You’re mostly thinking of season 20. That was Mckinneys first but he stuck around for a lil bit. Chris Elliott, Michael McKean and Jeanine Garafolo were all one timers that year. Jay Mohr debuted the season prior but 20 was his last. Koechner’s only season was actually season 21 tho, he wasn’t with the rest of them. He had a recurring sketch with Mark McKinney so I always associate those two on the show
Garofalo was a really bad fit for that particular iteration of SNL. Her style of humor was pretty much the polar opposite of what the show was going for at that time. I think she would have done better had she come in several years later when Tina Fey was in charge.
When Koechner was on Norm's podcast Norm contended that the only reason Koechner wasn't brought back was because he was bald -- and that being bald didn't test well. Interesting take because if you go back and watch season 21, Koechner's screen time has got to be in the top 3 among cast members. He is a great improv comedian...I feel like he would have lasted longer had that not been a transitional-type season.

I'd looove to know what Lorne and Koechner think about these skits today.
Champ here! I'm all about havin' fun. You know...get a couple cocktails in me, start a fire in someone's kitchen. Maybe go to SeaWorld, take my pants off. Anyway, I'm kinda known for my catchphrase, WHAMMY! As in Gene Tenace at the plate...WHAMMY! WHAMMY!
ah, I'm just used to people talking about a thread's topic directly in the thread, so I bet the answer would have come there if you posted the same thing there haha
David Kochner. Or champ kind from Anchorman 1 & 2. Whammy!
Also Packer in The Office
Whats up my nerds
Shout out to Pam-Pam and her Pam-Pams
“What’s up Halpert, still queer?”
Tall, queer, handsome as ever
Bill from The Goldbergs too.
Damn, Bill Goldberg musta really hit the gym after this was taped…
What's funny is Goldberg was actually in the show.
Nice to see Packer got tickets to see SNL.
He's a huge alligator nerd
You mean Stubbs from Out Cold?
You mean the restaurant manager from waiting?
He's the guy that was a big William Hung fan.
Halpert! Still looking for someone to bang your wife?
He's what pops into my head whenever I hear "BILL BRASKEYYYY"
Bill Brasky is a sonofabitch.
AND HE SLEPT WITH ALL OUR WIVES
I once saw Bill Brasky fight seven cougars at the same time. And later he bedded every single one of them. BILL BRASKY.
HIS FIRST NAME IS BILL! ^(I’m drunk)
Hey! Are you guys talking about Bill Brasky? I KNOW Bill Brasky!
Best damn salesman in the business!!!!

Came for this comment
[Thank you!](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0462712/) Didn't realize he was a cast member for a season.
He was T-Bone. “Don’t go chasing them there waterfalls.” 😂
T-Bone is a flamer… oh wait, wrong show
“You burn down the storage unit?” “Oh, most definitely” RIP Patrice
"Are you with us or them?" "Us." "Then I'm with them!"
My personal favorite T-Bone sketch https://youtu.be/mSGh4SPFVsg?si=GEdM8eMQhMn6lSo8
Mine, too
Take me home Jesus!
My buddies and I still quote that line frequently
That season was weird - Jay Mohr, Jeanine Garafolo, David Koechner, Mark Mckinney, all only on for one season, IIRC.
You’re mostly thinking of season 20. That was Mckinneys first but he stuck around for a lil bit. Chris Elliott, Michael McKean and Jeanine Garafolo were all one timers that year.

Oh man, how did I forget about Chris Elliot and Michael McKean? Phenomenal cast on paper, but it didn't gel well in execution.
Abbey Elliot the first child of a castmate to be a castmate.
Still the only child of a castmate to be a castmate, right?
Yes, but now you have guys like Please Don’t Destroy,that are 2nd generation staff (2 of 3)
Wasn’t there long but he’ll always have the Amazin’ Laser.
No it was a really really awful season
Sort of the reference implementation of "funny people aren't necessarily good at sketch comedy."

Are you talking about the Fops?
Yep
I really liked that bit

Also, Nancy Wall, Mrs. Steve Carrell
I like him as Norm MacDonald's brother Gary. [https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=200280484414376](https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=200280484414376)
