Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Jom Lovitz, Phil Hartman, Jan Hooks, Nora Dunn, and in the pre-loony-RWNJ part of their lives Dennis Miller and Victoria Jackson. Gilda was penciled in to host the last show of the season, I think, but the writer's guild went on strike...and the rest of the season was canceled...and then she was sitting in a clinically sterile room, hearing the news from her doctor that you never want to hear

That, would have been a show. But sadly it never happened in this reality
