She just talked about doing this interview on CNN the day after Ms. Barbara passed away at the age of 93. Cheri said it was a true honor to not only be able to impersonate Barbara Walters in this way but have her blessing as well. Rest in peace Barbara Walters
This is hysterical. Cheri Oteri is really a brilliant comedian. I don't know why she doesn't get more acting work. I wonder if she wrote this skit. If she did, she's brilliant x 2.
I like Cheri Oteri just fine. But sorry, she doesn’t even make the top five of funniest women to come from SNL. She can’t hold a candle to the legendary Gilda Radner nor the current careers of Kristen Wig and Maya Rudolph.
I'm not a huge Barbara Walters fan, but I do respect her journalism. I enjoyed that she was willing to laugh at herself and invited Cheri Oteri back. You can clearly see Barbara didn't censor Cheri because she played Barbara like she did on SNL. I was disappointed though when she didn't make the 40th anniversary show, because she's always been my favorite SNL actor. Cheri is an underrated comedic actress.
+Randy Kucsan Funny back story, initially when Gilda Radner did Barbara on SNL. Barbara was very offended, especially wen she came in her daughter's room to find her watching it. Upon asking her daughter why she was laughing at it, her daughter said "oh lighten up mummy".
I can certainly understand her being offended. I don't think any of us have the same view of ourselves that the people who view us do. Sometimes it exposes things about ourselves that we never thought were there (it's not always good). Has to be hard when it's in front of millions of people. I'm glad she at least learned to laugh at herself later on in life. I think when you can accept being silly, different, etc ... the embarrassment goes away and you can live life much more free to just be yourself. flaws and all
I'd forgotten all about her Barbara impressions. Watching this reminded me that she was the best to ever do it. I love it when she looks away from who she's interviewing, looks directly in the camera and shamelessly says something crazy.
Cheri Oteri one of the most under rated SNL cast members. She is so funny and her judge Judy is also dead on LOL do you know how hard it is to impersonate someone in front of them?
This is the funniest shit, love her expressions...Cheri Oteri is such a funny lady and funny how her voice would get high at times like she was going to yell lol
Brilliant! Barbara, thank you for your legacy, you are a funny, smart, intelligent, kind, and compassionate person. Your life on this earth this impacted a lot of people's lives especially women in journalism. May God be with you and watch over you and your loved one. I am sure you are with the Lord.
Couldn't get enough of Cheri Oteri as Barbara Walters - especially when she got mad. I love the one skit where Walters lost it when Sarah Michelle Gellar acted like a bimbo & said the wrong thing to Glenn Close,a guest on the show. Walters furiously ordered Gellar to stand in the corner. ''Stand over there!!! Stand over there!!! Quickly!!! Stand over there!!!"" Or another time when Walters menaced Cameron Diaz when she made the mistake of pissing Walters off. "I will DESTROY you!"
For the sketch on SNL there used to be a theme song for the The View opening where Cheri would sing: Here comes The View Fee-lee-lee-dooooo It was hilarious and i can't not find it anywhere. Loved her characters and SNL. Cheri and Molly were the best!!

Her inflections and cadence are spot on.
It's really good.
She did her homework

It's a brilliant piece of writing for sure.
Is she? This isn't funny at all
@@jeibal02 in your opinion
@@jeibal02 or you just have a shit sense of humor
she wrote the skit....THATS HOW SNL WORKS...U WRITE FOR UR OWN SKITS.
And THIS IS 2020!!!😂
RIP Barbara Walters you were a class act! You inspired many to follow careers in communications and paved the way for generations to come!
Cheri Oteri: the funniest woman SNL ever had.
Dan Williams she was pretty great, although I think Kristen Wiig is number one. I would put Cheri a close number two behind Kristen.
Leslie Jones < Cheri Oteri < Jane Curtin < Molly Shannon < Tina Fey & Amy Poehler < Laraine Newman < Kate McKinnon < Kristen Wiig🥉 < Maya Rudolph🥈 < *Gilda Radner* 🥇
I like Cheri Oteri just fine. But sorry, she doesn’t even make the top five of funniest women to come from SNL. She can’t hold a candle to the legendary Gilda Radner nor the current careers of Kristen Wig and Maya Rudolph.
Jan Hooks gets my vote for the best cast member.
Mark Santoro Jan Hooks is one of the top, absolutely.
Amy Poehler isn’t funny. She just thinks she’s funny.
Most underrated comedian ever. Her impersonations are scary accurate...and hilarious! I also loved her "Nadeen" and "Collette Reardon" characters :D
And who could forget, the Spartan Cheerleader!!
Okay now Simmah Down Nah! Just simmah mkay.
Her physical comedy was always on point too, she always gave it 100%.
Physical - I'd give the 1st place to Molly Shannon :)
@@timjthru The Burger Castle episode with Toby McGuire was funny as hell. How can I help ya' today? 🤣🤣
Anderson Cooper's laugh brought me here 🙂.
@@hxjxangelx just follow his giggle!
Traveling Chronicles Same 😂😂
He eats farts🤣😭
@@musicunderground6324 you mean ass
@@irock2403 Update laaate BREAAAKING news ALARRT You now Eats Farts
Cheri has Barbara down to a tee! At times her voice sounds nearly identical to the venerable news lady's.
Yes she does!!!
Cheri Oteri is such an underrated comedian. I love her and her work..
Cheri oteri nailed her voice.
Rest in peace BW. I'm just seeing this clip right now 2023. Thanks Barbara and enjoy interviewing all you can find in heaven.

I always found Gilda's impression more of a mockery (and not a very good one imo). Cheri NAILS her!
Randy your feet stink !
Randy Kucsan Eff all that. Is that really you in the photo thumbnail? You’re a bit of alright, sexy pants 😉👌

When she said "I'd like to get a Costo card", I died laughing!

God, Cheri is so hilarious. I don’t know how she didn’t trip up or mess up the words once during this whole skit. Truly iconic.
"Page 169, not a coincidence!" 💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😆😆😆😆😆😆 Just Wow!!!
How Walters kept a straight face is beyond me lol
Love Cheri. So sad she had to spend the NYE special sad and remembering Barbara instead of doing her planned bit. RIP Barbara
She is definitely my favorite SNL cast member of all time
The cadence is on point
169, not a coincidence
Cheri O Terri should be in more things! She’s hilarious and kinda underrated and under appreciated.
I miss Cheri Oteri! SNL needs to bring her back to host!! It’s time!
This is the funniest shit, love her expressions...Cheri Oteri is such a funny lady and funny how her voice would get high at times like she was going to yell lol
Cheri Otero - where the heck has she been? She was a favorite on SNL and she sort of has disappeared!
It's Oteri. She's plural.
Say what you will about Barbara Walters. At least she knew how to laugh at herself and didn’t take herself too seriously. ❤
Barbara is all class and shows a great sense of humor. Cheri is amazing. I loved her with Anderson Cooper on New Year's Eve.
I love this ♥️ I can watch it over and over..
Love for #BarbaraWalters and #CheriOteri 🙏🏻
So funny! I love when she says, 20/20!
Bless Babs for having a sense of humor.
Brilliant! Barbara, thank you for your legacy, you are a funny, smart, intelligent, kind, and compassionate person.

Lmfao I love Cheri so much. She’s SO underrated
RIP !!! Cheri did an excellent Barbara!!
Didn’t know about it until it was run by CNN 1/1/2023 !! 🙏RIP
"169, not a coincidence" sweet jesus, how did that make it past the censors and barbara herself? i got a hernia from laughing so hard.
Cheri Oteri and Kate McKinnon are the best SNL ever had!
Gilda Radner is up there with the best of them.
Kristen Wiig and Julia Louise Dreyfus. As well as Jane Curtain.
Dee I like Kate but sometimes I feel like she’s copying Cheri
No one comes close to Cheri Oteri!
“Executive Producer!” At 1:46 was masterful 😂
Best Barbara Walters impersonator.
RIP Barbara Walters ❤️
Brilliant!

"Whyyyyy you..!" That is one of my favorite skits of all time!
This was brilliant!
This is so funny and amazing tribute to such an amazing women.
Cheri Oteri is amazing!

Esta Cheri me encantaaaaa, extraordinariamente talentosisima, la amo !!!!
R.I.P, Barbara Walters.
Miss you Barbara.
I never seen this before!Funny!
Are they actually in the same room here? I'm unsure.
Never tire of Cheri!
I love how the (amazing) Oteri here levels the character to match better the original.
She is amazing....and I find it funny she keeps bringing up Shecky Greene and Cha-Cha,lol
Adore Babs and Cheri. ❤️
Barbara was an icon. Miss her.
Barbara is a legend. RIP
Sherry O Terry has always been underrated.
Absolutely brilliant 🤩🤣
She really did create a great show.
Barbara Walters is such a good sport 🥰
“169 not a coincidence” 🤣
Oteri is magical
Oh god this is golden 🤣🤣🤣
RIP Barbara Walters...and thank you
What a good sport
Gilda Radner who was an original SNL cast member in the 1970s did a funny exaggerated version called Baba Wawa. Check it out on youtube.
I love Cheri Otero. A talented comedian sadly forgotten in these days.
Cheri Oteri is hilarious! She overacts but it comes out very funny.
im thinking these parts were shot separately and they werent even in the same room together
I was searching for her most intense moments and found this instead 😂🤠
Cheri Oteri is amazing and so funny
For the sketch on SNL there used to be a theme song for the The View opening where Cheri would sing:
Here comes The View
Fee-lee-lee-dooooo
It was hilarious and i can't not find it anywhere. Loved her characters and SNL. Cheri and Molly were the best!!
I love Cheri Oteri! 😍
I clapped throughout this.
This was the end of "The View" as we knew it.....
Barbara Walters speech impediment is on point. How this woman found success in journalism is still a mystery. Cheri O’Teri is brilliant.
Cheri Oteri is awesome!
awesome . Barbara changed the game. glad she can also laugh at herself. something we all should do
Can’t believe she passed away. RIP
This has to be one of the best pieces of television I’ve ever seen.
I love cheri
This is hilarious. Really funny.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love Cheri Oteri!!!❤️
Cheri Oteri was great as BW, but Gilda Radner's Babwa Wawa will be forever indelible.
❤
