I knew Gilda. She was genuine and a true lady in every sense of the word. She and Gene were made for each other. Two beautiful people, inside and out. Lord, I miss them. Until we meet again, enjoy home!
She still is my favorite from ‘Saturday Night Live’ past and present shows!! Several years ago, I bought several gift cards that had her voice doing her ‘Roseanne Roseannadanna’ character. I kept one for myself, just to listen to her doing her famous routine (I listened so often, that it stopped working). Yes, if they had made a Roseanne Roseannadanna talking doll..... I would have bought one.
I was a teenager when she was on Saturday Night Live. No matter what we were doing on Saturday night, it stopped and we had to watch Saturday Night Live. Gilda had many characters, but Roseanne Roseannadanna was everyone's favorite. RIP, Gilda.
It had no choice! You had the TITANS OF COMEDY not just movies and television, with the exception of Richard Pryor. Everyone else white black female whatever, was on SNL in the 80s! You had HALF OF THE GHOSTBUSTERS FOR GOD SAKES! It would’ve been 3/4 of them but Eddie turned down the Winston Zeddmore role. How could you possibly have FAILED with all that talent? Impossible.
I think Gilda was the very funniest of the original cast - she made the others seem funnier, not that they weren't !! Such a huge talent taken away from us way too soon, her death nearly killed Gene Wilder who never got over her death.
It's a rare talent. Chris Farley was another with that talent. The others were funnier because they could rarely keep a straight face in his presence. They are both gone way too soon!
@@gracieg7601 Yes, she managed to find the humor in life even while dying of ovarian cancer and knowing her time with her true love Gene Wilder was limited and full of restrictions.
When Rosie O'Donnell was starting out in standup, she at first went by Roseanne O'Donnell, but had to change when audiences were disappointed because she was not Gilda's character. True story.
And RIP Johnny Carson too. I love the look on his face when she's talking. I'm not sure any of our current hosts could respond to the shyness in a talent like hers with such genuine warmth.
Years ago I drove for a crb company in NYC and we had an account with Saturday Night Live. I picked up Gilda several times and she was one of the sweetest ladies I'd ever met!!
THANK YOU for uploading this. This was Gilda's only "Tonight Show" appearance. So wonderful. Gene did the show in 1970 - his only appearance - with David Steinberg as guest host. Sadly, most shows from that period are lost. So nice to see Johnny being such a fan of hers.
@@JackiePhillipsTheSocialPet When I was writing my Gene Wilder biography - "Gene Wilder: Funny and Sad" - I spoke to Johnny's nephew, Jeff Sotzing (great guy!), and asked if Gene was ever a guest. He could not recall but IMDb listed Gene as being on the show in 1970 with David Steinberg guest hosting. Jeff said a lot of shows from that time just were not saved and are lost forever - a real shame. I spoke to David (another nice guy) and he confirmed Gene was on with him.
@@TheRakuman I'd argue that the Farley stuff was quite brilliant. The oddity of it, from my perspective, was that the show utterly cratered without Phil Hartman in 1994-95, even with talent like Farley still present. Otherwise, I'd agree: it's been, say, some 26 years since SNL was any good. Hard to believe I was still a pre-teen the last time I found the show to be well-made.
I remember how hard it was on Gene. Years later I was glad and a little bit surprised to hear Gene say how happy he was in his current marriage. He said he absolutely loved Gilda, but that life style was very stressful.
What a beautiful light she was. Gone to soon. No one every again like Carson either. Two comedic geniuses together. This was wonderful to watch again. ♥️
amazing how much culture changes over time.. we are no longer the funny and spontaneous types like these two talented people.. these videos are a treasure as we witness the country and culture that once existed with entertainment on television is no longer!!
Shortened attention spans are the main issue. Gotta have constant mugging for the camera, fake applause every few seconds, over-the-top attention-whoring & of course the commercials every few minutes to make advertisers happy. The dumbing down of a nation in real time :(
Yes the originals were the best and even ‘for 10-15 years more but since after it was awful! The humor became lame. Seems they actually forgot how to make people laugh. And yes people today seem afraid to be real or afraid of expression. What comes out is contrived.
I loved her. Not many celebrities that have passed have I cried about when finding out they have died. When Gilda died. I balled like I lost my own mother. She was a gem in this world.
Always loved Gilda, she died too young, 42. Liked her saying, "If it aint one damn thing it's another." Great that she got to spend the last years of her life with the love of her life Gene. Also have a picture of me with Johnny, circa 70's when he toured our plant, when he bought his Learjet. So exciting.
I apologize for correcting you, but the saying you reference is actually, "It's always something". I believe this was passed on to Gilda by one of her parents, and was the name of another book she wrote, which I gladly possess.
This is the first time that I have ever seen Gilda Radner as anything other than a character. It is obvious that she was a very sweet and honest person. I wish I could known you but I was just a kid. Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did.
It reminds me how good Saturday Night Live was - long ago. And it reminds he how good late night talks shows were - long ago. You know, before they became political rallies.
@@heybamanba1 I see that you don't dispute that most of the talk shows have become political. And my point is that I really don't want, nor need, any of those "entertainers" deciding political situations for me. However, you have pontificated quite wrong in trying to blame one party for being unwilling to compromise. It is clearly both parties engaged in that game.

One of the few famous people I can say I cried a little bit (or a lot) when she died. Just an amazing, funny, sweet woman who so many people loved. Have to wonder how much more she might have done. Loved you Gilda.
Gilda seems like a REAL nice person that could be funny. Today's comics are all schtick. You don't ever get a real moment during today's interviews of today's comics.
Yeah, I love Gilda Radner too. Such a talent and such a sweetheart. What a horrible injustice life dealt her, while countless scum live on. Thanks so much for this clip.
She was not only a kind, caring person she was a fantastic entertainer...left us way, way too early. Thank God for video that we can still see today....I loved her....RIP, Gilda.
Roseanne Roseannadanna, Emily Litella, and the infamous Baba Wawa. When I was a teenager back in the 1970's all the kids would run home on a Saturday night, and I'd ask em where are you guys going and they'd reply, that we're going home to watch Saturday Night Live. The not ready for primetime players made it worth watching. Gilda Radner was the best !!! RIP !!!
@@susansehorn2412 I agree the original was the best. However during the 1980's and into the early 1990's it had its moments but it wasn't the same. And now SNL isn't funny anymore and it's unwatchable..
@@susansehorn2412 Facts! I wasn’t born yet but so what that’s what re-runs are for, and yup the 1st 5yrs we’re the best! Ps, her and Bill Murray almost ended up together. He adored her. Rip.
I quote Gilda almost daily, "its always something"! 🤔🤣. The mishaps hiccups & foibles of our daily lives. With todays Cancer treatments, i often wonder if she wouldve survived. 👯♀️ rip 🙏
She fought ovarian cancer for years. Perhaps today's HPV vaccine could have prevented it, but, ominously, she had surgery to remove "polyps" when she was still a college student.
The light was greatly dimmed when Gilda passed away. She could make me laugh just by walking into a room. I still grieve her early demise. She had so much more to give and be rewarded for with her talent .
One of my ALL TIME favorite acts on Saturday Night Live was when Gilda Radner & Steve Martin were dancing (mostly spontaneously) all over the stage, trying to dance likel Fred Astaire & Cyd Charisse! Steve was tap dancing like crazy, and Gilda was doing the same. He tried to hoist her up in the air, and nearly killed himself & her too, but they kept dancing & dancing! Hilarious! 👍😂😂😂👏👏👏👏😘 What a CLASSIC!!! It’s like Johnny said ... “I laughed so hard, I almost did things grown up’s shouldn’t do!” Miss you Gilda & Johnny! And, Gene Wilder, too! 😢 R.I.P. 🌺
Anyone know what all girl school she went to in SF? So did I and my sisters and my brothers went to all boy schools. What she described was exact. There is no pressure to be around boys so you can be silly and everything and didnt worry about impressing boys
I loved her on SNL as a kid, but never saw her in an interview. I love her even more. What a genuine, honest, funny, wonderful woman. Unfortunately those are the ones that leave us too soon.
Gilda's fame as a comedienne never changed her as a person, as those who knew her universally said; the sweetest and kindest lady to work with and to know. Gilda & Gene will be loved eternally by all.
The Not So Ready For Prime Time Players - that was the original Saturday Night Live cast. Gilda Radner was something else. She was one of the funniest people I've ever seen She passed away way to young due to cancer. So missed her and the show was never the same after her passing. I thought she and Gene Wilder made an awesome couple. I bet they were so much fun to be around.
A few years ago, at work, I said "Nevermind" to a coworker, in the style of Emily Litella. When I got no reaction, I realized that they were born after SNL the first generation.
I’m in my mid-30’s and Gilda is one of my comedy idols. She simply is in a league of her own and always will be. She never shied away from physical comedy and transformed herself into all these unique, unbelievably funny characters and she goes ALL in which is paramount in comedy. I love Gilda and wish she was still with us
I just finished Gene Wilder's autobiography. Gene was honest and true in what he wrote about Gilda. He didn't portray her as perfectly adorable goddess; he portrayed her as a human being, full of charm, humor, and childlike vulnerability. Gene found Gilda to be unique and full of life. That was the gift her talent gave us.
I still miss Gilda to this very day!! Just look at that infectious smile!!! The beautiful, out-going attitude!! There will NEVER be another "Gilda!" 😢😢
Shes the only celebrity who I want to talk to out loud, like, she's an angel in heaven who can actually hear me so.. I gotta say: Hi Gilda, I think you're great. I miss you. If you can read this, I hope you and Gene are up there together. You two wonderful crazy kids always made us laugh and brought joy and happiness to so many of us when we needed it the most. Thank you for that and please tell Gene I say "Hello". Well.. that's it. Have a great night up there in heaven. I hope you were looking down smiling and thought me talking to you like this was cute and funny and I hope it gave you a good chuckle. Much love, from me, and everybody else. Ox
I was doing real good until I watched this ? ) : I had never seen this before and it brings back memories of just how sad her passing was to me, she seemed to be so damned real and down to Earth.
Gilda was such a delightful and real person, devoid of aires and pretention. Impossible not to love.
❤️
Her and Madeline Kahn was such a loss when they passed. Two talented ladies gone way too soon.
AGREED! 2 of the funniest woman ever.
I loved them both. Will always remember them.
Even if both of them lived longer, they would have been gone too soon whenever they went
Agree ♥️
Gilda was the best. We lost her way too soon.
She was definitely one of a kind and so very amazing!
@@January. hahah it drives me nuts when people spell like that lol

I was just thinking what sincerity she exuded in this in this clip with Johnny. Not particularly trying to be funny or needing to be - just genuine.
Me too
It was such a sad day wgen Gilda passed. A loss to us all.
God I love her. Felt so bad for Gene when she died. They seemed truly in love.
I have never heard anyone say a bad word about Gilda. What a wonderful tribute to a person.
I was a teenager when she was on Saturday Night Live. No matter what we were doing on Saturday night, it stopped and we had to watch Saturday Night Live. Gilda had many characters, but Roseanne Roseannadanna was everyone's favorite. RIP, Gilda.

What a sweetheart she was. Miss Gilda.😢
One of the best interviews ever. Having Johnny Carson tell you how funny you are is quite a tribute. She was a gift to the world.
What was sweet is when she said Johnny took care of the weeknights, so she had to take care of Saturday night for people.

"The preface of the book is 101 pages long.... The actual book is only 14 pages." (6:05) Brilliant.
Ive read books like that....
Wow! Years later, these Carson interviews have become an absolute blessing.
"Rose Roseanna Danna," "Judy Miller," "Lisa Loopner" - so many wonderful characters. Such a great loss. Gilda was truly one of a kind!
Sad how young she passed. Such a talent taken far too early. And Johnny's long gone too. And Gene
Emily too!!
@@manofmanyinterests Never mind.
Gail the characters name was Roseanne Roseannadanna and she was brilliant.
When Rosie O'Donnell was starting out in standup, she at first went by Roseanne O'Donnell, but had to change when audiences were disappointed because she was not Gilda's character. True story.
Rest in peace Gilda Radner, and her husband Gene Wilder.

The world was shortchanged when Gilda Radner was taken from us. I've got to believe she's out there somewhere making people laugh.
She was so sweet and genuine. She totally deserved all of the prices heaped upon her.
SNL has not been good in 25 years.
30
Oh at least 30 years.
1982 to 1995 was the best stretch.

God Bless her and Gene both. I grew up with their comedy. They gave me such wonderful memories.
I seen Gilda at the Salt Lake City Utah airport back in 1977 while I was at work there as a janitor . She was so cool and funny in her own roll.
Gilda's pure spirit and genuine humor brought so much levity to our world; we desperate need another Gilda today!!!

I hope you were looking down smiling and thought me talking to you like this was cute and funny and I hope it gave you a good chuckle. Much love, from me, and everybody else. Ox
I was doing real good until I watched this ? ) : I had never seen this before and it brings back memories of just how sad her passing was to me, she seemed to be so damned real and down to Earth.
