Welcome to the second installment of our Saturday Night Live cast member countdown. This time, we tackle the next 50 cast members on our list, from number 75 down to 26. Not only does this one have some rankings that will shock casual SNL viewers (and Tina Fey and Adam Sandler fans especially), it also features some sharp disagreements between your hosts, with some cast members being ranked almost 50 spots apart on their ballots.
All is explained in the episode. Enjoy! (And make sure to catch our rankings of cast members 76-128 here.)
