I love Emma Stone's tribute to Gilda Radner. I read an old interview with Emma where she said that being on Saturday Night Live was one of her dreams when she was younger. She never got to be a cast member, but she did get to host the show multiple times, and during one monologue, she talked about how she used to watch SNL as a kid and how she loved Gilda Radner in particular. I feel like I know where she's coming from, because even though I'm not old enough to have seen her perform live on the show, I too fell in love with Gilda Radner from watching old episodes, and Roseanne Roseanndanna in particular has been a comfort to me in the past. So it warms my heart seeing Emma pay tribute to a performer who inspired her, with an iconic character who hasn't been forgotten, and getting to perform as said character in front of Jane Curtin no less, who used to serve as Roseanne Roseannadanna's "straight man." The only thing I don't like is that they cut the punchline! I'm sure the people from New Jersey could stand to endure a few jokes at their expense :P

Here from the Melissa McCarthy Hot Ones episode. She did a fantastic job and it’s crazy to think how nervous she actually was!

[zbeebs]

Which is more nerve-racking? Doing a Gilda Radner impression while literally sitting next to Jane Curtin, or doing Stefon while Bill Hader himself is doing Stefon?

"Don't answer it, it's always a shark."


Classic.

Jane still has it. I love her humility and being able to break character and be honest and thankful while being honored and still soooo very talented. ...I actually teared up, just thinking of the history. The progress of actors (male and female) being able to coexist in the same environment without the same terror in the 1950s era of BS.

“First off I am 35 years old, I am divorced, AND I LIVE IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!”
I love this part

[snowleaf]

omg edward norton imitating stefon... now i've seen everything <3

[arielwebb]

“Cocaine” hahaha perfection. This was a nice tribute. My favorites were represented. It’s sweet when they do tributes.

[InformationIsTheEdge]

Jane Curtin, still the best! Poise, timing and hilarious, dead-pan delivery!

[adamd]

She pulled off the Chris farley way better than I thought anyone could at first I was like no way there gonna try to do him but she pulled it off

[lorideprod.]

Came here after Melissa McCarthy's story on Hot Ones. She did great.

The desk made it through 40 seasons. Well lived pal <3

[danielmitchell]

Stefon and Seth Meyers have so much chemistry even when they're fighting

[jettcarlburg]

Loved Emma Stone paying homage to Gilda Radner, but I remember seeing it originally and they omitted the punch line to the whole skit: "Mr Feder you sound like a real attractive guy. YOU BELONG IN NEW JERSEY!!!!"

[canaisyoung]

Edward Norton's Stefon looks like what would happen to him if all those years of raves and club drugs caught up with him.

[Beverly_Dingus]

It's so odd seeing how small Ed Norton looks next to Bill Hader.

[StephenJEscobedo]

Not ashamed to say I got a little teary-eyed when Emma Stone did get Gilda Radner impersonation. Probably my first childhood crush....

[lunayoshi]

This is the most wholesome SNL sketch in history.

[josie-nvft]

I love how stefon is mommy and Seth is daddy
