My favorite female cast member during one of the golden ages of SNL. RIP

 

[Raider Nation]

:(

I enjoyed many of her skits.

 

[belljr]

Wow. ..rip

 

[Abraham]

Agreed.

 

[Chemical X]

the diner skit with Alec Baldwin is classic.

I am a barfly.

I feel like I remember a skit where they broke into the middle of the skit to congratulate her on playing the most floozies and prostitutes of all time.

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

Way too young

:( Hooks is my second favorite SNL alumni (w/ Phil Hartman being my favorite). They both left this world too soon... Thanks for the laughs, Jan. I hope you are laughing it up w/ Phil right now. RIP

 

[Aerial Assault]

:( What a loss! Her skit with Norah Dunn - as the Sweeney Sisters, was it - doing the Christmas medley on the episode that Shatner hosted was absolutely epic. She was completely hilarious. RIP. Far too young.

[James Bond]

"I am a barfly..." Classic. RIP

 

[St. Louis Bob]

She always made me laugh. :(

Back when cable was in its infancy, I first saw her on a TBS skit show called Tush. She was hilarious on it, and I was happy when she made it big on SNL. Also had a good run as Jenna's mom on 30 Rock. RIP

Very underrated

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

She was one of the rare talents who had the charisma to lead a sketch, but could also play a great supporting role without overshadowing the other actors.

The Sweeney Sisters, the Sinatra Group, those are all-time sketches. Underrated were the couple of skits she did as the elderly, chain-smoking, ranting Bette Davis.

"...Apparently , uh, she had suffered, uh, reportedly, uh, from a, uhm, a deadly disease. Obviously, but we don't have confirmation of what that was...

 

[Jayrok]

RIP. She and Hartman were great together. Loved her Sinead O'Connor.

"Sinbad O'Connor!"

Aren't we gonna see the basement?

 

[Brony]

I don't know about the ding, but how 'bout a wing?
