Description: In 1979, Gilda Radner threw a sommerlong party and 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, 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.

Rating: - NOT A KIDS REVIEW
This is one of my favourite "LIVE" recorded movies. I also have selected bits from this show on CD "Gilda Radner: Live From New York". VHS has all of everyones favourite characters from SNL's early days, and time fillers of Father Guido Sarducci, that were thrown in while Gilda and the crew were preparing for the next few scenes. Most of these fillers dont really even make sense. All the rest of the VHS is absolutely hilarious, the songs are catchy, characters still the same as ever in new situations, and Gilda herself is as radiant as she always was. ********This is a must have for any Gilda or ...

Rating: - Legacy Of Gilda
Gilda Radner was hands down the funniest woman in history. From her comedic roles on the big screen, to the timeless characters she portrayed on the small screen. In my mind, Gilda will live forever. From the funny, chubby girl from Detroit, to the skinny, outrageous comedic. Not to be overlooked, this video was made at the height of her popularity on Saturday Night Live. All her classic characters are portrayed, from Emily, to Lisa, to Roseanne! Although Gilda's life was cut short, her spirit and laughter will live forever! LA DOLCE GILDA!!!!
Rating: - Gone But Not Forgotten
This video is a loving tribute to Gilda. Why is this video not on DVD. Gilda is gone, but not forgotten, at least not by me. It's time to move Gilda out of the video age and into the digital age, before even DVDs are obsolete. The characters Gilda plays are so funny. Tragic she had to die. She was so full of humor and warmth. Ohhh!, Well, never mind.
Rating: - It just doesn't get any better than Gilda Radner.
We all lost a friend in 1989. I know that's how I feel. Gilda was one of those RARE people whose heart and kindness penetrated through to her audience during performances. You felt like you KNEW her.
Fans of Gilda and "Saturday Night Live" will thoroughly enjoy this video. "Gilda Live" includes almost all of the comedienne's most beloved characters. Lisa Loopner, Judy Miller, Roseanne Roseanna-danna, Emily Litella and Candy Slice and the Slicers are all featured. The segment where Roseanne Roseanna-danna is a featured speaker at a college graduation will have you howling with laughter. ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful! Absolutely Brilliant! Creative!
This was such a wonderful video. I am a new fan of Gilda Radner and was blown away by her performance in this video. She was brilliant and beautiful. Her song "Touch Me With My Clothes On" was absolutely beautiful. She was an amazing and talented person whom was taken away from us too quickly. She was brilliant and I loved this video. Thanks for all your help!
