I did this one time with the whole United States but it was a little hard to read. Maybe this is a little hard to read too, idk.

Mark Pocan and Gwen Moore are our current Wisconsin Democratic Party Congressional Representatives, from the districts covering Madison and Milwaukee respectively. Districts get redrawn every 10 years, and both WI-2 and WI-4 are long-term Democratic Party strongholds because of the big city at their heart. The areas between Madison and Milwaukee, currently represented by WI-5 (and prior to 2000, WI-9), meanwhile, are strongly Republican, and were last represented by a Democrat when they were part of either WI-2 or WI-4 in prior alignments. Most notably there's an area from Oconomowoc to Brookfield that was last represented by a Democrat when it was part of Robert Kastenmeier's WI-2 from 1959 to 1965. The state was required by law to redistrict in 1964 after not having done so in 32 years because of the Supreme Court ruled in Wesberry v. Sanders that the principal of "one person, one vote" that they had previously recognized in 1962 also applied to the House of Representatives. Waupun and Mayville were part of WI-2 in the 70s, Beaver Dam and the area just north of Watertown in the 80s, Fox Lake and an area east of Columbus in the 90s, Portage/Lake Mills/Jefferson/Columbus in the 2000s, and Beloit and western Rock County in the 2010s. WI-4, meanwhile, extended to Waukesha in the 90s (when WI-5 still covered northern Milwaukee County), and as far as South Milwaukee in the 2010s.

Ron Kind was the long-time Democratic representative for WI-3, until stepping down in 2022. Dave Obey was the same in northwest Wisconsin's WI-7, stepping down in 2010. Steve Kagen served two terms in northeast Wisconsin's WI-8, 2007 to 2011, and there were occasionally other Democrats winning that district: 1995-1997 rep Jay Johnson's area had a rural northwest corner of Manitowoc County, and 1975-1979 rep Robert Cornell's district included the city of Kimberly. Peter Barca won the run-off election in 1993 after longtime WI-1 Democratic Rep Les Aspin was made Bill Clinton's Secretary of Defense; Barca was not able to win re-election in 1994.

Then we have to go back even farther. John Race, a Fond du Lac Democrat, won WI-6 for a single term right after the 1964 redistricting. His opponent, incumbent William Van Pelt, appears to have been weakened by a spirited primary challenger who criticized him for missing votes. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/william_van_pelt/411093 says "From Jan 1951 to Oct 1964, Van Pelt missed 69 of 1,321 roll call votes, which is 5.2%. This is much worse than the median of 2.3% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Oct 1964." Race only won the Democratic primary by 600 votes, and then took 50.8% of votes in the general election thanks to a strong showing in Sheboygan county for some reason (both candidates were from Fond du Lac). Dave Obey first won election around that time (1968), and his initial WI-7 went as far southeast as Montello and Wautoma. We already talked about Robert Kastenmeier's WI-2 that went all the way to the Waukesha County border. And that leaves one area that still hasn't been represented by a Democrat since the 60s.

It's most of Manitowoc County (except the part that I already mentioned), which has swapped several times between WI-6 and WI-8, and the last 6 times that those districts elected a Democrat (1964, 1974, 1976, 1994, 2006, 2008) it was on the other side. So we therefore have to go back to the Congressional districts created in 1932 when Wisconsin added a 10th district. In 1942, lawyer and former Green Bay Packer LaVern "Lavvie" Dilweg won election to WI-8, which included Manitowoc County. Dilweg has a pretty interesting life story, born in Milwaukee, playing for the Marquette University Golden Avalanche (as they were called at the time) football team, and eventually joining the law school. He played for the NFL's Milwaukee Badgers in 1926, they folded in mid-November, out of money after the previous year's scandal in which their former owner recruited high school players so that they could play a game against the Chicago Cardinals, who were scheduling extra games to try to win the league championship over the Pottsville Maroons (there was no championship game in those days, the championship went to the team with the best record). Dilweg began his law career in Green Bay and signed with the Packers, doing football in the morning and law in the afternoon. He played end (the equivalent to wide receiver in those days), was on the Packers championship teams of 1920, 1930, and 1931, and was on the NFL 1920s All-Decade Team. His wife Eleanor held the women's world record in the breaststroke from 1922 to 1925, and competed in the 1924 Olympics. Their son Gary Dilweg was in the State Assembly for 4 years (as a Republican), and their grandson Anthony Dilweg played quarterback at Duke and drafted in the 3rd round by the Packers, starting 7 games in 1990 after Don Majkowski's injury, but was cut the following year.

The Republican Party map is a little easier, because they currently hold 6 of the 8 Congressional districts, so all we're looking to see is when the current WI-2 and WI-4 were represented by a Republican. In the previous district cycle (2013-2023), Jim Sensenbrenner's WI-5 included Wauwatosa and West Allis, and Glenn Grothman's WI-6 included River Hills. After the 2002 redistricting, Paul Ryan's WI-1 included a small part of northeast Beloit, and Jim Sensenbrenner's WI-5 included the northeast Milwaukee suburbs, not just River Hills but Brown Deer, Bayside, Fox Point, Glendale, Whitefish Bay, and Shorewood. After the 1992 redistricting, Mark Neumann's WI-1 stretched across the southern portion of the state to just before New Glarus and Monroe. And the big one, Republican Scott Klug was elected in 1991 to WI-6, so he is the last to represent the majority of WI-2. Klug had been a popular reporter on Madison's WKOW TV, and that was enough for a surprise upset of longtime congressman Robert Kastemeier. Klug held the position until he decided not to run for re-election in 1998.

So now we're just down to the City of Milwaukee proper, I think, and we have to go back even farther. In the 1964 redistricting, WI-9 was moved from the western part of the state to cover Waukesha County and the northern third of Milwaukee county. The first election was won by Glenn Davis, a Republican lawyer based out of Waukesha who had previously represented WI-2 for 10 years. Besides the northern suburbs that would be included in other districts later, his district would include northern and western neighborhoods of the City. After the 1972 redistricting those areas would be returned to WI-5. And that leaves areas that have been part of either WI-4 or WI-5 since the 1932 redistricting. So that's the area from Hampton Avenue to College Avenue (and the College Heights neighborhood just past it). Both have had Republican representation since 1932. WI-5, to the north, voted for Democratic (previously Socialist and Progressive) labor leader Andrew Biemiller in 1944, then Republican Charles Kersten in 1946 (who ran under the slogan "Put Kersten in Congress and Keep Communism Out") back to Biemiller in 1948, and back to Kersten in 1950 and 1952. In WI-4, covering the souther part of Milwaukee, former Progressive turned Republican John Brophy won 24% of the vote in a crowded Republican primary, then benefited from Democratic chaos. Union organizer Edmund Bobrowicz defeated incumbent Thaddeus Wasielewski, and then was accused of being a Communist. Wasielewski reentered the race as an independent, and Brophy was able to win election with only 36.5% of the vote in the general election.

she loved that shirt so much she altered the sleeves to wear it again!

This is a quick little thing I whipped up because the Emmy Awards website is real confusing. Over time some categories have changed titles so I'm listing them by the crew member who is eligible to keep it consistent. The award to the Producers is the overall show award, which is now known as "Outstanding Scripted Variety Series", but some wins and nominations for secondary SNL products like anniversary shows are also included.

In individual awards, more than one person on the same show can receive nominations, which is why the host category (which is actually called "Outstanding Guest Actor/Actress in a Comedy Series") has so many nominations (even though the SNL host has only been eligible for 16 years).

Some things you might be wondering:

• Male Cast winners - Chevy Chase (1976), Dana Carvey (1993), Alec Baldwin (2017). I know that last one is a surprise but he did appear in 33 sketches that year, enough to be a Supporting Actor rather than a Guest Actor I suppose.
• Female Cast winners - Gilda Radner (1978), Kate McKinnon (2016), Kate McKinnon (2017)
• Male Hosts - Justin Timberlake (2009), Justin Timberlake (2011), Jimmy Fallon (2012), Jimmy Fallon (2014), Dave Chappelle (2017), Eddie Murphy (2020), Dave Chappelle (2021)
• Female Hosts - Tina Fey (2009) [as Sarah Palin, not a hosting gig], Betty White (2010), Tina Fey & Amy Poehler (2016), Melissa McCarthy (2017), Tiffany Hadish (2018), Maya Rudolph (2020) [actually won for Kamala Harris in the Dave Chappelle episode], Maya Rudolph (2021)
• Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics - Dick In A Box (2007), Justin Timberlake Monologue Song (2011), Come Back Barack (2018)
• Titles won in season 10, nominated also in season 1.
• Nominations for best prosthetic makeup are from episodes Timothée Chalomet (2025), Alec Baldwin (2017), and Jennifer Lawrence (2013).

Originally I included a few extra incidental appearances (where it's a sketch about recording something so they figure they don't have to hide the cue cards), but I've since cut them out to get this video down below 15 minutes so that I can upload it directly to reddit.

Featuring

• Al Siegal, Cue Cards from 1975 to at least 1984
• Tony Mendez, Cue Cards from 1984 to 1993
• Wally Feresten, Cue Cards from 1993 to Present
• and several people pretending to be the cue card person

Scenario 1: sometimes after they have their adventures, their direct to home video sequels, their marriages and their children (I guess Ariel is the only one with a child actually), they suddenly are Matrixed out of their life and discover nothing was real.

Scenario 2: They're all actresses and are forced to dress up in their most famous costume for eternity, until Penelope gets them all to change.

Any other ideas?

I originally made this about 5 years ago, there's been talk about this again so I thought I'd update it. A lot of the leaderboards treat every LFNY the same, whereas I think Chevy Chase doing it solo 34 times is a little bit different than the 12 people on stage all saying it together, no offense to the people who are members of the cast in that time period. If you disagree with me then ignore this list I guess.

The full animated racing chart is at https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/8108542/ if you want to see some people briefly appearing in the early days.

Clearly the best way to lead the LFNY lists is to play the president, which makes Kate McKinnon even more impressive, all she had was presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, she had to get there by playing Sessions and Mueller and Guiliani and Graham and Conway and Warren and Fauci and Wilber Ross and Laura Ingraham.

I also found Tim Meadows appearance surprising, I know he had the long career, but 17.2 LFNYs on the back of O.J. Simpson and Michael Jackson and the Ladies Man is sure doing it the hard way.

Also congrats to Kenan, who moved ahead of Jason Sudeikis with his solo LFNY as Charles Barkley two episodes ago.

As a long time player, I already had most of the girls unlocked so it's great to just bank tickets and know that when the next one comes, I can purchase her immediately and not have to stress about whether I was going to finish the PES.
