A year after her film debut in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure where she informed audiences that there’s no basement at the Alamo, the late great Jan Hooks joined one of the strongest SNL casts of all time in 1986. She stood out even among legends like Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman whether it was warbling alongside Nora Dunn as the Sweeney Sisters or as Kathie Lee to Carvey’s Regis.
Other memorable impressions include Tammy Faye Bakker, Nancy Reagan, Sinead O’Connor, and Bette Davis. That’s in addition to out there character creations like Brenda the Waitress in a terrific sketch with Alec Baldwin. #27 will be up soon!
