The SNL GOAT

[Artificial Intelligence]

I never put two and two together that shrek stars two SNL goats Eddie Murphy on snl wasn’t my era.. I was more Farley and Adam sandler

They spelled Keenan wrong......

Edit....... they talking about money

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

I wonder where Jamie Foxx and Jim Carrey would be at

Carrey was THAT DUDE through the 90s up until 2010-ish with "Yes Man", "Bruce Almighty" etc. Felt like every movie he was in did pretty well from Mask, Ace Ventura, Liar Liar......

Jamie Foxx, I don't think he has the volume. He's never tied himself to a big franchise AFAIK. His lane is more about prestige (Golden Globes, Oscars) than being a big box office breh. Sometimes I think his talent makes it tough for him to focus on one thing. He splits between TV, movies, podcast, music, stand-up and so on.

I don't think this is adjusted for inflation, Eddie would really be killing. He had like 3 of the biggest movies of all-time for like 15-20 years.

OK I went to the same site they used: Click Here for The Numbers

They only counted the Domestic Box Office for leading and supporting roles.

I used Eddie Murphy to see if this photo is correct, and I got 46 films with a number of 3.73B for Domestic Box Office and 7.06B for Worldwide Box Office

Doing a list for the In Living Color cast only using the Domestic Box Office for leading and supporting roles the top 3 results are:

1. Jim Carrey 36 Films – 2.65B
2. Jamie Foxx 35 Films – 2.57B
3. Marlon Wayans 13 Films - .81B

Jennifer Lopez 33 Films – 1.12B Biggest Films(Home 2015 animated movie, Ice Age: Continental Drift, Hustlers, Maid in Manhattan, Antz)

Other SNL Cast Members:

Kristen Wiig 32 Films- 2.85B Biggest Films (Despicable Me Franchise, The Martian, HTYD Franchise, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Bride’s Maids)
Dan Aykroyd 38 Films – 2.36B (Ghostbuster Franchise, Pearl Harbor, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom)
Kate McKinnon 17 Films – 1.84B (Barbie, Finding Dory, Ghostbusters, The Angry Birds Movie)
Chris Rock 33 Films- 1.60B
Billy Crystal 16 Films – 1.12B
David Spade 15 Films – 1.05B
Chevy Chase 39 Films – 0.91B (I expected him to be higher)(His highest film is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation at $73,853,467. It made $18,821 overseas)
Tina Fey 13 Films – 0.61B


Those are the SNL cast members that I'd think would round out the rest of the top. If there's someone else let me know.

TLDR: Get you a gig doing voice work in an animated movie for kids

Carrey was THAT DUDE through the 90s up until 2010-ish with "Yes Man", "Bruce Almighty" etc. Felt like every movie he was in did pretty well from Mask, Ace Ventura, Liar Liar......

Jamie Foxx, I don't think he has the volume. He's never tied himself to a big franchise AFAIK. His lane is more about prestige (Golden Globes, Oscars) than being a big box office breh.
