Commencement -- Columbia School of Journalism

Uploaded by: prof911sc
Video Description:
In 1979, Gilda Radner threw a summer-long party at Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre. Share the fun as Gilda's Saturday Night Live alter-egos take on new comedy material not even the Not Ready for Prime Time Players were quite ready for. Among the many highlights: Emily Litella substituting for a Bedford-Stuyvesant teacher who's been the unfortunate victim of a "stubbing". Lisa Hoopner whining through "The Way We Were". Roseanne Roseannadanna grossing out grads at the Columbia School of Journalism. And joining in for even more hip happiness are several of Gilda's SNL cohorts. Paul Schaffer (Late Night with David Letterman) plays straight man and plays up a musical storm. Father Guido Sarducci (Don Novello), rock critic and gossip columnist for the Vatican's L'Osservatore Romano, reveals the astonishing "Kennedy/Lincoln Coincidenza" and poses a new model for higher education: the five-minute university.

hey, I heard this same speech somewhere else, but without the video. I thought it was real! And if it was, what an honour it would have been to have Gilda Radner do her Roseanne Rosanna Danna character at your graduation ceremony?!

It was a very sad day when she died. I got the Gilda Live album when it came out and played it often. I loved her on SNL. I think about her often. Her characters have lived on and she continues to make people smile and laugh.

I have not watched SNL much after that first Cast. I can belive its 32 years ago, and Gilda god bless her soul has been gone for over 20 years now. But life goes on, and it becomes a treasured memory. You tube has its uses and this is one of them.

Wasn't Rose Ann Scamardella on Eyewitness News opposite Ernie Anastos for a number of years?
