Will Ferrell

   This guy will most likely go down as the funniest and best sketch comedy performer of all time.  He is famous for his roles in movies such as Anchorman, Step Brothers, and A Night at the Roxbury.  His movie career helped put him over the top but I think his best and funniest performances came on Saturday Night Live where he truly shined.  His name is Will Ferrell.  He got the job after he auditioned for the show in 1995.  Many people don't know that Steve Carrell also auditioned for the job that year, but he obviously didn't get a spot on the show.  Ferrell's most famoust sketch and the one that he is probably most well known for is his "cow bell" sketch.  In the scene Will Ferrell plays a member of the 1970's band Blue Oyster Cult and actor Christopher Walken plays the record producer.  In skit Ferrell's character's job is to bang on the cowbell during the recording of the song.  Chrisopher Walken interupts the band a few times to tell Ferrell the famous snl line "I need more cow bell!"  He is one of my favorite snl performers of all time and he will go down in history as one of the best.
