Weekend Update: Roseanne Roseannadanna on Smoking - SNL 

I met her at a traffic light in NYC. She was shopping with her mother. She was like bumping into a friend on the street. Introduced her mother to me and told me what they bought. Then the light changed and she said nice meeting you...wish me luck, you know and nodded her head towards her mom. Best brush with greatness ever......so far!

Gilda Radner was a treasure. I will never tire of watching her, always hilarious, on SNL sketchers. We lost her much too soon.

It doesn't matter how much time goes by, I still crack up when I hear Gilda Radner ! She did leave way too soon ..RIP !

I’ve been thinking of the life of the fabulous Gilda Radner lately as I’ve been diagnosed stage 4 ovarian cancer, too. Miss Radner’s comedic work as Rosanrosannada makes me laugh until tears roll!! She is truly ‘one of a kind’!! Dear Gilda- fly with the angels!!

I almost fell on the floor laughing when she said “you belong in NJ”. As a NJ native born and raised, I have a sense of humor when it comes to Jersey jokes. Brilliant. Jane Curtin is a dream as well.

There’s never been an SNL group like the first one. Gilda Radner was the best. May she rest in peace.

This still sounds Brand New! Gilda Radner 1946-1989 we miss you!

I forgot just how freaking funny these SNL skits were. Talk about funny..!!!

No one was naturally funnier. And no one on that show can hold a candle to her.

Absolute perfection from both actors here; Gilda's completely transforming into her character and Jane's disgust and slow burns; just absolute perfection.😄😄👍👍👍

OMG! So great to see this again. Rosanne has stood the test of time. She still makes me laugh so hard, I'm crying. She has been irreplaceable. She was simply the best.

Oh my gosh! I laughed so hard I almost fell out of my chair! Great stuff! There will never be another Gilda Radner!

I had forgotten how much I enjoyed Roseanne Roseannadanna. Gilda gave us so much laughter.

When I was in High School, I memorized this skit and others to entertain my friends, and, make new ones. It worked. Thanks Gilda, I will always love you.

40 years later and it's still Freakin Hilarious!!! The original "Not Ready for Primetime Players" were the best!!! 😀 😂 🤣

Rest in powerful peace homegirl Gilda Radner🙏 28 June 1946 ~ 20 May 1989⚘

Gilda was priceless. I'm sure she and Gene are together yucking it up right now.

That skit is one of my favorites. RIP Gilda Radner and thanks for the laughs.

You will never get better comedy than from the 70's.

Roseanne Rosannadanna is the reason why I fell in love with SNL when I was a kid. She was funny as hell. RIP Gilda Radner!

The greatest days of SNL. Those early shows were and are pure classics.

Gilda was once in a lifetime she made everyone laugh

Gilda Radner was fantastic. When she married her second husband, Gene Wilder, I would’ve loved to been a fly on the wall to listen to those to collaborate. Two comic geniuses married together, although a brief time I would’ve loved to been a fly on the wall. I bet it was fantastic. Never a dull moment I believe. Rest in peace the great Gilda Radner.

I am 17 years old and personally a big fan of the 86-93 SNL cast. With that being said, I was a little apprehensive about going back to something as far as the 70s for something as subjective as comedy, but after the past couple sketches I have seen I can say my mind has been changed about the original SNL cast. I now see what people mean when they say that the 86-93 cast and the original cast are the two best and nothing can compare because it is absolutely true. They are the two best by far. At the end of the day I suppose it just comes down to which type of humor you connect with more, but I really have enjoyed seeing this. It has opened my eyes a lot.

Best skit she ever did. I found this in a talking greeting card. One of my nieces and I would send it back and forth.

"Mr. Feder, you sound like a real attractive guy. You belong in New Jersey." Funny as hell!!!

She was a treasure to us in those days, one of a kind who guaranteed laughter; miss you Gilda

Jane was so underrated.....every skit she was in was polished and purely professional.

A life cut way too short. Gilda is awesome.

I miss Gilda Radner, wish she was still with us, I about fell off my chair laughing this is so funny

When SNL was funny....REALLY funny.

Great classic comedy from the Late Gilda Ratner. Thank you Gilda 👏👏👏...JP

Gilda Radner was Brilliant.

"It jus' goes t'show ya..." God bless you Gilda, we love and miss you.

Omg!!! The ORIGINAL Saturday Night Live!!! For a minute I was a teenager again!!! 🤣

One of many memorable characters she played on SNL. A truly gifted comedian.

Gilda's Rosanne Rosannadanna is one of my all time favorite characters of SNL. Over the years there have been so many excellent cast members doing such memorable characters. Gilda was so funny.

Oh Gilda. You're still bring the laughs

Absolutely pure comedic genius! God bless Gilda Radner.

Damn, what a character she was… one Saturday night in 1979 I remember laying on the floor laughing so hard it hurt from watching SNL… boy have things changed.

Gilda was brilliant & Gilda with Jane on Weekend Update was just pure gold! I remember when watching SNL was THE thing to do on Saturday Nights in the 70's, & it was always live. I miss Gilda Radnor so much. It was so sad when she died. Rest in Peace Gilda thank you for the laughs. 💕💔💕

Looking at this is priceless! One of the best sketches ever. No one like Gilda💙

Roseanne Roseannadanna was my all time favorite SNL personality. Gilda would rant on with a pure natural manner without looking at cue cards. Holy cow that's incredible. I thought maybe SNL was funny only because I was high a lot back then but nope, the old SNL is still as funny. Very cool. :)

Best show on TV in the 70's !!

Wow .. Look at the line up in this clip Radner.Curtin and a quick glimpse of bill Murray at the end. Top shelf :)

I absolutely love Gilda Radner, definitely one of the best! RIP!

She was absolutely wonderful. So funny! She was one of the main reasons to watch SNL back then. We all talked about her character in high school. God rest her soul! We miss you!

I absolutely love her! She made me laugh out loud harder than any other comedian!

Not only did Gilda make you laugh, she made you smile, which is even more important, imo.

Yaaaay! I've been looking for this online forever. So glad SNL is finally releasing their most classic sketches back on RU-vid.

classic comedy, pure gold

Timeless. That's what great comedy is. I want some banana Roseannadanna cake!

Gilda was fantastic and Jane was the best straight woman!

I went as Rosanne Rosannadanna for Halloween one year.

RIP Gilda we all miss you. Rest in heavenly peace forever. ❤ 🎶🎵🎶 🌙🌙🌙 🌕

The best thing about being a Grandma, I watched the very 1st episode of SNL & I'm still a fan today & I've got the grand-kids liking the show too!

"You BELONG in New Jersey!" LOL

I was just a kid in the 70s but I've never quit loving the old stuff. Gilda Rocked.

"and when she picked the little piece of sweater out of her belly button, it didn't fall off..." LOLOL!

I just had to watch this to hear about that little ball of sweat on the tip of one's nose, My wife and i still to this day, still repeat that joke to each other.when ever the opportunity comes up to employ that routine we still use it. God Bless RIP Gilda. ECF

Gilda was timeless.

I hate to sound old but Gilda Radner set the standard for female comics on SNL. In my view, very few have lived up to it.

Just rewatching and laughing at all the great skits Gilda did. Life cut way way too short at age 42 of ovarian cancer . You are greatly missed and remembered. I'm glad you found happiness in your short marriage with Gene Wilder.

What a great Comedian!

Gilda Radner and gene wilder - now that was a match

I used to watch SNL only for Rosanne Rosannadana. RIP Gilda Radner.

"Mr Feder you sound like a real attractive guy"

Hilarious!!Gilda Radner is still makin me laugh.Thank you Gilda

Gilda the one and only original snl funny girl peace We love you forever

Don't forget Jane's "straight man." Perfect.

The Early Years with the Original Cast were the Funniest Shows Ever. STILL laughing like a Idiot watching these old episodes🤣

I dont think anyone made me laugh as much as her and SNL. They were all hillarious. I loved her. Especially Roseane Roseanna Danna. Absolutely hillarious. She was gone WAY TO SOON. Miss her. I still cant believe she is gone. All the good ones die to soon. RIP GILDA. Love ya .🥰🥰🥰😥😥😥😓💜

She was the best still laugh when I see her acting!!

Classic! I saw this live on TV with my mother and cousin. We laughed hysterically. #goodtimes

SNL's original cast was absolutely the best!! And the writing was great too!!

These clips can never be topped. No way.

When I was in eighth grade my sister erased my name off my math homework and wrote "Richard Fanner ( a real attractive guy)" I never did get that paper back. Lol.

Gilda was the greatest on Weekend Update! Now where is Father Guido Sarducci?!?

Ah the good old days 😏

She was so much fun to watch.

she was one of the funniest people ever on tv

I like to picture Gene and Gilda's reunion in Heaven. I like to think they're together again.

I've watched this clip so many times--it's still priceless!! I love Gilda always and forever!!

Ah the days when Saturday Night Live was actually FUNNY. RIP Gilda Radner. You were a comic genius.

Loved her and miss her. Best of best left way to soon.

This was aired on my mom's birthday and 3 days before I was born. Awesome!!!

Happy Happy Birthday Gilda! You were soooooo funny!!!!! I really love you and miss seeing you! I can't believe you would be 73 years old! I can't believe you have been gone 30 years now. It seems only yesterday you were making us all laugh on SNL. I hope you are happy where you are!

It's impossible not to fall madly in love with her.

That one still makes me laugh loud and long! Truly a unique character by a phenomenally gifted woman.

"Mr Fader, you sound like a real attractive guy. You belong in New Jersey!" LOL RIP Gilda :-)

OK, who is here in August 2019?? I think Gilda is my favorite comedian ever. I cherish her characters and no matter who wrote the words, there is no one in the world who could have delivered them like Gilda! She wrote that book, "It's Always Something" and it is the best 3 words ever written. I"m sure I'm not the only one who has adopted them in their everyday vocabulary!! Thank you Gilda, you live on forever...not THAT is a true entertainer.

She is the best. Crap day at work and I find her hear and just laugh and laugh!!

I miss Ba Ba Wa Wa.....

Great Memories of an Icon Taken from us way too Soon

I don't care how many times I see this. She was awesome and I could watch it everyday for a laugh.

Nothing was funnier than SNL with the original cast

It's always something!

Loved Gilda and Jane part of me died when she pass on this year gene wilder he loved Gilda as well rip never forget

First, Gilda was freakin amazing, such a terrible early loss. Second, the music they play at the end of these clips is absolutely banging!

She's so chill.
