"Saturday Night Live" has made stars we can never forget: Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler.
They're comedians who found their talents on the legendary NBC sketch show.
But it wasn't that way for everybody. Over the years, "SNL" has been notorious for quickly cycling through some cast members. Some even have horror stories about their time on the show.
These stars, however, made it out and found fame with their acting and comedy anyway.
Here are the most notable "SNL" cast members you probably didn't even know were on "SNL" (they all lasted for only one or two seasons):
Robert Downey Jr.
Seasons: 1
After putting in time in theater, Mr. Iron Man joined a younger "SNL" cast. But facing wide criticism of the cast and poor ratings, the sketch show axed Downey and most of the rest of the cast. Honestly, it probably helped him become one of the biggest movie stars in a generation.
Jim Belushi
Seasons: 2
The late John Belushi is synonymous with "SNL," but his brother joined after John's death. He didn't last long, however, before becoming better known for movies like "About Last Night..." and "Little Shop of Horrors."
Chevy Chase
Seasons: 2
An original cast member, Chase did a lot with his short time on "SNL," including making "Weekend Update" a staple. He exited for an ultimately successful run at movies and left in his wake Bill Murray, for which we're all grateful.
