Saturday Night Live FAQ: Recurring Characters
==============================================
Saturday Night Recurring Characters is a list of recurring characters
from NBC's Saturday Night. I have tried to limit the list to recurring
characters, but some of the single appearance characters have been
memorable enough to list them anyway. I'm also listing anytime a
player has done a celebrity. A few players such as Gilbert
Gottfried and Gail Matthius were on the show so short that they may
not have had a recurring character. If you remember any from back
then, please let me know. There have also been hosts that have played
recurring characters. A few of them have been added at the end of the
list.
