So thankful I know who she was and had the chance to share in her humor.
Share her videos with your family and friends; they will learn to love her, too.

He sorta disappeared after her death. It must have been hard for him.

Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Jom Lovitz, Phil Hartman, Jan Hooks, Nora Dunn, and in the pre-loony-RWNJ part of their lives Dennis Miller and Victoria Jackson. Gilda was penciled in to host the last show of the season, I think, but the writer's guild went on strike...and the rest of the season was canceled...and then she was sitting in a clinically sterile room, hearing the news from her doctor that you never want to hear
That, would have been a show. But sadly it never happened in this reality
