Roseanne Roseannadanna on King Tut - SNL 

My Favorite!

And Jane Curtain.

MORE LIKE IMPOSSIBLE.✌️🙏

They were true originals. Most of what is on SNL now is just derivative.

Belushi & Radner-- King & Queen of SNL!!!

You are only new once.

Bill Murray and Gilda Todd and Lisa😂😂

Aside from a very few exceptions..........I completely agree. Gilda Radner though..........never got a chance to show us how truly great she was. I watched SNL to ONLY see Gilda. When she went, I stopped watching.

And, Steve Martin

The SNL Class of 1980

amen.

One of the funniest characters EVER created! Roseanne Roseannadanna was an absolute classic!!!

@@bobcarlino7280 Nobody has come close to her!

I remember about the only time I saw her "lose it" was during one of the sketchers of her and Bill Murry when he played Todd.

Me to loved her.

Me too. She was a gem.

It helps to have a great foil

Yes.

I watched SNL back in the 70s and 80s as well. As a teenager, I was allowed to stay up until 1:30 AM just to watch SNL. My parents slept through me laughing my bag off! And Gilda was high on my list of favourites.

except the 90s. SNL was the best in the 90s

@@nunyabizwacks6711The 90’s were good but the original cast was breaking ground into uncharted territory

watch the good doctor

Topical without vitriol

🤓 yes . they did alot of drugs. alot of organic chemistry.

A more carefree time, miss those days of old. RIP Gilda

@@kevinparker5557 Ormasbic! Lol

Amen to that

Either they are kids that don't know any better, or they love being Trolls to get attention.

Or sad she is gone. 🙁

People who down voted are the overly sensitive people who whine about everything. Most of 1970's era TV couldn't be made in today's society. Back then we could make fun of everything, people had a sense of humor. Today too many people have no sense of humor, just a large sense of entitlement.

When in college, watching SNL was a highlight of our week. These shows were hysterical! I'm sure most kids today wouldn't even find it funny sad to say.

@Michael Savin I hope she had all her stuff so she didn't have to shop for herself and Gene Wilder when they got there. Damn, she was great.

Nocturnal Rites its Radner.

...and still to this day...Jersey sucks.....

Actually, Gilda was a dude born with a vagina.

@@phildouglas9086 really, what does that mean? Because she was funny? John Belushi thought women weren't funny. Was she using physical humor more than other women? Men are maybe more into that.

The new "Not Ready for Prime Time Players" are those still left (?) on the Colorado University football team...

Gilda was a natural. She not only had a great sense of comedic timing, but she also had a great all-around sense of what it takes to make people laugh. She also knew how adorable and cute she was and she often injected that side of herself into her characters. She'll never be equaled.

She was so very great as this character!! I loved her ‘news’ reports, especially the one that where she describes people going to the beach after a long winter: all pale with disgusting bumps etc!! 😂😆🤣😂❣️

I was a little kid....you know days kids had kids and as if anyone noticed or cared we watched this late at night....watched until the song then static

Remembering Steve Martin performing his amusing King Tut routine, complete with dancing girls.

Yea, I remember too.😊

Cancer warning

Those were the very best days of SNL.

Larry Mitchell 100% Agree!!

Shirley Swindle Yes indeed! To me, SNL means Jane C. and Bill M. and Gilda R. and Dan A. and them guys

Larry Mitchell agreed 😊

I agree 1st group was the best.

No. There were skits that sucked back then and there are new skits that are great now. Watch 'em.

Amen to that

True. It's just not the same. New ones aren't really funny. I loved this show and Mr. Bill....omg we'd cry laughing so hard at Mr Bill. Kids today, don't know who this was. Great memories.

@@jsdoggg96 If you like political crap. This was the real SNL. Father Guido, Rossane, the Killer Bees, Samaria Deli.

She was the peanut butter to Gilda's jelly.

I agree! Jane and Dan were the best of the original lineup.

Jane was the perfect foil for John Lithgow in 3rd rock from the sun.

* Loved when Jane scolded Emily Litella (Gilda) for getting it wrong & Emily responded "B|+¢h!" ☺

Jane in the heat was great wasnt she? Going by in the car ?

I still quote her to this day.

@@quasimobius same

AND WAS MARRIED TO GENE WILDER HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE DINNER WITH THOSE 2?????

Back in the day when SNL used to be funny. Now it’s just boring lame regurgitated insults at Trump

@@quasimobius (with shame I have to admit) sometimes I do blurt out "but NOOOOoooooo!"

Jane laughed on camera only one time, when Bill Murray interviewed Mrs. Ed (voiced by Gilda) after Mr. Ed’s death. The horse wouldn’t face the camera and Bill and Gilda ad libbed brilliantly. When Bill tossed it back to Jane, she couldn’t help herself. 😄

Someone copied your exact comment. How original. Lmao

@@markschildberg1667 hahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha.

im sure there was more than one take on a lot of those sketches. lol!

@@bruce369able A lot of takes... is not the way live TV works. 😎

Funnel?

@@HansDelbruck53 Yes, definitely a funnel person. Don’t you understand English

@@janetownley I've met many a funny person in my lifetime, but not one shaped like a funnel.

Hello Helen, how are you doing?

That, alternating with, "I thought I was gonna *die!"* And don't forget Emily Litella... Fred

Hello Ann, How are you doing?

@@ffggddss Emily Nutella was the person who invented the hazelnut spread that is so popular today. . . . Oh, you said "Litella"... never mind. 😁

My fav too! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

GILDA COME BACK WE NEED YOU

if you didn't know how Mr bill died come monday morning on the bus ride to school, you might as well sit in the front by yourself. i was bearly old enough to be up to watch SNL back then. Live meant Live. thank god it was saturday night or it would have been past bed time.

Man I miss her💞SNL was it back then!!! I still watch SNL... It still rocks for me😝😜🤪😘

I AGREE SOOOOOO MUCH!. Not just Gilda, but SNL will NEVER be as incredibly funny as it was in the late 70's through the 80's!

I was like 7 years old and I remember laying in my sleeping bag next to the fireplace,and watching this show,and still remember,GOOTIMES,for real 100%

@@dianehess9966 I used to like "SNL", but it's NO longer funny. When the good players moved on or died, I quit watching. "Laugh-In" was funnier.

Hello Maureen, how are you doing?

Don't forget her one-girl show she did on Broadway

I hate to break it to you. But willy Wonka isn't real.

@@johncruise496 HEY! Don't say that, don't even think that.

She married Johnny Depp? Thought she was a bit before his time.

Gene Wilder. The first Willy Wonka.

@@thomaspaull2594: No she didn't. Johnny Depp was an adolescent in the 70s.

It just goes to show, it's always something.Lmfao💙😸✌🏻

she'd love to know that!

same thing happened to me after back surgery...the film was 'blazing saddles'...it hurt so much to laugh but it was worth it!!

Arlene Carol that’s funny! Gene wilder and Richard pryer? I think maybe wrong Mel brooks ?

elsa blue No, Blazing Saddles was Gene Wilder and Cleavon Little.. Absolutely one of the funniest movies EVER! 😝😝

@J Weider..ME TOO, LOL! I COULD TELL THATJANE WAS STRUGGLING TO KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE..I WOULD HAVE BUSTED OUT LAUGHING WHEN ROSEANNA WAS TALKING ABOUT THE FOX AND THE GRAPES.."that little Fox JUMPED! AND JUMPED!", RIGHT IN JANE'S FACE, LOL! I ABOUT FELL OUT OF THE CHAIR, IT WAS SO FUNNY SEEING THE EXPRESSION ON JANE'S FACE! SHE DID GREAT..

The. Best!!

@@ericelam8325 YEAH, BUDDY! CRACKS ME UP!

With enough rehearsal you can do it, easily

@@Mxyzptlksac Maybe, but try holding it together, after all the rehearsals, being opposite the likes of a Tim Conway or Red Skelton, lol.

No, she had battled ovarian cancer for a couple years

I'm sorry that's wrong. I distinctly remember her going through treatments and talking about it.

Gene Wilder wrote a book about her battle with cancer. It was a definitely longer battle than 3 days. It brought me to tears.

My understanding is she had a test which showed she was in remission or that the cancer was gone, but the test was wrong. I think a lab mistake, not sure. That lead to the cancer progressing beyond treatment. Very sad.

That's not true

When seeing that I first thought she was a younger Roseanne Barr!

But what was her full stage name? I thought it's a tongue twister? Roseann Rodann A Danna ?

Hello Joanne, how are you doing?

Let's see....Belushi, Ackroid, Chase, Jane, Gilda, Steve Martin, Lorraine, Morsey, Murphy, soooo many great ones!!!!

@@chattycathy8089 Morris, Murray,!

I miss Garret Morris, a truly funny man!

So do I❣️ There will never be another Gilda or the original cast of SNL. They were hilarious❣️ People today don't know how to be funny. Everything has to be about hate, sex, and fowl language. It is disgusting and sad.😭😭😭😭

Never the same after Those characters!!!❤️💯I find myself quoting her a lot “ it’s always something “. Then I give her the credit 👍🤗🤣Miss you Gilda😔

Together in Heaven, making the angels laugh out loud.

Absolutely ☺

Hello Suze, how are you doing?

I just quoted her last week!!! “As Rosanne Rosannadana always says..” 🤣🤣🤣

meiastar Ikr?😂😂

There was her musically happening cousin Carlos Santana Roseannadanna

I think her grandmother was Hanna Rosannadanna, but they called her Nana.

@@irishguy13 I miss this group. Saturday Night Live was great back then.

Her optimistic aunt was Pollyanna Roseannadanna.

Maria yep

Yup i lost sleep Saturday night. I figure it out rest different days lol . wow snl is getting down to it. Woahhhh lets get groovyyyyyyyy

And it didn't have to be political or mean or crude. They could just be silly and have fun.

I'm always telling my 21 year old about Roseanne Roseannadana, and how funny she was, and I showed her a couple of the skits. She didn't think any of them were funny, except the one where she was talking about seeing Walter Cronkite and talking to him and she scoots her chair across the floor and it makes a farting sound, and he thinks she farted and she goes on and on about trying to make the chair fart again, but, it won't. My daughter thought that was mildly amusing and cracked a smile. Either we oldies who grew up on this stuff are stupid and have an immature sense of what's funny, or this younger generation has NO sense of humor for good stuff. What my daughter thinks is funny, I don't, and vice versa about 90% of the time.

You were seeing it as we did for the first time. Comic mastery. The 70's were delightfully crazy to live through anyway. Maybe thats where such an intense character came from

Ya shoulda been there...those were the times!

You missed out when it was really live from NY

And they're back together again.

Laura Huston it took a long time for them to be reunited. Can you imagine being at their house at a party? I bet it was awesome.

@@SweetThing Your comment is wrong. Just because she was diagnosed with cancer, it doesn't mean that they didn't have love, happiness, and good times. He had to let her go long before him. It didn't take away the good times they had. He also found a new love in his life. My uncle was drafted to Vietnam in 1968 and married his 1 true love just before he left. She was devastated with his loss. When he was killed in action March 18,1969. They shipped his body home, and he had a open casket. So she knew that it was him. But she refused to date or even think about dating again until the war was over and the POW's release. She ended up finding a new love and had children with him. While she loved her husband, Billy was still very much the 1st love of her life. Eventually, her husband couldn't handle sharing her with a dead man. They went to counseling and she gave my dad all of his photos, metals and his flag. It didn't work very well. He just couldn't deal with it anymore. Then following her divorced, she found a wonderful man that lost his 1st wife as well. So she asked for Billy's things back. Anyway this was the case with these 2. He lost her but while he was in the hell that ended her life. I know that he never stopped loving her. Because of the good and the bad. He wouldn't have wanted her to have been alone during the painful end of her life. Plus these 2 where some of the most funny people on this earth and that alone will make you laugh. That was what they did Laugh through it. They still had more laughter more through the bad times.

@ Sweet Thang. I agree. These are 'characters', not real life. Many celebrities say that they are SO unlike the characters they portray. It's called acting.

Jerry Robinson I miss them both so much.

LOL, Kathy Sheuer, she almost did a couple of tmes..they were really doing this live and I couldn't keep a sraight face..

Paula Kelly I kind of like Stefan too!

Hello Cynthia, how are you doing?

gilda could've live to be 150 years old and still died too soon very funny lady one of my all time favorites

She's probably up in Heaven, making every one laugh! RIP Gida see you on the other side my dear

I believe Gilda Radner was the most consummate and professional comedianne of her time. I miss her.

@@joemunsey5088 I love how she even put her love for Gene into her desire to work. I love everything I hear about her. Thank you for your participation in this loving discussion about our girl #GildaRadner
