Carey February 17 Share February 17 At the end of the day, things that were no big deal are sort of just that. Nothing you can do about it.

Is Garrett the oldest living cast member? George Coe made it to 85. Yep. In terms of people that have been on SNL since Day One, other than Coe, Garrett was born before anyone else. George was born in 1929, and Garrett in 1937. Of course people like McKean and Leslie were up there in age when they joined SNL, but that was well within the history of the series. Long story short, George was the oldest and Garrett was second. Everyone else was a little big younger. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151927-s50e13-snl50-the-anniversary-special/page/4/#findComment-8583255
