the nighttime comedy, "Soap", from 1977-1981. His Fernando Lamas impression was legendary, but his stay was short as he moved on to movies and other comedic projects. Check out Fernando's Hideaway with the legendary Howard Cosell...

Before her eight year run on "Seinfeld", Julia Louie Dreyfus was a cast member on SNL

from 1982-1985. She honed her comedic chops and perfected her skills as a part of an ensemble cast, which helped her when she starred in her own show, "Veep". Here is Julia

trying to find a mate through a video dating service and ending up with Needleman 

The Dentist...

You probably remember Michael McKean as Lenny (with his sidekick, Squiggy) on the

hit show, "Laverne and Shirley". What you probably don't remember was that he was

on SNL for one season from 1994-1995. Now you can catch him on the hit show, 

"Better Call Saul". 

Ben Stiller has become a very successful comedic Hollywood star and director, but he always felt miscast on SNL. He only lasted 4 episodes in the 1989 season, thought that was not the shortest run of a cast member, that honor was given to Laurie Metcalf (before she was in Roseanne) who lasted only 1 episode. Here  is one of the few Ben Stiller SNL sketches called, "Living With His Parents"...

From 2004-2005, comedian Rob Riggle was a castmember on SNL. He left after one year to appear on The Daily Show from 2006-2008 and then was on the hit show, "Modern Family" from 2013-2019. Now you can catch him doing comedy bits on the Fox NFL Pregame Show. Here is Riggle doing a football sketch at a carnival with Tom Brady in 2006 on SNL...
