Today’s comedians and actors could take lessons from Miss Radner. Iconic, legendary and pure talent. Those of us who had the honor of watching her miss her so. Bravo and kudos.
“I love to have a headache! I’m happy with a cold! I’m looking for a problem! Why wait until I’m old?” That line always stuck with me since I heard my parents’ 8-track tape of Gilda’s “Live from New York” back in 1980. 😂
what a DELIGHT! 42 yrs later & i am still laughing out loud! i have sung this song so many times in my life & i am always surprized how many ppl do not know it they think i made it up, no i am no Gilda so much laughter she gave us...oh the good old dayz!
I wish younger generations had the opportunity to see Gilda. They missed out on a legend. I was a teen during the 75-80 SNL castnand used to imagine she was my big sister. I will always love her. See you on the other side.❤
I had her live comedy album with this on it. Here are the full (hilarious) lyrics (some of which she doesn't seem to sing in this video. love to be unhappy, I live to be in pain. When days are full of sunshine, I'm looking for the rain. I love to have a headache, I'm happy with a cold. I'm looking for a problem -- Why wait until I'm old? They say that no one's happy With anything they've got. And just when things seem wonderful You think of how it's not. And so when fortune's smiling On the ladder to success, If you set your mind to thinking, You can really make your life a mess. I always send my steak back, My life is overdone. I have to be quite careful That I don't have any fun. [spoken "Here's the part where I dance"] And even when I'm tapping, Happy hoofing to the beat, I know I'll get thick ankles And ugly muscles in my feet.
I wish i could find the skit she did with Jane Creeleys Vegetable Soup on youtube..has anyone seen it...Gilda was the Best one on the show...so. many. Of. Them were just as talented...💝
0:08 It's amazing how she manages to not limp to the center of the stage, considering that she's only wearing one Mary Jane heel at that point! (BTW, those Mary Janes look very nice on her)
Off point, but just saw Martha Stewart (represents white gov) passing the green gov cheese, (weed dip aka weed dip) to Snoop Dog, so he can dip his Toastito chip. 😆
Gilda Radner, John Lennon, Carl Sagan, all dead--George W. Bush, Justin Bieber, Paris Hilton, still around. There is a god, but he's been hitting the heaven juice for a few thousand years, and he's a mean drunk.
Such a great comedian, but man for the life of me I don't get the joke of her tapping to the end of the stage and "tagging" herself in or clapping and running back the other end of the stage. Gonna need that one explained to me. Got a good laugh though

Such talent and beauty
I had her live comedy album with this on it. Here are the full (hilarious) lyrics (some of which she doesn't seem to sing in this video.
love to be unhappy,
I live to be in pain.
When days are full of sunshine,
I'm looking for the rain.
I love to have a headache,
I'm happy with a cold.
I'm looking for a problem --
Why wait until I'm old?
They say that no one's happy
With anything they've got.
And just when things seem wonderful
You think of how it's not.
And so when fortune's smiling
On the ladder to success,
If you set your mind to thinking,
You can really make your life a mess.
I always send my steak back,
My life is overdone.
I have to be quite careful
That I don't have any fun.
[spoken "Here's the part where I dance"]
And even when I'm tapping,
Happy hoofing to the beat,
I know I'll get thick ankles
And ugly muscles in my feet.
she has her husband now, and Richard Pryor are all acting up.
I loved this beautiful woman!
I miss her
Fabulous Dancer

She was as good a comedienne as Lucy. Sure wish she were still around make us laugh.
Precious
Great!
How has she been gone over 30 years? Where does the time go?
2:52 At first, when she went to take a drink of water, I thought she was going to throw up! LOL
Always liked Gilda , who knew she had dance chops and nice legs. Sadly missed.
Id never seen this…. It makes us all wonder… what footprint will we leave on the earth
I like her tap dancing shoes!
My theme song.
RIP Gilda
😍
Does anyone of this sheet music?
She'd be in her early 70s...
@Andrew Brunnette Here. I was talking about these days.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
She might be 78 year old this year had she not died of ovarian cancer when she was 42. Is there anyone who saw her that wasn't totally charmed?
Being funny without being filthy…imagine that.
888th like!
What year is this from? 1979? 1980?

we lost a star
Why does God have to take all the good ones and leave the bad ones here?
Heaven doesn't want them and Hell is afraid they'll take over.
Was this actually her SNL audition; if so, where did you find this?
it was her one woman show, there is a bunch of other wonderful clips,"talk dirty to the animals"

There’s no sound?
There is sound. I just verified it.
Saturday Night Live been shit for the last 25 years I wouldn't watch it on a bet
