Wow I never knew that.

RIP Farley. I swear David Spade would be worth another 40+ million from just riding the comedic coat tails of Farley if he never passed away.

He did fine hanging out with Sandler and on his own. Guy banged every playmate and hot actress from the 90's.

Wow Sandler’s numbers are crazy - I would have lost that bet - $3+ billion

RDJ is splitting a good chunk of the marvel movie earnings with his high paid co-stars. Sandler has had very few, if any, high paid co-stars and he's also making producer money.

pretty sure the time he was on SNL was considered to be some of the worst. not saying it was his fault, just identifying why you might not remember him. pretty sure it was before he started to be known for movies like Less Than Zero

Easily. Probably more like 400M.

I remember Farley dying, and then the next thing I know I'm seeing previews of David Spade starring in a movie with some other random fat dude. Turned out to be Artie Lange, but I hadn't heard of him. It seemed like the saddest concession that Spade could possibly make. "Yeah, literally all I can do is odd couple **** with fat dudes who are funnier than me."

Yeah you’re probably correct.

Farley if he invested wisely (half his money in mutual funds and the other half taken over to his friend Asadullah who works in securities) would be a billionaire.

Nowadays they should just make Weekend Update the entirety of SNL.

Also can you guys believe it that Colin Jost was able to wife up ScarJo!?

Good looking dude, Harvard, funny, and head writer for SNL. Not that crazy.

She’s an A+ List celebrity.

He works for the comedic dumpster fire that is SNL.

He was quite good at those. Even though he singlehandedly made Eddie Murphy stay away for like two decades with a joke he made during one of them.

It's definitely a comedic dumpster fire these days, though it still feels like he holds something of a prestige position. I don't know that the entertainment industry as a whole has anything close to the level of contempt for the show that it now deserves, so I don't think it ends up counting as a strike against him.

Beyond Coffee Talk, Mike Myers also did those Simon sketches where he played a British child taking a bath. And then he had another child character where he was hyper and was consequently chained to a jungle gym in the playground. Also he did Sprockets. And Theater Stories. None of these were ever, ever funny. And this was during a period where the show was often great.

Every sketch or improv person would still kill for the prestige of an SNL contract.

This is true, though to McLovin's point, Scarlett is still in a position where they have to beg and plead for her to come spend a week with them and do their show. She is on another level of status.

I'm still not that floored by Jost landing her though. Despite his punchable face, he's a good-looking guy and it doesn't seem like he's outkicking his coverage THAT far.

Perhaps I just expect modern-day SNL anchors to get better than they deserve. Seth Meyers has somehow been holding down a network late-night slot for years and even has a bunch of people out there pretending that he's funny in order to try to justify it.

Seth Meyers has very funny **** on it. Possibly just based on the writers(not amber ruffin).

So, it has been quite a while since I have watched SNL. But it is hard to believe anybody has equaled Norm Macdonald on weekend update.

They haven't. And they probably won't. The anchors aren't bad, but they aren't anywhere close. Nobody touches Norm.
