🎤 Cast & Performers Who do you consider overrated cast members

0 Upvotes

This may be a controversial topic. No matter who I mention, I'm sure I'll anger people. Sorry. I recognize these are only my personal opinions. I'm curious to know if you think any cast members are overrated and why? If you disagree with my opinions. that's cool too.

Chris Farley - I never thought he had much dimension. He often played the buffoonish fat guy. The show relied too much on his physicality, which I didn't think much of. I think he's overrated because he was a likable person and his death was so tragic.

Bowen Yang - I totally get the importance of having gay and Asian cast members. I love a lot of diversity. I just don't think he's funny at all though. He always seems self-conscious to me. A little hammy and cutesy. Like Farley, I don't think he has much dimension. Yeah, he can play a gay guy or Asian guy, but those aren't really stretches. In any other roles, I don't know. I just think he's kind of annoying. I think part of Bowen's vibe is knowing how beloved he is, but I also think that detracts from his acting. I've never laughed at anything he's said.

John Belushi - Just kidding!

Other than Charlie Day in 2011 and the 5-TIMER goat Danny Devito why hasn’t anyone else hosted from IASIP? Sunny has been around for 20 years or so. Make it make sense.
