I saw a meme that joked about how horror film buffs sit through hundreds of hours of terrible horror movies just to find 1 gem. While I respect that process, I'm the guy that takes those peoples' 1 gem and watches them all.
So what I'm saying is, you're gonna be digging through a lot of terrible content.
You should rank each cast member AND each episode. Make sure to give a detailed rationale for your ranking, with some kind of scoring system for sketches and musical performances to justify your evaluation. Have it on my desk by end of day next week.
@gcowgill Some guy did rate every sketch up until 2018 or so and kept tally in a blog called OneSNLaDay, I think others run it now. Good place for background info and behind the scenes tidbits for any particular episode.
