This is the natural counterpart to last month’s list of hot SNL ladies, and you know, I thought this would be easier.  There are generally more men in each year’s cast than women, after all.  And yet … it wasn’t.

1. Jimmy Fallon. I sort of hate myself for putting Fallon first.  He’s smug, laughs at his own jokes, and thought himself and his in-crowd crew with Horatio Sanz better than other cast members.  But he’s also adorable, does a hilarious Barry Gibb, and has been duly punished for his hubris with his lack of a movie career.  Watch for him next when he takes over the desk from Conan O’Brien, when Jay Leno mercifully goes gently into the night.

2. Andy Samberg. Floppy haired, goofy grinned, casually dressed, master mimic.  Andy came to fame with “Lazy Sunday,” clinched his spot with “D*ck in a Box,” and raised the ire of Mark Wahlberg with his biting imitation of the former Funky Bunch leader.  Reportedly dated Kirsten Dunst, but I won’t hold that against him - much.

3. Robert Downey, Jr. Before Less Than Zero, before Ally McBeal, before passing out in a strange small child’s bed and returning triumphantly in recent years, Robert Downey Jr. was part of the worst SNL casts on record.  Doesn’t mean he’s not a talented or good-looking cat.

4. Anthony Michael Hall. Even in his geek days, playing “Farmer Ted” in Sixteen Candles, AMH was on the good side of adorable.  In fact, he was my second celebrity crush after Simon Le Bon.  He’s one of the more sucessful Brat-Packers these days, with a successful cable show and a decent filled-out bod.  His brief stint on SNL occurred as he was maturing into the man he is today.

5. Damon Wayans. Wait - there was a Wayans on SNL? Yes, the best-looking and second-least-annoying one. Prior to In Living Color, Wayans was part of the not-ready for primetime players.  Shawn and Marlon, creators of such masterpieces as White Chicks, are the Jim Belushis to Damon and Kenan-Ivory’s John.

6. Seth Myers. Picked up the nerdy-cute news-anchor flag from Jimmy Fallon, but may be donning the smug mantle as well.  Still, the cuter of the SNL Myers, as Mike lost any appeal after putting on that Wayne Campbell wig.

7. Jason Sudeikis. Tall, strong-jawed, and conventionally handsome, Jason is a skilled character actor but became truly lovable in his arc as Floyd, Liz Lemon’s Cleveland-native boyfriend in Season 1 and 2 of 30 Rock.  Bring back Floyd!  Cleveland doesn’t rock as much as Tina Fey.

8. Tim Meadows. One of the longest-running cast members on SNL, Tim Meadows played the character of The “Ladies Man,” with conviction, because he is one smooth mother effer. Aging well, to boot.

9. Dan Aykroyd. It’s hard to believe, but prior to the massive weight gain and bad haircuts (and even before his bizarre appearence in USA for Africa), Dan Aykroyd wasn’t bad to look at.  In fact, he was perhaps the most attractive of the original cast.  As one of the “Wild and Crazy Guys,” he strutted around in tight pants and, shockingly, didn’t look half bad.

10. Norm Macdonald. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Perhaps the least conventionally attractive man on this list, but also my favorite SNL news anchor ever.  The curly hair isn’t bad, and the permanent sneer adds to Norm’s charm.  Plus?  Dirty Work.

Backstage at the CMAs,
