    I honestly feel that SNL just goes from strength to strength with such amazing players in recent years, most of whom are listed here. The women are exceptional (Vanessa Bayer, Aidy Bryant, Cecile Strong, Kate McKinnon, Heidi Gardner) and go toe-to-toe with the guys, while Beck Bennett, Mikey Day, Keenan Thompson, Bill Hader are all such exceptionally talented and professional performers. I've enjoyed SNL more in recent years with these come and gone cast members more than at any point in the past. They just rock it at 30 Rock. And despite all being exceptional comic actors, I can see dramatic talent along the lines of Dan Ackroyd....one of my favorite roles that he has played is as Jessica Tandy's son in "Driving Miss Daisy". Lorne Michaels always comes across as exciting as a wood board, but his ability to recognize and nurture talent is remarkable.

    Obviously whoever put this together doesn't actually watch SNL because Jimmy Fallon was actually known FOR breaking in sketches. He did it all the time. He did it so much that it wasn't funny anymore, it felt like he almost did it on purpose to get a cheap laugh. And it also started to feel unprofessional. It used to annoy me so much. I couldn't understand why he was even on the show anymore eventually.

    If it hasn't already been done, it'd be great to have a list of times when only one cast member or performer didn't break (even if they were only a background character) while everyone else around them did.
    In addition to the ones briefly mentioned in the above video, it could include:
    1. Cecily Strong in the "Close Encounter" sketch where Ryan Gosling infamously loses it, but so does everyone else, except Cecily.
    2. Fred Armisen in "Debbie Downer" with Ben Affleck. Ben was laughing so hard, he could only squeak out his lines. Everyone was cracking up except Fred, who kept a straight face.
    3. Molly Shannon in a Mary Katherine Gallagher Christmas skit with Rosie O'Donnell, Whitney Houston, and Penny Marshall. Rosie and Whitney got the giggles but Molly maintained a dead serious face.
    4. Vanessa Bayer in the Price is Right-style skit where Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, and Bill Hader got the giggles.

    There was no “subtle break” at all in Chris Parnell’s performance in that skit. So yea, thumbs down for just being completely wrong I guess.

    No mention of the "New Studio" skit, I guess, since it was cut for time and goes dark in its humor, but Taran, Kenan, Vanessa, AND Ariana Grande all break on it, it's pretty good
