    • Norm Macdonald (1994–1997) He was the Weekend Update anchor's Weekend Update anchor. Dry, idiosyncratic, and often openly at odds with the live studio audience, Macdonald's bitter brand of humor made him a legend inside and outside 30 Rock.
    • Tina Fey and Amy Poehler (2004–2006) Looking back now, it's wild that we were allowed to see these two together on our TVs every week. Not only were they the finest of the segment's many pairings, but they had the kind of chemistry that managed to give even the most womp-womp punchlines a little bit of pop.
    • Chevy Chase (1975–1976) He was the first, the founder, the one all who came afterward would be compared to. And while his tenure only lasted a year, he provided the blueprint for not only Weekend Update, but, arguably, the many satirical news programs on the air today.
    • Dennis Miller (1985–1991) As the first person to anchor the segment after Lorne Michaels' return to the show, Miller absolutely killed. Passionate and prone to fiery screeds, he was something of a new breed for Weekend Update—a whip-smart, opinionated guy who cared more than he needed to, and was better for it.
