    1. Chris Parnell has always been a reliably solid part of anything he’s in.

      Plus, he’ll always be a part of internet history for being a big reason for YouTube’s massive early success (with Andy Samberg, for Lazy Sunday).

      Chris Parnell is great in everything he was in and was perfect on SNL. So versatile. Could be wacky or the straight man.

      Chris totally rocks “*Nature Cat*.” I wouldn’t have noticed this show if it wasn’t for my gf’s kids watching PBS.

    4. His crazy butt-centric patient in SNL’s “Appalachian ER” was always a fav

      Everything I’ve ever heard about working at SNL from so many podcasts and interviews etc make it sound like an almost comically toxic work environment.

      I just recently found out he’s also in GTA 5 Online as Tom Connors.

    7. Chris Parnell was the Phil Hartman of his SNL generation. Instantly believable as a straight man and had the ability to say absolutely absurd shit to make you laugh.

    8. I waited on this gentleman a few years ago. To say he was unpleasant would be kind.

    9. In Hotel Transylvania 3 he starts a spoken word of Macklemore and Ryan Downtown. Never could find a full copy.
