Heidi Fedor great story 😁😁😁

Are you sure? That would be too much coincidence.

yup. true story. she was in the area for something on her end and knew of this skit. awesome right?

7:21 look at Mike's double take that was genuinely a surprise to him

Heidi Fedor 😅😂🤣🤣

If you find an old Will & Grace where Madonna plays a roommate...a natural at comedy, what blows my mind is she was offered the role of Trinity in The Matrix before Carrie Ann Moss.

I've long thought that Madonna cannot let her guard down, is too self conscious in roles to embrace her characters, thus comes off stiff. And, that this is the best acting I've seen her perform, by far.

Madonna was so great on Will and Grace

She was great in Desperately Seeking Susan bc she didn't gaf whatsoever. Then she got worldwide and started taking herself a bit too seriously. I can't even watch Evita. What a joke to upraise that person. But yeah for a sec she was a cool chic

The funny part is that Roseanne looks better than Madonna now, and was the only actual Jew on that show.

Yeah, because they had no idea she would show up. She was giving a show across the street at Radio City and wanted to give everyone a surprise since 30 Rock is just a short walk from where she was. Even the crowd went nuts. Amazing that they all were able to somewhat stay in character after that.

Agreed, what a classic moment!

Because they were real

Like butta

and today Roseanne is a crazy Trump freak

Completely agree, and if it’s true that Barbra just appeared randomly and that they weren’t expecting it, then that’s even more amazing🤩🤩🤩 P.S. Hi Shane, my name’s Shayne too, you have a cool name dude😉

That last 60 seconds....amazing. Madonna and Roseanne freaking out. I have to watch it again and again. Fuhget about Myers.

It was like butta!

Same! I was 14 and didn’t get the hoopla then. As a 46 year old I now realize what an iconic moment this was. Pure television magic.

I said “no big whoop” so often after this

Roseanne shook her so hard, Madonna started to lose her wig-you can see her using her hand to keep it on.

@@davidthaler7018 - thank you Roseanne. 😘

It’s like buddah.

Madonna sucks what is wrong with you clones?

I caught that too. When she starts doing the bowing to royalty thing and then her ongoing reaction, you can tell she’s sincerely excited and my guess is at that phase of her fame Madonna didn’t get starstruck very easily.

It's a "Wayne's World" moment ("We're not worthy!").

Rosanne passes out!

Way back in the 80's when Madonna was shooting to the top, many established stars and singers would diss her and her singing abilities. This was around the time Mick Jagger publicly said she had a voice like Minnie Mouse on helium. Madonna said in an interview she'd met Barbra Streisand and she had been really nice to her, and just said, "go for it kid". At that time she was possibly the only major talent to be supportive of her....

i know right, he just see's her coming in on the side and for a split second was totally stunned

Did he not know she was going to appear?

​@@Dreamskater100 No. Lorne invited Barbra to surprise them!

Even better, the REAL Linda Richman (Myers mother-in-law) was also in the audience that night.

I love his double take

Sounds like my youngest daughter. I say the catch phrases from before she was born or after she was born, but, was a baby or little and she has no idea what I'm talking about, and gets pissed and says who cares what people said in the stone ages! Horrible child :)!

TheresaCarol me too!

Oh man I do too! Mike Meyers brought a whole cool level to Yiddish! Even my mother, God rest hah soul, started saying "I'm verklempt!"

Haha yes share the magic! My Mom and I used to quote this skit all the time. I was around 9 when I watched it with her lol

That's so cute.

Agree 100%

Madonna was so good I didn't notice Barbara

One of? This is THE best ever!

Back when SNL was still good and the cameos were exciting

I was waiting for Barbra to add "All this talk about food, I'm getting hungry, girls... You got a bialy & a smear?" That would have been TREMENDOUS!

Same thoughts exactly

Madonna is a great comedic actor and is perfect in this role, bouncing off these two…… especially Mike Myers

In hind sight it's become very apparent that Madonna has always wanted to pretend to be Jewish

You're right. It is like everything she does is an act. For a couple seconds here she actually seems real.

That was a thousand years ago when she was still very much her own self, before she even bought her first record contract by paying the studio. Two things stick to my mind when it happened, then it's her not really being in touch or looking like she's in touch with reality , it's when Madonna does country and also I'm thinking her daughter making an appearance with Terry Mugler on all fours. full circle. Malcolm McLaren Vogue

Too true!! Love Barbra

I grew up on the Sou- sorry, Sowth Shaw of Long Island and could not figure out WHAT WAS THE JOKE? FACT: "Mike Meyers" is a Jewish lady named Linda who cross dresses as a Canadian and she is at LEAST three of the people on my block alone.

These days it would either be called antisemitic or cultural appropriation. I love it now and forever.

Tru dat! This skit is like buttah!

retnavybrat he knew

Rosanne Barr is flippin' out!

I Know !! Just Wonderful. 😂

Mike Meyers broke character and totally went “OH MY GOD”. THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is star power.

That wasn’t breaking character. It was totally within character.

😂😂😂😂😂

....lottttttta ‘Boca/bedazzler’ pantsuits/tracksuits in my ‘hood...right next to Boca...;)

@BADAZZTHANG whoa there, easy, big fella...

@BADAZZTHANG LMAO

@BADAZZTHANG WE WUZ KANGZ

She is a MAJOR ENDURING INDUSTRY TALENT!

Nichole Lowther - You are so lucky!

This was my dads mom. She grew up in Brooklyn. My dad was born in Arizona and never had the accent but my grandma sure did. She passed in 2005 but I can still do her accent and all the Yiddish she taught me. 🥺💕

Lol this is my mom too lol

@@HarleyLilo1988 years later, her job let the employees dress up for Halloween. Her team picked an SNL theme. She doesn’t know the show, so I dug through her old sweaters, added some costume jewelry, I put a hairpiece on her (by then she kept it short) and everyone thought that she wasn't wearing a costume! It was that close!

I was in kinder!

Madonna knows she is nothing.

@@carleavesceo709 - Oh now, let's not go too far. Madonna's a good sport, and she puts on some great concerts.

Carl Eaves YOU are nothing. Fuck you

I think Madonna did audition for her in the early days ...

@@carleavesceo709 Nasty, nasty, and nasty and so not true...!

Suzy Lux Mike Myers was told that she might make an appearance but the others didn't. Barbra decided at the last second that she would go on.

ah, good on Mike for keeping it a secret! :)

Myers was in on it. Madonna and Roseanne were not.

True indeed!

still not very good, but probably her best.

I love Mike Myers so much lol

Have you ever seen the film Evita?

She didn't really act in Evita. It was a long-form music video, so she was perfectly suited for it.

hutch I thought she was great in a league of there own.

She also didn't act in Desperately Seeking Susan, but she was lots of fun in it.

Nintendo Fan She did shes a great actor but her movies arnt box office hits and she should try horror that might actually work for her to get ppl talking about her in movies

😝

Yes

That's so Prince of Tides!

I have to go and die now……

Sure you’re a man?

100%

@@DarthWaffle. Sure you're not an *sshole? Oh, too late.

It's a good thing Linda didn't hurl, because if she blew chunks, Barbra would catch and it would make her honk, starting a peristaltic spew chain.

I saw that! I love this. I didn't even find out until recently that Barbara was supposed to a surprise. I love their reactions.

I believe Mike Myers Did know that Barbara was going to be there It was Madonna and Roseanne that didn't

I don’t think anybody knew. I’ve read that Barbra was sitting with Lorne Michaels and he said, Why don’t you surprise them?

There is no way in hell they didn’t know.

True ,and I feel bad lol that she dissed herself

@@synia9053 not at all, that's the very heart of satire. Being able to laugh at Yourself.

Joseph Lim True but Madonna was terrific in “Evita”

Desperately Seeking Susan would like a word.

DJ MIXER Relax. It is called “self-deprecating humor”-it is often the funniest.

I know! I actually gasp every time I hear Madonna call herself a kurve; Holy Cow.

"actually"

She was, wasn't she?

Roseanne…. Not so much Roseanne only knows how to be roseanne

Rick Davis - And did you get shpilkiss in your connectigizoids? (sp)

Seriously, it took me a minute to figure that out. But loved it!

Yes she was awesome in this. Very convincing as a Jewish princess

Yeah, she was good, but, I thought she picked and sucked her teeth too much and moved around too much and did her hand gestures too much. She needed some moderations. She just looked like she was nervous and had a lot of 'ticks'.

@@missweatherorweathernot7870 WRONG ! Madonna was 100% PERFECT and she absolutely NAILED that drop dead funny parody, which was an instant classic !!! It was MEANT to be that far over the top. She wasn't playing Mike Myers character, she was playing another, very well known stereotype that really is that outrageous. Comedy is about reality , exaggerated to make it funny. If the reality is hilarious to begin with, then the parody has to be that much more exaggerated to show the absurdity. Your comment is just as inane as your dumb reply that "Snowbirds are canadians". Duh. Maybe buy a sense of humor. You can pick one up dirt cheap from any street vendor in NYC, because most people already have one, and those who don't, are too unfunny to know it. Stay the hell out of comedy clubs in NYC and LA, or they'll eat you alive. You seriously need an edumacation in drop dead funny parodies and caricatures of stereotypes, so you can stop ignorantly try to pick it apart, just to sound like a smartass and trying to dissect them with the scalpel of ignorance. You're not that smart and you sure as f* ck ain't funny.

She spent a long time in the new York underground scene before she hit the big time

@robert howard I remember that. My point was she was probably around enough New York yentas to absorb their accents and mannerisms to nail that skit

Me too. I just jumped up outta my seat and laughed so much!!!

This is the best of the best....priceless gems they all are, Madonna Rosanne, Barbra Joan, and Mikey Myers. I love them all!

Who is MaDonna?

madonner

yeah SNL hasn't been funny in years. Except for Weekend Update

You ain't kiddin!!

More material? They have NO material. Haven't watched the show in 15 years. The "highlights" aren't even funny. I can just imagine how bad the rest of the show must be,

They do!

That's probably because it was genuine. Barbra's cameo was unscripted. She'd just happened to be in the area and pulled one on Mike Myers and subsequently the viewing audience. It was a big story back in the day.

MMT Sr and it was amazing how he stayed in character!

I know, it was and still is hilarious!

@Lost Vocals Mike Myers did NOT know she was gonna come on. Barbara very pointedly said : "So nobody knew I was gonna do it. Mike Myers knew I might come on........". You do understand the difference between "might come on " and " will come on', right? Exactly what part of " Nobody knew I was gonna do it," did you not understand??? Duh. That is precisely why he WAS TOTALLY SURPRISED and showed it ! The sketch was over at that point , and he very likely had given up thinking she was coming on at all. He's been in awe of her and was obviously totally shocked when she suddenly appeared out of nowhere at the last second. Stop trying to be a smartass, dude, his surprise was very genuine. You're making it sound like it was just an act. He was just as surprised and in shock, as the girls. Please work on your reading comprehension, and maybe buy a new pair of eyes.

Marathonracer No, he knew that she might appear, so it was not a complete surprise.

stylecollective don't they say Scarsdale not Scottsdale?

That mother is Roseanne

No it's "Scottsdale, AZ" - because she lives there for her health, most likely some retirement community located where it's warm and dry year-round.

Scottsdale is where retirees with funds go, those with not so much take their RVs/5th Wheels down to Quartzsite, AZ to play shuffleboard.

stylecollective

***** Barbra was having dinner nearby and heard they were doing the sketch that night and decided to just do a last minute walk on. Their reactions are real. None of them knew she was going to walk on at the end. Lorne Michaels probably knew but no one else.

Correct. Lorne Michaels knew, his assistant knew, maybe one or two others, but nobody talked. She was literally last minute.

@@cainster I hope she includes this story in her book

Me too! Somewhere I still have it recorded on a VHS tape.

Yeah, I was watching it too, the night it aired. I still get a kick out of Mike Myers PRICELESS expression on his face when Barbra Streisand walks on.

@@missweatherorweathernot7870 Yes! It was priceless!😊

I peed a little bit when Barbra came on. She's like buttuh!!

@@wil48823 me too lol

Yeah, this scene highlights how underrated Madonna is as an actress. She was pretty amazing in this.

Lee Sher true that

was?

Lee Sher too bad noone wants to work with him anymore.

@@neilyaremchuk6798 i read that his Austin Powers success went to his head and has made him impossible to work with.

Was? Did he pass away?

She did try comedy - did you see Who’s That Girl? It was awful. Desperately Seeking Susan had launched her acting career quite successfully, but then Shanghai Surprise and Who’s That Girl came along and nearly derailed her acting career. It wasn’t that she was a bad comedic actor, but rather that the movies were just terrible. That’s probably why she went for more dramatic roles after that.

​@@DaveTexas And inFunny Girl she definitely played a funny girl lol

​@DaveTexas Oh my God, I love who's that girl! It reminds me of my childhood. It was 6 when that movie came out but that soundtrack was my 1st cassettes!

I liked her performance in Evita but not that one speaking part. It felt so unnatural. The only time I ever found Madonna to be natural at acting was in Who’s That Girl. Now, the character was way over the top but she was supposed to be. Think of her as a Harley Quinn prototype. Madonna should have worked with that director more often because he was able to get her to be an actress.

she is acting natural here

Too much sucking on her teeth business. She wanted the spotlight and I'm getting attention whore from her. It overshadowed whatever acting she did.

Yeah she's surprisingly good and I'm also a little shocked how bad Barr is though, and I'm even a fan.

give me a break

I thought it was Shera Danese

So hawt

@@brandess13 those Calves!

Kheru Djhuti she looks like buttah

totally!

HAHA you're right! A mix of Val and Sylvia. Roseanne is Yetta

I really love Madonna in this classic clip. And I never tire of Barbra walking on in that floppy dark hat and sunglasses. Just perfect💝💝💝 And all the hand gestures and the great buffant hair and fluffy blonde wig are hysterical!!

A legitimate reaction to seeing Barbra Streisand in real life.

Melissa Ngai That’s EXACTLY what my Jewish mother/aunts/sisters would say. “I got a Cadillac; now I can die.”

Sharona from Monk also had the same voice and hair.

Eh.. Me being a NYer, she didn't do as well as I'd have hoped... And I'm as big a Madonna fan as they are Streisand fans! lol SHE'S LIKE BUTTUH!!!!! lol

Except this came out in 1992 over a year before The Nanny premiered in the fall of 1993

@Sam Osler, he didn't say Madonna was copying Val from the Nanny. Just that they sounded alike.

And Mike sounds like Joy Behar

Its fucking annoying

@@mecaillagladue2587 you think I don’t know people who talk like that? I talk like that! Just less extreme

She was great in "A League of Their Own" too. 😊💟

@twilliger123 She was good for her, let's say, in my opinion.

She has her moments but can't direct for shit

@Isla Robinson Evita was FABULOUS. 💐

She was terrible in ALOTO and all her other movies but this SNL skit was good

pat fry Like butter!

That's because she was!

She was! Barbra actually surprised all of them!

That was classic!

I LMAO @ Madonna trying to keep her wig on while Roseanne shook her in excitement!! :-P :-P

Ed - That's all she does.

No she wasn’t.

Yes, she was.

She was her publicist for most of her career

@@howardroark2665 I doesn't matter. That was an adorable skit! I love Barbra as much they do!

Publicist until 2015 I believe.

She was so good in a League of their own.
