	Jane Curtin is spelled wrong.

	cerridwencol:	Dec 19th, 2008 at 04:32 GMT	0 points
	yes it is - I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed.

	Esteban:	Dec 19th, 2008 at 04:40 GMT	6 points
	wow, a lot of bonus answers on this one

	wasn't spade a host too?

	Jaspers:	Dec 19th, 2008 at 04:55 GMT	9 points
	Joshua, you ignorant ****. That is how she spells her name. Also, Spade had 'Spade in America,' an offshoot of Weekend Update focusing on celebrity one-liners.

	Jaspers:	Dec 19th, 2008 at 04:56 GMT	5 points
	Dangit. Censorship ruined the joke. s-l-u-t

	For the life of me, I couldn't spell NEALON right. For some reason I thought it ended Nealand. Oh well. Great quiz tho.

	Tina Fey is a goddess

	Guh, I can't believe I forgot Nealon. Still, I'll take 11. And I agree with Esteban- I grabbed a couple of random bonus answers, and then tried other ones I knew were never anchors just to see if they'd be bonuses (your Sandlers and Murphys and Farleys of the world), but alas, twas not meant to be.

	there is a ton of bonus answers from the 80's

Comment below threshold: show it

	Wendy, I think you need to check your spelling...and maybe switch to decaf

	danc1005:	Dec 19th, 2008 at 14:58 GMT	15 points
	@ Wendy: Sorry, you're wrong, his name is spelled AYKROYD, just as it is in the quiz.

	Who are the bonus people everyone found, mark it with a spoiler?

	archman:	Dec 20th, 2008 at 03:05 GMT	4 points
	SPOILER: I found the following bonuses: Edwin Newman, Billy Crystal, Ed Asner, George Carlin, Buck Henry, Jesse Jackson and Joe Piscopo.

	I can't believe i forgot Nealon. I spelled Curtin and Aykroyd wrong, forgot hall and never knew the last 4. Also, John Stewert should be a hidden answer if all of those other ones are. He never made the desk, but the "bench player" bit was great.

	andy:	Dec 20th, 2008 at 13:14 GMT	3 points
	I mean I never knew the last 4 were update hosts; I know who they are.

	Kicking222:	Dec 20th, 2008 at 13:54 GMT	3 points
	SPOILER: Add Horatio Sanz to Kevin's list. The only others I found when I actually did the quiz were Piscopo and Henry... I actually checked back just to see who others had found.

	drn211:	Mar 6th, 2009 at 04:24 GMT	1 point
	Michael Douglas, Bob Uecker, George McGovern, Robin Williams and Don Rickles are also bonus answers.

	TheKeymaster:	Apr 11th, 2009 at 23:34 GMT	1 point
	I only missed the Murrays (and can't believe I did) and Mary Gross.

	shoredude2:	Jul 4th, 2009 at 05:36 GMT	1 point
	Got my first bonus answer ever. I swear though that Buck Henry did it more than once. Otherwise somehow squeaked all of them in with 3 seconds to spare. I watch too much TV.

	I got brian doyle murray and missed bill murray...what kind of brian cramp is that.

	Dennis Miller was the best. Fallon was the worst.

	LuxaryYacht92:	Feb 12th, 2010 at 23:37 GMT	2 points
	Norm is the man.

	qtowndogg:	Feb 24th, 2010 at 14:52 GMT	1 point
	I got 12 bonus answers. Were there any more?

	Bob91351:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 22:21 GMT	0 points
	I could have sworn that Crystal and Piscopo did more Updates... Dennis Miller was great (and I LOVED him on Monday Night Football - brought some intelligence to the booth at last). I hated the years that they prefaced Update with "and now, the FAKE news..."

	NardDog:	Mar 27th, 2010 at 21:33 GMT	2 points
	Jimmy Fallon was the best. He has a great personality and I like his presentation even if he does giggle hence why I love LNWJF. I got em all and there were some bonus (Horatio Sanz, George Carlin, Ed Asner and I'm sure there were more).

	dph9:	Aug 24th, 2010 at 21:43 GMT	1 point
	If bonus answers aren't counted, the quiz rules should state "Hosted more than 5 times", or something along those lines.

	Best SNL Anchor: Jimmy Fallon! I absolutely love Jimmy! He has that kind of personality that anyone could gravitate towards and I even have a bit of a crush on him =) He is just so funny. even if he makes a mistake or throws in a snicker here or there, but that's what makes him so great! He is not perfect, just like anyone. Wow, I'm starting to sound a little creepy now...

	Tuning_Spork:	Jun 16th, 2011 at 04:59 GMT	1 point
	Bonus answers I (legitimately) got were Buck Henry, Joe Piscopo, Billy Crystal and, just on a lark, George Carlin. Ones I stumbled upon were Jesse Jackson (was thinking of Victoria) and Edwin Newman (had Laraine in mind). Forgot about Mary Gross, but now I do remember her anchoring. Miller, MacDonald and Fey (in no particular order) were the best!

	SPOILER: Got Horatio Sanz as a bonus answer. Apparently he did weekend update twice
