I'm too young to have seen SNL in all its glory and only catch occasional reruns on the comedy channel or online. Very difficult to find clips on YouTube because of NBC's anal-retentive copyright.
I only know her name because she was on Seth Meyers one night. I don't watch the show and can't say if she's still on. NBC has basically become the all-SNL, all-the-time channel as Michaels' proteges have taken over the late-night acts, and the majority of anything remotely watchable in primetime comes from Tina/Amy. I can't abide Pee Wee Fallon, though, and find Meyers insufferably boring.
I've seen a few reruns of "SCTV," though. Makes me miss John Candy all the more. And I wasn't even alive yet when he died. 
Regarding Thompson, though, had you ever seen Nickelodeon's "All That," considered the "teen's SNL"? He has obviously come a lot further in his career than Amanda Bynes. Did you like Carrey on "In Living Color"?
