Davidson, the man who joined as one of the youngest cast members ever, will be in his eighth season, tied for 16th most. But why? Quite the opposite actually, as any talk show appearance featuring former SNL cast members can tell you.

John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd did it first with Blues Brothers but this kept happening for years until it stopped when Will Forte left SNL to star in the now-cult hit, then-box office disappointment Macgruber in The state of movies now is just not conducive to crafting a comedic film career in the way it had been for so long, though. Not only is the SNL character movie gone, but studios have de-emphasized mid-budget films and essentially eliminated traditional comedies in lieu of making their comic book movies and other big budget IP adaptations into joke fests.

This basically kneecaps any attempt at replicating the sort of career Wiig has had or, even moreso, that Bill Hader has had. Davidson, whose fame expands beyond SNL and into the tabloids, is basically in a different conversation than his fellow long-term castmates. That movie was directed by Judd Apatow, whose directing and producing output was one of the key star-making chances for SNL stars, including Hader, for years. Hader elevated his profile not just through being an absolute superstar on SNL , but also by appearing in prominent, memorable roles in movies like Superbad and Forgetting Sarah Marshall both produced by Apatow while still on the show.

It featured Mick Jagger as a school head at a graduation ceremony. You have all this stuff going on in your head, like, 'I can't believe seven years has gone by, and I'm going to miss all these people. Wiig need not prove her comedy prowess to anyone.

Here are some of the entertaining performances by Wiig. Wiig stars as a Target employee who seems to be extremely excited and happy in life.

The eccentric cashier also strikes up bizarre conversations with her customers. Each time she does something wicked, the other children in the class are questioned before it gets back to Gilly.
