SNL curse: Belushi / Gilda Radner / Danitra Vance / Michael O’Donoghue / Chris Farley / Phil Hartman / Jan Hooks and Andy Kaufman, although never officially a cast member, he seems to get credit for being one.
For a show that’s been on 39 years with scores of players, you’re gonna have some that aren’t around, that’s not a curse. Don Pardo passed, too (the famous SNL announcer).
