It's
Cheri Oteri, the actress who spent five years on Saturday Night Live playing different variations of the same
character. She always played it wide-eyed and hyper. Want examples? Sure! There's Ariana the cheerleader, prescription
drug lady, old lady on the porch (was that Rita Delvecchio?), and even Mickey the Dyke. Although, I did enjoy her in
the morning news spoof she did with Will Ferrell when the teleprompter went out and they resorted to cannibalism. And,
I know the women haven't received a fair shake on the show, but she's downright annoying. Give me a Best of
Jane Curtin or Jan Hooks or Nora Dunn!I've already got the Christopher Walken (just for the cowbell) and Will Ferrell 'best of's and if I were to add a DVD to my collection, it would have to be Phil Hartman. Best character actor. Ever.

The best "Best of" SNL I ever saw was, believe it or not, Tim Meadows. Well, perhaps Dana Carvey's was a little better, but for a guy with only one real recurring character, Tim Meadows had a LOT of really funny sketches. And hell, it's worth getting for his Census sketch with Christopher Walken alone.
Census-Taker: Yeah. Well, I just need to fill out this Census form with you. Uh.. how many people live in this residence?
Mr. Leonard:Oh, boy.. good question. I'm bad with numbers.. Maybe 80.
Census-Taker: 80 people live in this apartment?
Mr. Leonard: Seems high, doesn't it? Not 80. How about 4? I don't know.. I'm so bad at guestimating..
Census-Taker: Well, just take your time, and count.
Mr. Leonard: Okay.. there's me.. my wife.. our plants.. we have some candy bars..
Census-Taker: Well, you know, we don't count candy bars or plants..
Mr. Leonard: Well, then, there's just the two of us. Boy, I really overshot with the 80!

I hate Cheri Oteri, I hate her name, I hate looking at her, I wince when she's on screen. All she does is scream like a nutbag. The only one I find more obnoxious is Molly Shannon. I liked NONE of the females those seasons. Cheri Oteri is tops ofo the suck.
I do like the girls they have now though...

Yes, Nancy Walls was in the Cannibalism sketch, not Cheri Oteri. Nancy Walls is also Steve Carrell's wife
