I’m currently binging the entire 50 seasons. On Season 2 right now. Emily Litella, Baba Wawa, Samurai character, 2 Wild and Crazy Guys, etc. I miss the old ones so much.

Both were such incredible talents. Both were taken too soon by ovarian cancer, as was my mom.

She died just a couple of days after she was diagnosed with cervical cancer? Something like that. Very sad.

SNL does some of the best caricatures. Most of the time, it is an honor.

It probably depends more on how the media spins it these days.

southlondongay.bsky.social•17 hours ago

The standard of the casts & guests acting was much better then. Now they’re always obviously looking at an autocue or cue cards & breaking character to laugh at themselves. I know nostalgia is pointless, but Gilda, Jane Curtin, Dan Ackroyd etc were more disciplined & funnier for it.

csapidus.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I wonder if the 60s and 70s were better times for mocking social conventions. Now with few social conventions we are left with Borat style goof gags.

chloepoliticat.bsky.social•14 hours ago

quodnomenmihiest.bsky.social•9 hours ago

It's so sad that both of these incredibly talented women died of ovarian cancer 10 yrs apart.

Gene Wilder and Madeline Kahn were very close friends. Gilda Radner was married to Gene Wilder from 1984 until her death in 1989.
