One of the all-time greatest SNL moments. The reactions by Myers, Madonna and Roseanne--priceless!

[kayoh]

Madonna doing ‘I’m not worthy’ to Streisand while sitting next to Meyers is just fantastic. And it was a spontaneous reaction.

[shanestuddard]

I remember watching this live when it was aired in 1992. What at surprise! It was (and remians) priceless.

[robfuzz]

Madonna actually has good comedic timing. She was just rarely offered the right roles. Barbra's appearance here is legendary. She was so fond of this skit that she had Mike bring the character on tour with her.

[albiman]

The improvized ''I can die now'' from Myers is genious!

[BennyB]

This is the most natural I have seen Madonna letting her guard down. Even when she is acting she tends to be someone acting upon an act if that makes sense. This skit was hilarious! They all look wonderful!

[donnawoodford]

This is a classic. After Barbra appears, Roseanne was outta her mind, shaking Madonna and collapsing back into the couch. A stick of butta. This skit blew everyone's mind!

[TheresaTV]

I should show this to my teenage son... after all these years, I still say "like buttah" and "I'm a little verklempt, talk amongst yourselves" and he has no idea why, lol.

[adsinozable]

Madonna is genuinely star struck by Streisand, her reaction is very sweet!

[michaelosborne]

The best acting Madonna has ever done. One of my favorite moments from SNL.

[Bertoboy]

Love Madonna, but this is the BEST acting she's EVER done!

[italoman]

I remember this episode, and Barbra's cameo was everything! And on a sidenote, ironically I think this was one of Madonna's best "acting" appearances ever, seemingly comfortable with her comedic delivery and humor in this skit.

[heidifedor]

What's funny is Barbara Streisand wasn't scheduled to appear. She just happened to be in her car near the studio, and asked the driver to stop, and made it before the skit was over. Their shocked reaction is genuine. The magic of live TV.

[tofutti]

The look on Mike's face when he sees her off stage...classic. one if the best surprise cameos ever

[mkim]

Still cracking me up in 2021. Mike Myers is so talented. Great way to start the new year!!

[tjwash]

One of the best cameo walk ons in history

[suzylux]

One of the best moments in SNL history, they so WERE NOT expecting Barbra to appear and their reaction was gold. Great moment. (and she's still like butta)

[BillofRights]

Madonna's timing, expressions, body language, reactions to her cast mates, and vocal delivery were all perfect...what a shame Hollywood never effectively tapped into her comedic genius....she could have been a major enduring industry talent.

[jeffgarcia]

I liked how Madonna was such a good sport to even make fun of herself when a caller suggested that Barbra should do a duet with Madonna.

[judysmith-randle]

I remember watching this the first time it aired. I was howling with laughter. MaDonna nailed this..and Mike Meyers ..just too funny..I was tearing up ..ot was so funny..loved that Barbara surprised everyone...SNL when it was just a delight to watch..
