Gilda Radner’s Roseanne Roseannadanna became one of Saturday Night Live’s most unforgettable characters — loud, fearless, and hilariously unfiltered on Weekend Update. What many fans didn’t know? She was inspired by New York news anchor Rose Ann Scamardella from WABC-TV’s Eyewitness News. Gilda’s parody was so sharp — and so funny — that Scamardella herself became a fan, saying she took it as “the highest compliment.” From “It’s always something!” to those unforgettable hair flips, Roseanne Rose

Smart, fearless, character-driven comedy—front and center from day one. Their impact? Still felt. Their legacy? Undefeated. #SNL #SaturdayNightLive #GildaRadner #JaneCurtin #LaraineNewman #ClassicSNL #S
