Cheri Oteri is one of my favorites of the SNL alumni and I really miss her. She was not only a great comedian, but she was a great writer as well. The actors and actresses on SNL write their own skits and really have to fight hard and compete with their friends on the show to get their skits on the air. So they not only act out the skits, but they write them as well. I have seen other alumni in interviews state that the competition on the show is terrible to the point of sometimes getting ugly and backstabbing. Some state it was just too stressful for them to continue on the show. However, the majority of them have gone on to bigger and better projects and fame. They also claim that even though SNL was hard and demanding, it prepared them to move on.
I do miss the Spartan Cheerleaders though. They were my favorites and so were the cone heads. Also, the fake news is another favorite. I liked it best when Colin did it.
Adam Sandler was a surprise to me as well as David Spade. I never found them very funny. But, they also moved on to bigger and better things.
