I don’t know what the SNL casting directors were thinking when they passed on John Goodman. They obviously realized their mistake because Goodman has hosted SNL 14 times, and he returned to the SNL stage as a guest star this past season.

This guy is iconic. He’s a Coen Brothers staple. He’s Sully from Monsters Inc. But he was never an official SNL cast member.
