What a beautiful SOUL.....she was so kind to me when my young brother passed in '78. I wrote to her to thank her for all the laughs she gave us both and how much my bro loved her...sent me a postcard of her in a tutu and a wand with a goose at her feet (Mother Goose) i lost that postcard and i wanted to frame it.....maybe my bro received in in heaven!
Gilda Radner and Madeline Kahn, two extremely talented comedians and actors who we lost far too soon. Incredible women who I could always count on for a hardy laugh.
Does anyone else remember a skit where Gilda plays Wm. Shatner's daughter and keeps calling him into her bedroom to check for a monster in her closet? Think it was Shatner and would love to see that again❣️🌿
Too bad all they mostly showed in this vid is how OTHERS tried to explain 'how' and 'why' Gilda was funny, instead of just showing Gilda being funny. Eh, for the most part.
I loved Gilda Radner, she was an amazing woman. Gene Wilder was perfect for her and when she died he never got over it. I met his cousin Glenn R. Wilder who was a stuntman, and he told me that Gene would sit in her chair with the lights out night after night. 💔🌹
I'm a huge Gilda fan & to this day (at 67) still find myself using her quotes like never mind or..."Its always something, if it ain't 1 thing, its another, but its ALWAYS something" ~ Rosanne Rosanna Dana
There are days I too am approaching. In fact, I am days away from 67. I can’t have a clear thought in my head but let me see the fact that Gloria Vander jeans are back and all I have is the Rosanne Rosanna Danna poem about gloria, Vanderbilt jeans in my head. Don’t ask me the address of my best friends house I can’t remember it. But I can brightly go to Lisa Leubner with Todd when Danny came in playing the Norge man. in pants that were too tight and a shirt that was too short. The Saturday night she passed away the cast could hardly get through the show and no one could blame them. A magnificent light had gone out. Steve Martin was the host and they showed a clip. It wasn’t a clip it was four or five minutes and she dancing together and it was pretty unbelievable. I have no doubt that they could hardly wait for the show to end and doing it must’ve been pure hell. I have the VHS tape of it that’s how old it is of Gilda Live. I cried when she died I cried that night watching the show. I cried when John Candy died. The one thing I can say about John Candy and Chris Farley passing even though they were completely completely different reasons. It gave my cousin the wake up, he needed to knock off some of, his extra pounds. I won’t embarrass him by telling you his name he is a great man a great funny, funny man and he carries the same weight issue that our entire family does. But he got a dose of common sense and for that I am grateful and it’s weird because all I’d have to say was one word, and you know exactly who I was talking about, Barbara Walters’s parents named her that just the same way as my parents named me Barbara Walsh. I had started college when Saturday Night Live came on and Baba Wawa was also my nickname for a long time.
Thank you. Over the decades, I've had to draw on my experience of being a certain age in order to do things that would be impossible for the age I am now.
I have her book. And cherish seeing her in all her performances. It was her father who said "It's Always Something". Thank you, Gilda... forever!! 💖🌹💖🌹💖
I also think of my mom when I watch Gilda. My mom loved her and I have very precious memories of some hysterical moments with my mom watching Gilda on SNL. Our mom died on June 16th 1988, so Gilda's death a few months later left a poignant sadness without mom around to share that with.
I loved Gilda!! No one can ever come close to her talent for making people laugh and feel joyful. She was a beautiful and sweet original, sharing her joy with everyone. Thank you, Gilda ❤️
I was in my 20's when Saturday Night Live first began, and of course, I loved every skit especially John Belushi and Gilda Radner's skits. I wish this tribute had shown more of her rather than comments from celebrities. Another all time favorite and stand out comedian was Madeline Khan. To this day, whenever I see Gilda or Madeline, they just make me want to laugh even before they say anything because I know I will love whatever they do.
Thank you. I'm less than 5 minutes into this, and you saved me 25 minutes. It's unfortunate that we can't be given just Gilda. After all, she's who we want to see.
Whata joy to find Gilda in here 😂 and all some our best comediennes!!! RIP Gilda & all your friends with you ❤ You guys were all hilarious I miss you!! 😢
All my life I've seen Lucille Ball glorified like she was the ONLY funny person who ever lived. I don't understand that. She had one character - Lucy Ricardo and kept the same character and the same skits the rest of her life. Gilda had many characters, great range, so much talent!!! She squeezed so much entertainment into too short a period of time!! I still miss her!!! Did she know how great she was???
One of my favorites, I heard on the radio while driving the 150 miles from my home town to my home when married. ( from the house of someone who didn't.t get her to one who couldn't get through her routines without crying from laughing) It was Roseanne Rosannadanna meeting Walter Cronkite. I had to pull over and will never forget it. My life long friend and I sign off on emails with "It is always something" or" Never mind" to "My little Roseanne Roseannedanna"
A tribute is about a person that show cases others who worked with her and clips of her best performances. I personally like these tributes, and it makes me sad, too. She was a special person. My mother lost a close friend to Ovarian Cancer, too.
Yes to above. Her Rosanne Rosannadanna was hysterical. I would be on the floor laughing. It was so tragic that she died so young. I think she thought she was pregnant but actually had cancer.😅
Gilda was my favorite SNL cast member. Everything she did was so funny. I am grateful for the joy she gave me with her performances and I never get tired of watching her. I am sad she is gone but happy that I had the privilege to have her become part of my life.
One of the funniest women of all time. She gave us gut laughs. How many people spit their coffee or drinks across the room when she came out of nowhere with her outrageous comedic stuff? Legend. Other comedians from Gene wilder, to Jane Curtain, to anybody talented could be still more funny playing off her.
When Saturday Night Live first started, that was the best cast. I babysat for the neighbors 2 doors down and watched Saturday Night Live. What a cast. Gilda was so talented. RIP Gilda.
Loved going back in time and watching Gilda's performances! Thank you. I could have enjoyed it more had there been less talking/ intro before each of her comic portrayals
I used to sneak out of bed to watch SNL as a kid then I would rush home to watch it while working at McD’s! I always got caught because I laughed so hard! I cried when she left us! 😔
I was hoping to see Gilda, but of course it was all about other people. Most especially Barbara Walters who slept her way to the top. If you don't believe that read her autobiography.
I'll NEVER forget the SNL that announced Her death, it was Steve Martin, and the first time i ever cried(hours) over the loss of a celebrity. Monday mornings during my high school years were imitations of Gilda's latest sketches. I loved her dearly😍!💝💯♾️
I watched it all the way through. But you were right, although it was worth the suffer because I loved experiencing her performances in everything once again❣️
You KNEW it was coming. You could see it coming from a mile away. When it was delivered, it was no surprise. You expected it. You anticipated it. And it was hilarious EVERY TIME. "Never mind."
I will never forget her on Saturday night live,I remember her so well as a child up until the year she passed away so drastically after her career so short after SNl,I will never forget her.Her husband Jean Wilder was also one of my favorites as well
Carmen Miranda, Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe, Lily Tomlin and Gilda Radner were my favorite female comedians ever. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I Thank God that I was born in the era when these ladies were on TV and the big Silver Screen. I cannot imagine a world without knowing who these ladies were ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I LOVED Gilda Radner (my generation.) She was a huge part of SNL. Love hearing her parents adored and encouraged her. She deserved to be adored. It's so sad she had to leave us so soon. ❤
I adore Gilda and I loved Molly's performances on SNL, but somehow this show didn't fit her. Perhaps she was too much of a fan of Gilda's, perhaps she wanted to be "authentic" (boy do I hate this ubiquitous and absurd idea), maybe it was something else. Don't know. All I know is that the show looked chaotic, unprofessional and contained too much obscure and unimportant information and too little of *Gilda's greatest moments* which was the title of the show ffs. Should've called it a biography instead, people wouldn't be so disappointed.
More Gilda being funny, as we all know she was, and less commentary on how Gilda was funny. Respect her legacy, not the opinions of those who knew her. Thank you.
I loved Gilda! One of the funniest female comics of all time!
One of the funniest comics of all time. No need to qualify it.
Roseanne Rosannadanna was the best. 😂
In grade school I sat behind a girl named Rosie Coderio. That was Rosanne Rosannadanna to a T. Same hair and everything.
...i believe Melissa McCarthy has the same "anything for a laugh" sense of humor! She goes that extra mile. Big kudos😍!💝💯♾️
What a beautiful SOUL.....she was so kind to me when my young brother passed in '78. I wrote to her to thank her for all the laughs she gave us both and how much my bro loved her...sent me a postcard of her in a tutu and a wand with a goose at her feet (Mother Goose) i lost that postcard and i wanted to frame it.....maybe my bro received in in heaven!
@SuperWoodyBoy,
I'd say that's a good possibility.
💕 Postcards to Heaven.
I miss Gilda ❤she was the best! To this day no one comes close
I still say "never mind" & "It's always something". ❤ The young-uns stare at me blankly. They don't know what they're missing.
Gilda Radner and Madeline Kahn, two extremely talented comedians and actors who we lost far too soon. Incredible women who I could always count on for a hardy laugh.
@balesjo For a *hearty* laugh, too, I'll bet! 🥰🤣😂
Loved Gilda & the whole crew at that time❤️ They were the best & at 83 I still say “never mind”😂🤣😅
Me too!
Does anyone else remember a skit where Gilda plays Wm. Shatner's daughter and keeps calling him into her bedroom to check for a monster in her closet? Think it was Shatner and would love to see that again❣️🌿
I’m 62 and I love SNL back in the 70s. The best.
They don't have comedy like that anymore miss her. She left too soon

Gilda is a classic! Love her.
Pure Geniusness: That will always be Gilda's Modus operandi. May You Live Forever, Gilda: You Are Beloved 😘🎶🌈💚🏳🌈🦄⚧🏳⚧💖💙💜⚡🧠♾
"Genius is the ability to gain childhood at will."
Thank you. Over the decades, I've had to draw on my experience of being a certain age in order to do things that would be impossible for the age I am now.
@@frankG335 Yup...just get rid of the mental crap..!!!❤️
My favorite Gilda quote: "I base most of my fashion taste on what doesn't itch."
Lol
Gilda was no doubt the funniest person on earth.
Gilda was a gift from God. I still have so many fun memories from her SNL days.
The Universe gave us a gift. Gone way too soon. Yet through her captures videos she remains for us and futuer generations.
If more people followed Gilda's philosophy of life, I firmly believe that the world would be a better place for all.
and to think that this generation will never experience her comic talent!
or all of the talent of the show then
It's up to us to pass it on!! My kids (40 & 37) know what I'm saying when I say "Never mind", and they laugh with me!
I have her book. And cherish seeing her in all her performances.
It was her father who said "It's Always Something". Thank you, Gilda... forever!! 💖🌹💖🌹💖
She was a super lady and a genuinely unique talent. I still play her Live from New York album regularly.
The skit where Steve Martin and Gilda played deer crossing the road was hysterical
Gilda and Madeline played so well off each other
When I realized that Baba Wawa's guest was going to be Madeleine Kahn I just howled! Who else?
"I even had my weaw wifted."
Madeline Kahn was a legend in her own right! Young Frankenstein??? She was awesome!
@lisacefaratti126 so many classic lines.
Taffeta darling.
Woof
7 or 8 quick ones and you're off to brag to the boys.
They were perfect for each other ☺️
The world is so diminished without Johnny Carson and Gilda Radner.
Gave us a legacy of laughter!
Thank you.
We know she was great, just show the greatest moments. Skip the comments.
Agreed. There are far too many other people on this special and less Gilda.
This is a wonderful tribute to a wonderful, beautiful and loving person. Long Live Gilda Radner
Gilda is so missed. I loved her, she could make you laugh and laugh hard, she was and still remains the best!
Very nice to see this again. I saw it on TV and cried at the end, history repeated itself for me😪. I miss her dearly. She's the best!
My Mother loved Gilda Radner's comedy sketches. Gilda died May 20th 1989. My Mom died not long after on June 16th 1989.
I also think of my mom when I watch Gilda. My mom loved her and I have very precious memories of some hysterical moments with my mom watching Gilda on SNL. Our mom died on June 16th 1988, so Gilda's death a few months later left a poignant sadness without mom around to share that with.
She will always be my favorite!!! Gilda such a lovely person gone to soon Will never forget You
I loved Gilda!! No one can ever come close to her talent for making people laugh and feel joyful. She was a beautiful and sweet original, sharing her joy with everyone. Thank you, Gilda ❤️

I’m sorry, but it seems to me that all of these stars spent way too much talking instead of truly showcasing Ms. Radner.
Thank you.

Disappointing, more of Gilda and less guest speaking

Much better than Lucy.
It's not one or the other. Lucille Ball inspired Gilda Radner.
If you ever see Lucy B on Carson you'll see that she's 99.99% unlike her character, almost a completely deadpan & humorous less interview.
@sarahjeannepeterson5536 Lucille Ball was an incredibly talented actress and did sooooo much more than just Lucy Ricardo.
she was a grouch. Didn’t seem like a nice person at all. This is Lucille Ball I’m talking about.
Loved Gilda Radner. She was truly funny. The story from Barbara Walters was a jem. Enjoyed seeing her again. Thank you.

She was a Queen, she was. Fantastic.
Wish we could see more of Gilda….
In this video, I was hoping for more Gilda.
My idol growing up. Thank you for posting to continue her contribution to beauty in the world. Miss you so much, Gilda!❤
Back2Basic She was hilarious and I rewatch her every Chance I get! Breast cancer took her away from US in 1986!!😊
@@mikecarrico1859 yes. In 86
I cried like I lost a sister. She meant a lot to me.

Yes to above. Her Rosanne Rosannadanna was hysterical. I would be on the floor laughing.
It was so tragic that she died so young. I think she thought she was pregnant but actually had cancer.😅
She had an ectopic pregnancy and found out about the ovarian cancer shortly after.
I was hoping there would be more Gilda.
I loved and miss Gilda😢 Thank you for this wonderful tribute🎉❤
Gilda was my favorite SNL cast member. Everything she did was so funny. I am grateful for the joy she gave me with her performances and I never get tired of watching her. I am sad she is gone but happy that I had the privilege to have her become part of my life.
Absolutely loved her ❤️
How lucky we all are to have had her here even though she left the party early. I'll love her forever. Xoxxo❤
I miss Gilda. I loved The Judy Miller Show, and her singing the ode to saccharine. RIP Gilda and Gene. 💔💔💔
The Barbara Walters skit was the best. I remember the broadcast and I thought to myself she is not going to perform Barbara's lisp.
One of the funniest women of all time. She gave us gut laughs. How many people spit their coffee or drinks across the room when she came out of nowhere with her outrageous comedic stuff? Legend.

She was married to Gene Wilder.
Its always something 2024. 😊
Facts!
never mind
Roseanne Rosanadana was my favorite.
🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
She made my childhood!
When Saturday Night Live first started, that was the best cast. I babysat for the neighbors 2 doors down and watched Saturday Night Live. What a cast. Gilda was so talented. RIP Gilda.
Always loved Gilda. My heart was so broken.
Me too.
i dont know why anyone thinks we watch the ads.
Who wanted to hear these people? I thought we’d watch Gilda’s performances.
She seemed like a genuine, good person & so talented & entertaining!
My favorite Gilda song is "Let's Talk Dirty To The Animals"! It's hilarious! Look it up!
Loved going back in time and watching Gilda's performances! Thank you. I could have enjoyed it more had there been less talking/ intro before each of her comic portrayals
Not enough Gilda in this video. Way too much of the host.
RIP, Gilda. 👍
Gilda was a comedy goddess.
Absolutely ❤

Yes!!! 30:11
I was hoping to see Gilda, but of course it was all about other people. Most especially Barbara Walters who slept her way to the top. If you don't believe that read her autobiography.
I still occasionally channel my inner Gilda and do a little Rosanadana when I feel especially silly!! Love and miss her so much 🦋💕
My favorite skit was her telling us about her interview with Walter Cronkite. I have never laughed so hard.
Gilda was the best!
Still miss her.

Well, I quit after about three minutes because I could see how this was going to be one of those shows that are 80% commentary and 20% relevant clips.
I watched it all the way through. But you were right, although it was worth the suffer because I loved experiencing her performances in everything once again❣️
Oh, so you are a psychic....no, you assume too much.
Rosana Rosanna daana !!!!!! Classic buts a 😃 in my face
You KNEW it was coming. You could see it coming from a mile away. When it was delivered, it was no surprise. You expected it. You anticipated it. And it was hilarious EVERY TIME. "Never mind."
Thanks for the laughs
Gilda was so pretty!
The emily letilla one with public elections kills me , "Nevermind".
