My Quest for #Compendiums (#Compendia?) | starting with #SNLcasts, with help from @Wikipedia & @Enews | #Compendium
For the longest time, I've meant to post 'a list of all the members of the cast (and some of the crew) of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE'; but I haven't yet (and will start-to below), because ... I don't know, but it has to do with "Compendium."
'That word' (below-hyperlinked to a discussion of this- and other #compendiums (or #compendia?) we want to see on the `Net) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...

The word “Compendium” (a Brief Compilation Containing the |General |Principles or |Leading |Points of a |Longer System or Work) is built on ancient words that mean "to Weigh, |Hang, |Pay (to |Draw, Stretch, Spin) + With, Together" (also |Concise, Shortened & |Abridged but |Comprehensive, Advantageous).
hmm ... maybe I'm mixing up "compendium" with
"compilation" ... although (especially on the Internet)
you should be able to access 'any entry in the whole
"compilation" ... although (especially on the Internet)
you should be able to access 'any entry in the whole
'compilation' from its 'compendium.'

you can go to the Wikipedia-link above to see if they've
listed more 'Not Ready for Prime Time Players' and other
facts (when certain players were hired or -fired, who has
had the longest- or shortest-tenure, who came back to the
show to host, etc.), and I think you can correct anything
they got wrong & can add anything they haven't gotten-
to yet ...
But I'm just putting this list here (among other reasons)
so that you can 'copy & paste' it where you need "a list
of all the cast-members of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.
Speaking of hosts, most of the hosts were 'guest hosts,' starting with George Carlin, going on through several other guests (you can find on various tabs on that page ... some guests hosting, some playing music, some appearing in cameos)

I appreciate your comment, and I'll probably approve it & publish it soon (give me about a week before you try to post it again when it doesn't publish immediately ... thanks)
